Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

Watership Down

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.

Avengers Inc. #2 (Marvel) – The first issue was interesting with a mix of detective story and superhero antics. We’re intrigued to see where it all goes after the debut.

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #20 (DC Comics) – Head back to Kingdom Come!

Dauntless Dames (Fantagraphics) – The book itself is gorgeous and a solid coffee table book. We like the presentation and the history combining for an education read that’s beautiful to look at.

Green Lantern: War Journal #2 (DC Comics) – The first issue was amazing with some solid teases, horror, action, and drama. We’re hoping for more of the mix in this grounded superhero series.

Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong #1 (DC Comics) – The concept is so silly but we’re in all the way and excited for it.

Local Man #6 (Image Comics) – The first volume was fantastic with a nice mix of new and old superheroics. It’s one of the best superhero comics of the year and we’re excited to see where this next arc goes. Jack must investigate a drowning on dry land.

The Man From Maybe #1 (Oni Press) – A postmodern, post apocalyptic epic of Western-infused action. The art looks cool and we’re excited to read the first issue.

Sensational She-Hulk #1 (Marvel) – We’re hoping the new series has the same fun as the television show.

Subgenre #1 (Dark Horse) – A man is living two lives. He is a private detective in a dystopian cyberpunk future trying to solve a triple murder. But when he falls asleep… he wakes up as a wandering adventurer in a barbaric fantasy world where magic exists. Is he two separate people? Or is he a third person that has undergone a psychotic split? New Matt Kindt? Yes please!

Watership Down (Ten Speed Press) – A faithful graphic novel adaptation of Richard Adams’ beloved story.

Exclusive: Get a look at the process behind David Rubin and Nick Cagnetti’s covers for The Man from Maybe

Recently Oni Press announced The Man from Maybe #1 (of 3) – a 48-page, high potency dose of eye-searing, shoot-’em-up action on the high plains of our ruined planet from rising star Jordan Thomas and the infamous artistic savant known as Shaky Kane. Double-sized and double-barreled at 48 gratuitously gargantuan pages, The Man from Maybe #1 (of 3) features a downright demolishing line-up of covers, led by “Swaggerin’” Shaky Kane himself alongside “Dazzlin’” David Rubín and “Nice” Nick Cagentti! And we have an exclusive look at David and Nick’s covers!

In the dry and dead future that’s coming soon, all life belongs to Oppenheimer-obsessed billionaire Harvard Denny and his corporate scavengers from Smile, Inc., who pillage the wastelands in search of atomic contraband.

But when a hyper-advanced vessel of possibly alien origin crashlands on the outer edge of Denny’s empire of neon-lit ruins, will it bring promise or poison to a distorted world? As the race to acquire the ship’s cargo begins, our fate will be decided by a masked bandit and the cold iron of his laser rifle. He knows no name, no home, no surrender—only the whispered hush of those in need who dare call him . . . THE MAN FROM MAYBE!

The Man From Maybe #1 arrives… in shops… this October.
