Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

Rise of the Powers of X #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.

Disney Villains: Cruella De Vil #1 (Dynamite Entertainment) – Cruella feels like she’s been maligned due to that whole dog thing… and that alone has us excited to check out this new series. Dynamite’s Disney Villains line has been excellent so far.

Jennifer Blood: Battle Diary #2 (Dynamite Entertainment) – Nazi punching. Nuff said.

Lunar New Year Love Story (First Second) – A new graphic novel where Gene Luen Yang is involved? Yeah, that’s an auto read and suggestion.

Masterpiece #2 (Dark Horse) – The first issue was fantastic, focusing on the daughter of two thieves and the person who wants revenge that they stole from.

Petrol Head #3 (Image Comics) – Great art. Interesting world. Just solid sci-fi.

Rebel Moon: House of the Bloodaxe #1 (Titan Comics) – A tie-in to the Zack Snyder film. We’re told it’s a must read if you’re interested in the film.

Rise of the Powers of X #1 (Marvel) – It’s the fall of Krakoa and the X-Men fighting back in this second main series that will lead into what’s next for the Marvel line. Here’s hoping this series kicks off a bit better than Fall of the House of X which left us… wanting.

Transformers #4 (Skybound) – The series has been planting its flag in how it wants to stand out from what has come before while at the same time honoring what has come before.

Ultimate Spider-Man #1 (Marvel) – The first ongoing series to launch out of the new Ultimate Universe. We’re excited to see how it stands out and differs from what has come before and what’s currently going on in the 616.

Wolverine #41 (Marvel) – We’ve been promised a brutal fight between Wolverine and Sabretooth!

Zorro: Man of the Dead #1 (Massive) – New Zorro from Sean Gordon Murphy? Yeah, we’re intrigued by this.

Jennifer Blood: Battle Diary #1

Jennifer Blood: Battle Diary #1 kicks off some solid 80s action

Jennifer Blood: Battle Diary #1

Following the grisly events of Bloodlines, the woman formerly known as Jessica Blute – a.k.a. Jen Fellows, a.k.a. Jennifer Blood – finds herself involved with a new class of criminals. This one-woman bane of organized crime is supposedly dead and buried, and that’s exactly what she wants the world to think. Now, however, a visit to her original penitentiary gravesite puts Blood in the crosshairs of a vicious prison gang – one that has no idea of what’s about to hit them! Jennifer Blood: Battle Diary #1 is the start of a whole new story that’s new reader friendly and evokes 80s action films.

Written by Fred Van Lente, Jennifer Blood: Battle Diary #1 is a solid start to the new miniseries, one that any new reader can walk right in to. I regularly read the series when it debuted many years ago, loving the over the top action that reminded me of films I grew up with. Admittedly, I fell off from reading each subsequent series and it’s been quite a while since I have. That being said, the comic catches readers up with everything they need to know making it easy to jump right in to and appreciate.

And if you’re a fan of 80s action films, you’ll appreciate it. Jennifer Blood: Battle Diary #1 has a vibe that’s a little Cobra, a little revenge films, delivering a read where the dialogue should just be expected as cheesy and the action unrealistic. And it works, it works well. Jennifer Blood: Battle Diary #1 delivers exactly what you’d expect and readers of the series will want.

Artist Robert Carey delivers the cool with color by Dearbhla Kelly and lettering by Jeff Eckleberry. While the action here isn’t quite as prevalent as one might expect, Jennifer Blood: Battle Diary #1 delivers more than enough to keep readers engaged and excited. Part of the visual fun is not knowing where things are going to go. There’s a build up to each moment and visually, you never know where things might go. It could be some amazing action, it could just be a cool back and forth in dialogue. It’s just a solid visual delivery the entire time.

Jennifer Blood: Battle Diary #1 is a good jumping on point. If you just want a comic that knows exactly what it is and delivers some good action where the bullets fly and body count rises, look no further. This is a series that delivers exactly what the audience expects and enjoys.
