Survival Street #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.

007 #1 (Dynamite Entertainment) – A new volume and James Bond story, we’re of course excited for that.

The Closet #3 (Image Comics) – If you’re a fan of horror, this is one that’s well worth checking out. It wraps up here so make sure to pick up the first two issues if you missed out!

Dark Crisis #3 (DC Comics) – DC’s event has been interesting to start so far and with the clear Crisis on Infinite Earths tie-in, we want to see if things really start rolling now.

DC vs. Vampires #8 (DC Comics) – The series has been amazing so far. It has kept readers guessing who gets turned, who’s a vampire, and who’s not going to make it. Anything can happen!

The Dead Lucky #1 (Image Comics) – A new entry in the Massive-verse. It’s a new superhero that’s one to keep an eye on if you enjoy the genre.

Metal Society #4 (Image Comics) – The battle between humankind and robot is getting more and more tense as the societies begin to polarize.

Mind MGMT: Bootleg #2 (Dark Horse) – The series returned with the awesome mindtwisting visuals and story we expected. A welcome return and we hope to launch this property even further out there.

Sacrament #1 (AWA Studios) – Pitched as The Exorcist meets Alien. Yeah, we’re in for that.

Survival Street #1 (Dark Horse) – The country has been deregulated and carved up by corporations. A group of former public broadcasting edutainers have banded together as a type of A-Team to help children and fighting for them in the war zone of New Best America.

Sword of Azrael #1 (DC Comics) – Jean-Paul Valley does not want to be Azrael ever again. But he’ll need to don his mantle once more to stop deadly assassins.

X-Men Red #5 (Marvel) – After A.X.E.: Judgement Day‘s opening, don’t you want to see what happens!?

A candy coating of pop culture madness, humor, and cartoonishly absurd hyper-violence is heading to comic shops soon with Survival Street from Dark Horse Comics! Dashed with just enough hope to keep you holding on, Survival Street is an action satire written by five-time Harvey Award nominee James Asmus and Jim Festante, drawn and inked by Abylay Kussainov, colored by Ellie Wright, and lettered by Taylor Esposito.

After an unbridled wave of corporations take over America the country is left completely deregulated. It is effectively carved up into feudal states where billionaires and businesses make their own laws. Among the wreckage, mass privatization shuts down public broadcasting, forcing all the beloved edu-tainers out on the dirty streets. A group of them sticks together, determined to keep helping kids across the country–and to do it by becoming an A-Team-esque band of mercenaries fighting for (and educating!) kids in the crumbling, corporate war zone of New Best America.

Survival Street #1 (of 4) will be available at comic stores August 3, 2022 and is available for pre-order at your local comic shop. It is recommended for ages 14 and up.
