Traveling to Mars #2

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.

Breath of the Giant (Fairsquare Comics) – Legends say the North is the home of Giants whose breath can bring the dead back to life. Sisters Iris and Sophia, decide to go on a quest to steal this breath in order to resuscitate their dearly departed mother

Dark Web: Ms. Marvel #1 (Marvel) – The event has been interesting so far and we’re intrigued to see how Ms. Marvel fits into all of it.

Dead Seas #1 (IDW Publishing) – Ghosts are real and dangerous. Their ectoplasm is also able to cure diseases. The concept is unique and original and we already have a glowing review of it.

GCPD: The Blue Wall #3 (DC Comics) – Writer John Ridley has been exploring the tough job that is the GCPD as well as its corruption. It’s like the best television cop show in comic form.

Ghost Planet (Scout Comics) – A family of deep space explorers rushes to solve the mystery of Ghost Planet before their recently-dead loved ones return to kill them next!

I Hate Fairyland #2 (Image Comics) – The first issue is exactly what we were expecting with violence, rudeness, and some great art. It’s Looney Tunes violence in a fantasy world and a perfect comic to escape in to during these cold months.

Junior #1 (Scout Comics) – What’s a young space marine supposed to do when a rogue asteroid slams into the space station she was sent to repair? Well, she grabs her alien, hippo-like sidekick and she crash lands on a dinosaur-infested planet-that’s what she does!

Les Miserables Omnibus Vol. 1 (Seven Seas Entertainment) – We’re suckers for anything Les Miserables.

Traveling to Mars #2 (Ablaze) – The first issue was fantastic, about the first man to go to Mars. He was chosen because he has terminal cancer and it’s a one way trip anyways. The series does a great job of mixing sci-fi and satire.
