Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

The Little Red Fish

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.

Ancient Enemies #5 (Frank Miller Presents) – The series has been solid so far with an intriguing world and story. With just a few issues remaining we’re excited to see where this all goes.

Astonishing Iceman #1 (Marvel) – After the Hellfire Gala, Iceman’s alive!? And he’s part of the resistance!?

Conan the Barbarian #1 (Titan Comics) – A new publisher for Conan means a new beginning and if the Free Comic Book Day release was any indication, we’re in for a treat.

Death of the Venomverse #1 (Marvel) – Carnage wants to be the top dog and is traversing the Multiverse to kill any and all Venoms.

Hellboy & the BPRD 1957 From Below (Dark Horse) – Hellboy, Professor Bruttenholm, and B.P.R.D. agent Archie Muraro investigate an abandoned sawmill that is rumored to be haunted. The Hellboy one-shots tend to be a lot of fun.

Knight Terrors: The Joker #2 (DC Comics) – The first issue was full of laughs as we get to see what type of nightmares the Joker experiences.

Little Red Fish (Rosarium Publishing) – An exquisite reimagining of the Iranian Revolution. An aquatic reef held down by an oppressive regime of blood-thirsty heron struggles to rise up in this harrowing tale of self-discovery, heritage, and revolution. Originally released in 2015, we’re excited to explore this story again.

Magneto #1 (Marvel) – Learn how the once die-hard villain emerged as a conflicted figure in the saga of the X-Men!

Parker Girls #9 (Abstract Studios) – The series has been a lot of fun with a great mix of action and humor.

Quest #1 (Image Comics) – Princess Anya’s new husband Prince Devyan is violently abducted by three giant demons at their wedding. Anya sets out on an epic journey with a growing band of loyal warriors, crossing deadly landscapes and battling horrifying demons.

Ranger Stranger Summer Special #1 (Scout Comics) – The previous Ranger Stranger releases have had us laughing out loud.

Robotech: Rick Hunter #1 (Titan Comics) – Rick must face a new threat and the ghosts of his past in this series that takes place after the events of the Macross saga!

The Sacrificers #1 (Image Comics) – Tomorrow is a harmonious paradise thanks to five families who make everything perfect…for the price of one child per household. Now, as that bill comes due, a son expected to give everything for a family that never loved him and an affluent daughter determined to destroy utopia must unite to end one generation’s unnaturally protracted reign.

Star Wars: Dark Droids #1 (Marvel) – Who or what is The Scourge and why is no droid safe?

Zenescope Entertainment’s Enters the Age of Darkness

Zenescope Entertainment has announced plans for a new event that will become part of the long running hit comic book series, Grimm Fairy Tales. The event is called Age of Darkness and will involve most of Zenescope’s Grimm Universe spinoff series as well as its flagship title, Grimm Fairy Tales as it approaches its landmark 100th issue, due out July 2014.

“Everything we’ve ever done in the Grimm Fairy Tales has led up to this event and the Grimm Universe will be forever changed by this.” states Zenescope President, Joe Brusha. “We’re thrilled that this series has lasted so long and we’re even more excited to see it evolve into something bigger now with the Age of Darkness event.”

Age of Darkness will first hit the Grimm Universe starting in two spinoff titles: Quest and Code Red. But 2014 will get more intense as the Age of Darkness descends upon multiple Grimm Fairy Tales series including Robyn Hood, Neverland, Inferno and Wonderland: Clash of Queens.

“We’re definitely going to shock some fans as we lead up to #100.” says Editor-in-Chief Ralph Tedesco “But Age of Darkness is not being done simply for shock value, we want this ride that our fans have taken with us for the past eight years to really pay off.”

Upcoming Age of Darkenss titles are currently available for pre-order in Diamond Previews, which is out now.
