Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

Savage Avengers #1

Wednesdays (and 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.

A Town Called Terror #2 (Image Comics) – The first issue was an intriguing mystery mixed with some horror that wasn’t what we were expecting. We want to see where this goes as a son returns home after his father forces him to.

Break Out #2 (Dark Horse) – The first issue introduced us to a world where mysterious cubes kidnap people under the age of 18 and the group of kids that are going to break those taken out.

Duo #1 (DC Comics/Milestone) – Milestone’s Earth-M expands with new and original characters and Duo kicks that off!

History Comics: Stonewall Riots (First Second) – A great opportunity and way to learn about this historic and important event.

I Hate This Place #1 (Image Comics) – A mysterious force that attracts ghosts, aliens, and other supernatural beings is in a farm house inherited by two individuals.

Immortal X-Men #2 (Marvel) – The first issue shook up the Quiet Council and we want to see where this series goes to changing the status-quo.

Kaiju Score: Steal from the Gods #2 (AfterShock) – The popcorn heist series continues as a new team must figure out how to steal from a kaiju while also not get killed by a rival gang.

LEGO Ninjago Garmadon #2 (Image Comics/Skybound) – The first issue was fantastic and feels like it captures the “LEGO feel” while not overdoing. Story is first here, it just happens to be in the world of Ninjago!

Life Zero #4 (Ablaze) – Turn your brain off zombie killing action.

Savage Avengers #1 (Marvel) – Conan’s on the run from a Deathlok hunting him down. There’s a Terminator aspect to it all but it’s the team itself, both characters and creative, that has us excited.

Shaolin Cowboy: Cruel to Kin #1 (Dark Horse) – Geof Darrow’s latest volume of the popular series. We’re always excited to check out where he takes it and the amazing art.

X-Men Red #2 (Marvel) – How would this series stand out from the other “X” titles? We found out in the first issue which planted a nice flag and teased the direction it was going.
