Wednesdays (and now Tuesdays) are new comic book day! Each week hundreds of comics are released, and that can be pretty daunting to go over and choose what to buy. That’s where we come in
Each week our contributors choose what they can’t wait to read this week or just sounds interesting. In other words, this is what we’re looking forward to and think you should be taking a look at!
Find out what folks think below, and what comics you should be looking out for this week.
Artie and the Wolf Moon (Graphic Universe) – Artie sneaks out at night to discover their mother is a werewolf!
Avengers Tech-On #2 (Marvel) – The first issue was a lot of fun as a powered up Red Skull strips the world’s heroes of their powers.
Bad Sister (First Second Books) – A middle grade graphic memoir following a young girl who undergoes a crisis of conscience, realizing that she is a “bad sister.”
Batman #112 (DC Comics) – “Fear State” kicks off as the Scarecrow’s plan for Gotham unfolds.
Bountiful Garden #1 (Mad Cave Studios) – In the year 2200, a team of teenage scientists are sent on a terraforming mission to a distant planet. When they are awakened abruptly, ten years early, halted above a strange planet, the teens are tasked with trying to figure out why they’re stalled – or what stalled them.
Deadbox #1 (Vault Comics) – We have an early review and praise this debut.
Glamorella’s Daughter #2 (Literati Press) – The debut issue was fantastic introducing us to a new hero and her daughter who’d rather read books than punch bad guys.
Ka-Zar: Lord of the Savage Land #1 (Marvel) – Ka-Zar is back! We always want to see what’s done with this character that never quite catches on.
Last Flight Out #1 (Dark Horse Comics) – Humanity has chosen to evacuate Earth as a father attempts to make amends with his daughter during the end of the world.
Mazebook #1 (Dark Horse Comics) – Jeff Lemire. Nuff said.
The Nice House on the Lake #4 (DC Comics/DC Black Label) – This series has been amazing with a great mix of horror, mystery, and a focus on the characters. This one delivers some twists that have a major impact.
Nine Stones #1 (Behemoth Comics) – Disturbing dreams shake Alistair “Allie” Jacobi’s nights. But his daytime life is not much better.
Not All Robots #2 (AWA Studios) – In the year of 2056, robots have replaced human beings in the workforce. Mark Russell and Mike Deodato deliver more brilliant commentary.
Savage Circus #6 (Heavy Metal Entertainment) – Strange creators on the loose and a group of thieves. The series has been a lot of fund mashing up genres.
Search for Hu #1 (AfterShock) – A son must protect his parents who a feud breaks out between the two sides of his family.
Snelson #2 (AHOY Comics) – The first issue was interesting looking at “cancel culture”. It didn’t quite deliver the commentary we hoped for but it was enough that we want to see what the second issue has to say.
Star Trek: Mirror War #0 (IDW Publishing) – Star Trek and the Mirror Universe are two things together that always have us interested.
Whistle: A New Gotham Hero (DC Comics) – When Willow discovers that her “uncle” Edward and his friends are actually some of Gotham’s most corrupt criminals, she must make a choice: remain loyal to the man who kept her family together, or use her new powers to be a voice for her community.
Glamorella’s Daughter, the story of Comet, a brilliant and neuro-diverse kid with a superhero for a mom and a super scientist for a dad, is back with a new chapter! Issue #3 finds Comet facing a dangerous test—a birthday party—while Glamorella fights a potential public-relations liability, and Emmett tries to fix the inter-dimensional gate to rescue Steve!
The third issue of Glamorella’s Daughter kickstarts Wednesday, September 8 – Thursday, September 23, 2021. Reward tiers include the opportunity to catch up with all three issues either in print or digitally through GlobalComix.com, and two variant covers, one of which is exclusive to this Kickstarter. A continuation of the Glamorella’s Daughter Sticker Series will be the first physical stretch goal. Both issues 1 and 2 were selected as Kickstarter “PROJECTS WE LOVE,” and had excellent backer response.
Creators Jerry Bennett and Charles J. Martin return us to the world of Glamorella and family, which is under threat from all sides. As super scientist Emmett deals with extra-dimensional intruders, Glamorella is forced to confront a difficult decision, and perhaps the most harrowing, Comet must survive class bully Betsy’s Glamorella-themed birthday party.
