Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

Dark Ages #4

Wednesdays (and now 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.

Bad Kitty Meets the Baby (Roaring Brook Press) – Great graphic novels for kids that are full of lessons and funny enough parents will enjoy it too.

Batgirls #2 (DC Comics) – The first issue was kinetic fun. Fun being the operative word.

Daredevil: Woman Without Fear #1 (Marvel) – “Devil’s Reign” has been fantastic and this series focused on Elektra/Daredevil has us excited to see what this chapter brings.

Dark Ages #4 (Marvel) – This alternate world has been awesome so far. With technology/electronics on the fritz, the heroes must take on Apocalypse who might have an answer to the world’s problems.

Devil’s Reign: Superior Four #1 (Marvel) – Doc Ock in his “superior” phase has been great and it looks like we’re getting “superior” versions of well known characters from across the multiverse in his latest machinations.

Falconspeare (Dark Horse) – We’re Mike Mignola fans and love his comics, so an entire graphic novel by him and Warwick Johnson-Cadwell gets us to take notice.

Glam Prix Racers: Back on Track (Feiwel & Friends) – The first volume was My Little Pony meets Mario Kart for kids but we loved it too! We’re excited to check out the second race of the Glam Prix Cup on GLittergear Island!

Joe Hill’s Rain #1 (Image Comics) – Joe Hill’s novella gets a comic adaptation and we gave it a glowing review.

The Last Session #2 (Mad Cave Studios) – Friends get back together to finish their roleplaying campaign but a new player threatens to derail the experience.

Robin & Batman #3 (DC Comics) – Great story but it’s the jaw-dropping art that has us sucked in.

The Scorched #1 (Image Comics) – Todd McFarlane has been expanding his Spawn universe and we get our first team book!

Space Cadet #1 (Scout Comics/Scoot) – A young kid dreams of going to the Moon. One night he wakes up on the lunar surface! Luckily, there’s a friendly astronaut there to give a tour.

Sports is Hell (Silver Sprocket) – If you’ve never read Ben Passmore’s graphic novel, here’s your chance in a new printing with a new publisher.

We Ride Titans #1 (Vault Comics) – A dysfunctional family are the ones who pilot the Titan that protects New Hyperion from kaiju.

Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

INFERNO #4

Wednesdays (and now 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.

Arkham City: The Order of the World #4 (DC Comics) – Having to deal with the inmates who escaped Arkham on “A day”, this series has been a tense thriller.

Bad Kitty for President (Roaring Brook Press) – It’s time to elect a new president of the Neighborhood Cat Coalition! We’re new to this line of books but what we’ve read so far is fantastic. They’re both entertaining and educational with great lessons for kids (and adults).

Dark Knights of Steel #3 (DC Comics) – The fantasy setting for the DC universe has been interesting so far with shocking moments that have kept us entertained and wanting to see what’s next. A fantastic “elseworlds” type story.

Fourth Man #1 (AWA Studios) – Three dead bodies lay in a rural morgue – all murdered in the span of three weeks. It’s up to two detectives from opposite sides of the tracks to determine who put them there. Yeah, we’re game for this.

Inferno #4 (Marvel) – This is it! Jonathan Hickman’s era for the X-Men ends here and we have no idea how it’s going to wrap up.

Monkey Meat #1 (Image Comics) – Juni Ba has impressed us with everything done so far, so we’re excited for this anthology series from the creator.

Nocterra Special (Image Comics) – The book of Blacktop Bill! It’s origin of the mysterious villain.

One-Star Squadron #2 (DC Comics) – The first issue had us laughing at this series that looks at the “also ran” heroes and their agency to help people.

So Far So Good (Centrala) – The story of the Mann brothers and their band waging guerilla war against the Communist regime in the early 1950s could be the most dramatic Czech tale of the 20th century.

West #1 (Uncivilized Comics) – Farmers uncover a conspiracy when they discover something in the depths of a tech corporation.
