Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

TRAVELING TO MARS #5

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.

007: For King or Country #1 (Dynamite Entertainment) – We loved the last miniseries and we’re expecting more fun with this one. Bond fans won’t want to miss out on this.

All the Devils Are Here #1 (Scout Comics) – It says it reinvents the exorcism story, and we’re interested in seeing how it does and if it pulls it off.

Ambassadors #2 (Image Comics) – The first issue was an interesting mix of Willy Wonka and superheroes and how it ties in Millarworld’s bigger picture has us intrigued.

Captain America: Cold War Alpha #1 (Marvel) – An event is coming and this kicks things off!

Dark Ride #5 (Image Comics) – We’re loving this horror series and excited to see where the next arc goes. Who’s corrupted? What are these demons? We want to know more!

Giant Kokju #1 (Image Comics) – A twist(ed) take on the giant monster genre.

The Gimmick #2 (AHOY Comics) – This superpowers meets wrestling series had a very interesting debut and we want to see where it goes from there.

Great British Bump off #1 (Dark Horse) – Described as an Agatha Christie-styled murder mystery set in a competitive baking competition, that has us completely sold on this.

Guardians of the Galaxy #1 (Marvel) – The first issue is entertaining and has us wanting to find out what more happened. Read our early review.

Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 6 (VIZ Media) – The series has been great so far changing up the kaiju concept and then it did it again after well into the series. We want to see what happens next! Great action. Great images. Lots of fun.

Maniac of New York: Don’t Call it a Comeback #2 (AfterShock) – You thought Harry was killed? Guess what, that’s not the case. We’re loving this horror franchise.

Missing You (IDW Publishing) – Siblings who recently lost their mother bring an injured deer home to rescue it. We’re already holding back tears.

Phantom Road #2 (Image Comics) – The first issue was really interesting with a pair of individuals transported to a strange world. We’re not quite sure what’s going on and want to find out more.

Red Zone #2 (AWA Studios) – The series about an American Professor of Russian of Slavic studies being called in by the US government for a secret mission to Russia is interesting considering the state of the world.

Seasons Have Teeth #1 (BOOM! Studios) – In a drab, colorless world, the seasons bring change… and also destruction. The seasons arrive to a retired conflict photographer as personified, god-like creatures. Sounds original!

Space Job #3 (Dark Horse) – Each issue has had us cracking up in this workplace comedy meets Star Trek.

Star Wars: Ewoks #1 (Marvel) – Ewoks. Nuff said.

TMNT/Usagi Yojimbo: Wherewhen #1 (IDW Publishing) – It’s TMNT meets Usagi Yojimbo. We don’t need any more reason to be excited for this.

Traveling to Mars #5 (Ablaze) – The series has been an amazing mix of satire, comedy, and drama, all with a ton of heart. One of our favorites this year.

WildC.A.T.s #6 (DC Comics) – The series has delivered great action, solid moments with the characters and finally cracked the code in bringing the Wildstorm world into the DCU!

WHERE MONSTERS LIE #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.

Action Comics #1052 (DC Comics) – Superman is back and brought his entire family. The previous issue was a lot of fun and left us with a lot of questions. Add in some awesome art, good backup stories and the Man of Steel and friends are flying high!

The Beginning After the End Vol. 2 (Yen Press) – The first volume was fantastic and left Art and his parents under attack and about to fight! Big reveals are promised in this one!

Cosmic Ghost Rider #1 (Marvel) – The character took a break and is back in a new series that has someone killing in his name. We’re intrigued by it all.

Do a Powerbomb (Image Comics) – Collecting the amazing wrestling series. This is one to check out if you’re a fan of the sport, family drama, fantastic action, or amazing art.

Hallows’ Eve #1 (Marvel) – The character was one of the more interesting things to come out of “Dark Web”. A series dedicated to her? We’re willing to give it a shot.

Hunt. Kill. Repeat. #1 (Mad Cave Studios) – Artemis is on a quest for revenge to confront her father, Zeus, for taking away everything she ever loved.

Karate Survivor in Another World Vol. 4 (Seven Seas Entertainment) – It feels like quite a while since we got the third volume, but the series has taken an interesting spin on the reincarnated genre pitting karate agaisnt swords and sorcery.

Phantom Road #1 (Image Comics) – Dom is a long-haul truck driver attempting to stay ahead of his tragic past. That sounds interesting but it being by Jeff Lemire and Gabriel Hernandez Walta makes this a must.

Red Winter: Fallout #3 (Scout Comics) – All hell breaks loose as Joseph and Darya find themselves in a deadly gunfight with the Chistyye Krovi. Who will survive and what will be left of them?!

Red Zone #1 (AWA Studios) – When his support team of commandos is ambushed and killed, it’s up to Randall to fight his way out of Russia using his “particular set of skills.” It sounds like 80s action films are back!

Rogue and Gambit #1 (Marvel) – Krakoa is heading towards a shakeup and it sounds like this series may play a role in what’s to come.

Skull & Bones: Savage Storm #1 (Dark Horse) – Set in the world of the upcoming video game, there’s been a string of solid pirate comics lately. We’re hoping this continues that trend.

Spider-Man: Unforgiven #1 (Marvel) – There’s been solid changes to Marvel’s vampire world and we’re hoping this keeps up whatever direction they’re heading.

Where Monsters Lie #2 (Dark Horse) – The first issue was fantastic, introducing us to a community where slashers/serial killers live when they’re not doing their thing.
