A.X.E.: Judgement Day #3

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 Calculated Man #3 (AfterShock) – The series follows a former mob accountant now in witness protection and using his mathematical prowess to not get whacked.

A.X.E.: Judgement Day #3 (Marvel) – The event has been impressive so far and with the end of the previous issue, the pivot should be interesting. It’s both what we expected and not.

Bunnicula (Atheneum) – The popular kids book becomes a graphic novel!

Damage Control #1 (Marvel) – The infamous group gets the spotlight with a new series. Are they going to get more of a spotlight elsewhere?

Magic: Ajani Goldmane #1 (BOOM! Studios) – The popular Planeswalker gets a solo comic!

Minor Threats #1 (Dark Horse) – Patton Oswalt and Jordan Blum writing another comic? Yeah, we’re in for this one.

Olympus Rebirth #1 (DC Comics) – DC has a big picture plan for Wonder Woman and this comic series will be key for whatever is coming.

Public Domain #3 (Image Comics) – The series has been an intriguing one about a creator who finds out he holds the rights to a billion dollar franchise and his kids involvement. It’s definitely unique and different.

Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories #1 (Dark Horse) – Dark Horse has taken over the kids focused Star Wars line and we’re interested to check the tone and how these stand out.

Tales of the Human Target #1 (DC Comics) – Find out about the events leading up to Chase’s poisoning.

Task Force Z #11 (DC Comics) – The series has been a lot of fun and far better than the concept should be. Great art ads to it all. One we look forward to each issue and excited to see what’s next. It’s just fun popcorn reading.

What Remains (Uncivilized Books) – What Remains is an innovative graphic novel that weaves documentary and memoir forms to capture the sociopolitical fabric of Colombia, spanning 200 years.

Wynd: Throne in the Sky #1 (BOOM! Studios) – The popular fantasy series is back with a new volume.

Patton Oswalt and Jordan Blum team for a new Creator-Owned series!

Posted on by

From Patton Oswalt and Jordan Blum, the showrunners behind the hit Hulu series Marvel’s M.O.D.O.K., comes their first creator-owned series Minor Threats. Featuring superstar artist Scott Hepburn, with colors by Ian Herring, and letters by Nate Piekos. Minor Threats is a genre-bending crime drama about superheroes and villains and the last gasp of the colorful innocent days of the silver and bronze era of comics before they are dragged into the grit-soaked modern times.      

It’s hard out there for a supervillain. Not the world conquerors, chaos engines, or arch-nemeses… but the little guys, the career criminals. The ones who put on uniforms, knock over jewelry stores, and get tied to telephone poles before the hero swings off to face the actual big bad. Times are tough for costumed crooks… and they’re about to get much worse. The psychotic Stickman has done the unthinkable and murdered Kid Dusk, sidekick to Twilight City’s premier crime-fighter, The Insomniac. The Insomniac’s teammates, The Continuum, are tearing Twilight apart, turning it into a terrifying police state–desperate to capture the Stickman and stop the Insomniac from “crossing that final line” in which he may never come back from. Caught in the middle are the small-time c-list villains, finding it impossible to pull jobs or even walk down the street without being harassed by these heroes. With a bounty on the Stickman’s head, former villain Playtime decides to put together a ragtag team of equally disgruntled supervillains to take down the Stickman and kill him themselves. Leading her on a dark journey into the criminal underbelly she’s tried so hard to escape.

Minor Threats #1 (of four) will be in comic shops August 24, 2022. Minor Threats will have a standard cover by Scott Hepburn, a special foil variant of the standard cover, and a variant by Hellboy’s Mike Mignola and Dave Stewart!
