Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

Wonder Woman #800

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.

Bone Orchard: Tenement #1 (Image Comics) – The story of seven residents in a building and the dark secrets that bind them together…beginning with a death that feels much more sinister than natural. From Jeff Lemire, Andrea Sorrentino, and Dave Stewart, this is a must get.

Cryptid Kids Vol. 1 Bawk Ness Monster (First Second) – A young girl wants to find “Bessie” before she moves to prove her experience as a little girl was real.

Disney Villains: Scar #3 (Dynamite) – Dynamite’s series of comics focusing on its villains. All have been really good so far adding to the classic tales we know and love.

Incredible Hulk #1 (Marvel) – The Hulk is diving deep into its horror roots with this start of a new volume.

Josif 1957 #1 (CEX Publishing) – You know about Laika, the Cosmonaut dog sent into orbit on Sputnik 2. But no one knows about JOSIF, the first gorilla in space!

Nightwing #105 (DC Comics) – Another cool visually experimental comic where it’s told from Dick’s perspective.

Scarlet Witch Annual #1 (Marvel) – The “Contest of Chaos” kicks off here with this prelude that has Agatha Harkness learning that the Scarlet Witch absorbed Chthon.

Tomb Raider King Vol. 3 (IZE Press) – Jooheon is back to doing what he does best-finding Relics…or stealing them! But as his collection grows, so does the list of enemies.

Ultimate Invasion #1 (Marvel) – The Ultimate Universe is back! Sort of.

Wild’s End #1 (BOOM! Studios) – It’s a spin on the War of the Worlds type story where a crew at sea returns home to find their seaside home now occupied by alien invaders.

Wonder Woman #800 (DC Comics) – The current story arc wraps up as a new one begins with the new creative team!

Luckily, her friend Youngseo has a business proposal for her: go on an arranged date in her stead, and Hari will receive a hefty compensation. Things grow complicated, however, when the other party turns out to be her new CEO–and he’s got a proposal of his own!
