Not-Sew-Wicked Stepmom Vol. 5 packs a lot in setting up what’s to come

Posted on by

As the Freidkin family prepares for the Queen Mother’s return, they’re filled with dread and anticipation―until the woman arrives, and she actually seems…nice? Abigail’s first impressions of Sabrian’s mother are hardly what she was expecting, but that doesn’t mean she’ll let her guard down. When she senses a change in Blanche’s behavior, Abigail begins to suspect something is off, and her suspicions are confirmed when she learns of the Queen Mother’s plans to marry off her stepdaughter!

Your Letter is one of the best comics released so far this year. An emotional gut punch

Posted on by

Sori Lee is hoping for a fresh start at her new school–which is easier said than done when every single thing reminds her of why she transferred. As luck would have it, an anonymous letter taped to the bottom of her desk provides a perfect distraction. Little does Sori know that she’s about to embark on the scavenger hunt of a lifetime! What starts off as simple curiosity becomes a healing journey as Sori discovers just how far a small act of kindness can go.

“GET YOUR REVENGE IN THE RING.” Coach K’s words echo in Yu’s ears, the image of Carmen’s unconscious body still fresh in his mind.

But attacking Carmen took things too far…and Yu is going to make Fabrizio pay. When the day of the middleweight championship arrives, the audience quickly realizes they have bought tickets to a showdown between a man and a monster. Yet the true monster may not even be in the ring at all…

Posted on by
The Boxer Vol. 7

Wednesdays 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.

Aria of the Beech Forest Vol. 1 (Yen Press) – The first volume is great and a fantastic fantasy series kids will enjoy.

Biker Mice From Mars #1 (Oni Press) – The classic animated series is back as a comic!

The Boxer Vol. 7 (Yen Press/IZE Press) – The amazing series continues with a brutal boxing match that shows us who the true monster is.

Dark Knights of Steel: Allwinter #1 (DC Comics/Elseworlds) – A new fantasy take on classic DC characters. We’re intrigued.

Destro #2 (Skybound) – The first issue was interesting expanding the world of G.I. JOE by showing off even more familiar characters. We’re intrigued to see who else pops up in this first issue.

G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #308 (Skybound) – The series has been strong with action, paranoia, and a lot of chess. Add in great artwork and it’s one to not be missed.

The Last Wardens #1 (Mad Cave Studios) – A long-lost brother returns from the Vietnam War and he’s plagued by a mysterious and monstrous mutant and also being hunted!

Man’s Best #5 (BOOM! Studios) – Every issue has been great of this sci-fi series. We’re expecting the finale to be no less.

Namor #1 (Marvel) – Namor has been out of the spotlight for a while and this series feels like it’s going to put him right back in the spotlight with a new take.

Paranoid Gardens #1 (Dark Horse Comics) – Loo is a nurse at the most bizarre care-center in the universe. The staff are not entirely human, and the cases downright unearthly. Aliens, ghosts, superheroes, and more creatures plague its hallways as both doctors and patients and the hospital itself seems to be somewhat self-aware.

The Powerpuff Girls #1 (Dynamite Entertainment) – The classic animated series is back as a comic!

Ultimate X-Men #5 (Marvel) – The series has been fascinating, standing out as a horror take on the classic X-Men.

Witchblade #1 (Top Cow Productions) – It’s been quite a while since the series has been on the shelves and we’re excited to see what this update will bring and change.

Your Letter (Yen Press) – The best thing we’ve read this year.

From members of the creative team behind The Remarried Empress comes a riveting tale of a strong-willed ruler, her unprecedented harem, and the alluring men within!

Men of the Harem is a dramatic fantasy manhwa from the creative team behind The Remarried Empress, featuring gorgeous art and a strong female lead.

Jungle Juice Vol. 4 isn’t the strongest volume but there’s a lot packed into it

Posted on by

DON’T LET THE BAD BUGS BITE The good news: The task force has safely made it out of the trap Pet Shop had set for them on Black Rock Island. The bad news: Suchan had to go into full-on berserk mode to do so…and now he has been labeled a threat by NEST! Branding Suchan a ticking time bomb, most of the professors want him quarantined before he can become a risk–save for Professor Ji. In order to prove his student isn’t the monster they think he is, Professor Ji must fight Suchan, even if that means trying to kill him. Unbeknownst to NEST, though, death looms around another corner–Pet Shop is back, and this time they’re bringing the battle to campus. Their target? Professor Ji…!

Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

Karate Prom

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 Business Proposal Vol. 5 (Yen Press/IZE Press) – We’re a sucker for this rom-com.

Archie Comics: Judgement Day #1 (Archie) – When Archie changes up their formula, it’s usually a winner.

Barkham Asylum (DC Comics) – The title alone puts a smile on our face and DC has a good track record when it comes to graphic novels for kids.

Blood Hunt #2 (Marvel) – The first issue of this event far exceeded our expectations and we can’t wait to see what comes next and who gets turned.

The Butcher’s Boy #1 (Dark Horse Comics) – A true Lovecraftian horror? Or just the feverish dreams of a mentally unstable serial killer. Six friends on a road trip are about to find out…

Cobra Commander #5 (Skybound) – The newly launched “Energon Universe” has breathed new life into Transformers and G.I. Joe and we’ve been sucked in to see how Cobra has come about. We’re excited to see this series wrapping up and what comes next.

Conan the Barbarian #11 (Titan Comics) – The series has been fantastic with every issue. The best sword and sorcery on the comic shelf right now.

Fall of the House of X #5 (Marvel) – The event overall has been ho-hum but we want to see how it wraps up and leads to the new start in July.

Karate Prom (First Second) – We loved it. Check out our review.

Local Man #10 (Image Comics) – This series’ praise and award nominations is well deserved.

Oshi No Ko Vol. 6 (Yen Press) – The series has been an interesting inside look at celebrity as well as a murder mystery.

The Talk (Henry Holt) – Darrin Bell examines how “the talk” has shaped nearly every moment of his life into adulthood and fatherhood.

Ultimate Black Panther #4 (Marvel) – We have no idea what it was at the end of the issue, but we’re excited to find out!

Void Rivals #9 (Skybound) – Another series in Skybound’s “Energon Universe,” Springer from the Transformers is in this and we’re intrigued as to how that piece of puzzle works.

White Boat #1 (DSTLRY) – Scott Snyder and Francesco Francavilla are a must buy, especially when together.
