Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

The Blackout Bombshell #1

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.

Al Capone (Black Panel Press) – The history of the famous mobster is explored here! As fans of mob stories, we’re pumped to check this out.

The Blackout Bombshell #1 (Massive Publishing) – After a night of drinking turned into a blank slate, Jack must put together what exactly he’s gotten himself into before he ends up in a world of trouble. Sounds like the type of detective story we enjoy.

Captain America #1 (Marvel) – It’s a new volume for Cap and a new creative team and we’re always excited to see what a new crew brings to the classic character.

Dark X-Men #2 (Marvel) – The first issue was a lot of fun, as much fun as Fall of X can be, and we’re excited and hoping the second issue brings the same.

Disney Villains: Hades #2 (Dynamite Entertainment) – The first issue was solid with a great look and great feel as it focuses on the overlooked and under appreciated Disney villain.

Green Lantern: War Journal #1 (DC Comics) – John Stewart gets his own series the the debut issue is a hell of a start.

Hexagon Bridge #1 (Image Comics) – Explorers Jacob and Elena Armlen find themselves trapped in a strange parallel dimension of elusive landscapes and shifting architecture inhabited by mischievous entities.

Investigators Vol. 7 All Tide Up (First Second) – This series is so much fun with over the top action and cool gadgets. It’s great for kids and adults alike!

Jungle Juice Vol. 1 (Yen Press/IZE Press) – It’s pretty much the X-Men but insect/human hybrids instead of mutants. And, it still works and is a hell of a lot of fun.

Predator vs. Wolverine #1 (Marvel) – Let’s be honest, this is a comic store debate in comic form.

Rare Flavours #1 (BOOM! Studios) – Discover the tantalizing tale of Rubin Baksh, a demonic Rakshasa with a down-to-earth dream of becoming the next Anthony Bourdain. The comic sounds pretty unique and with Ram V. writing and Filipe Andrade on art, we’re excited to check it out.

Rumpus Room #1 (AWA Studios) – Meet Bob Schrunk, technocrat billionaire, collector of bad art, and victim of a hideous skin condition that can only be treated with a highly illicit and definitely not FDA-approved face cream that must be…harvested. From human beings. It’s Mark Russell… that alone has us reading this.

So What’s Wrong Getting Reborn as a Goblin Vol. 3 (Yen Press) – The series has been a nice twist on the reincarnation story focused on how to build and organize a society.

Tomb Raider King Vol. 4 (Yen Press) – The volume wraps up one story line and kicks off a hell of a lot more. Fans of the series won’t want to miss this!

Traveling to Mars #8 (Ablaze) – Mark Russell and Roberto Meli’s series has been filled with emotion and heart… and some laughs and satire.

From the demented mind of Mark Russell, Ramon Rosanas, and AWA… Rumpus Room!

Scares. Squirmy satire. Skin cream. From the keen mind of Mark Russell comes Rumpus Room, the upcoming satirical thriller series distributed by comics publisher, AWA. Created by Russell and artist Ramon Rosanas, Rumpus Room tells the story of Bob Schrunk; technocrat billionaire, collector of bad art, and victim of a hideous skin condition that can only be treated with a highly illicit and definitely not FDA-approved face cream that must be…harvested. The first issue of this original, 5-issue series will be available on Wednesday, September 20.

In Rumpus Room, a new-agey technocrat billionaire named Bob Schrunk keeps an assortment of people who’ve offended him in some way imprisoned in his subterranean “rumpus room.” Every week, his prisoners must vote out one cellmate to a horrible fate: their bodies ground up to make the not-over-the-counter facial cream that hides Bob’s morbid skin condition. Bob is in total control, but there’s just one thing he doesn’t know: his most recent “guest” is a cop, and she’s carrying a concealed gun.

AWA’s Rumpus Room is created by writer Mark Russell and artist Ramon Rosanas. The series is colored by Ive Svorcina and lettered by AndWorld Design, with covers by Tony Harris. Coming off the success of his crowdfunded book of cartoons, Bunkbed Mishaps, Russell has also illustrated hilarious child-like art variant covers for each issue. Rumpus Room #1 will be available Wednesday, September 20, both digitally and in stores wherever comic books are sold.
