A.X.E.: Judgement Day #3

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.

A Calculated Man #3 (AfterShock) – The series follows a former mob accountant now in witness protection and using his mathematical prowess to not get whacked.

A.X.E.: Judgement Day #3 (Marvel) – The event has been impressive so far and with the end of the previous issue, the pivot should be interesting. It’s both what we expected and not.

Bunnicula (Atheneum) – The popular kids book becomes a graphic novel!

Damage Control #1 (Marvel) – The infamous group gets the spotlight with a new series. Are they going to get more of a spotlight elsewhere?

Magic: Ajani Goldmane #1 (BOOM! Studios) – The popular Planeswalker gets a solo comic!

Minor Threats #1 (Dark Horse) – Patton Oswalt and Jordan Blum writing another comic? Yeah, we’re in for this one.

Olympus Rebirth #1 (DC Comics) – DC has a big picture plan for Wonder Woman and this comic series will be key for whatever is coming.

Public Domain #3 (Image Comics) – The series has been an intriguing one about a creator who finds out he holds the rights to a billion dollar franchise and his kids involvement. It’s definitely unique and different.

Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories #1 (Dark Horse) – Dark Horse has taken over the kids focused Star Wars line and we’re interested to check the tone and how these stand out.

Tales of the Human Target #1 (DC Comics) – Find out about the events leading up to Chase’s poisoning.

Task Force Z #11 (DC Comics) – The series has been a lot of fun and far better than the concept should be. Great art ads to it all. One we look forward to each issue and excited to see what’s next. It’s just fun popcorn reading.

What Remains (Uncivilized Books) – What Remains is an innovative graphic novel that weaves documentary and memoir forms to capture the sociopolitical fabric of Colombia, spanning 200 years.

Wynd: Throne in the Sky #1 (BOOM! Studios) – The popular fantasy series is back with a new volume.

Tales of The Human Target delivers more details on what happened before Christopher Chance was poisoned!

Posted on by

While taking an assignment to bodyguard Lex Luthor, Christopher Chance, the Human Target, is poisoned and is in a race against time to find out who’s responsible. On August 23, writer Tom King and a host of fan-favorite artists – Mikel Janín, Rafael Albuquerque, Kevin Maguire, and The Human Target artist Greg Smallwood – team up to tell stories of what happened before Chance drank the poison intended for Lex Luthor in Tales of The Human Target.

In this one-shot anthology, Christopher Chance “teams up” with members of the Justice League International – some of whom already are prominently involved in this story – in four connecting mysteries, and one of them may be responsible for the poison that has The Human Target living on borrowed time.

This 48-pager features an incredible main cover by series artist Smallwood, reminiscent of hard-boiled detective novels of the 60’s and 70’s. The comic also features a variant cover by artist David Marquez and a 1 in 25 ratio variant cover from returning Batman artist Jorge Jiménez. Check your local comic book store for availability and pre-ordering details.

For fans that have missed individual issues of the series and want to catch up all at once, The Human Target Book One collects the first six issues of the series by Tom King and Greg Smallwood and is a great way to catch up on the series to date before the second half of the series starts in September (issue #7 on sale September 23).
