Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

Convoy

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 Business Proposal Vol. 2 (Yen Press/IZE Press) – The second volume continues the excellent romcom. Check out our review!

Captain America Finale #1 (Marvel) – The current run and storyline wraps up!

Convoy (Magnetic Press) – It’s 2074, and the Earth is an abused ruin, a landscape of desolation thanks to mankind’s inability to live in moderation. Pockets of makeshift civilization are spread out like islands in a sea of wasted misery, a distance that only the craziest and most desperate madmen dare to traverse.

Creed: The Next Round #3 (BOOM! Studios) – The series has been a solid extension and next step for the Creed franchise.

Darkwing Duck #8 (Dynamite Entertainment) – The series has been a welcome return for the classic animated series and feels like no time has passed.

Immortal Thor #1 (Marvel) – Al Ewing gives Thor the “Immortal” treatment!

Knight Terrors #4 (DC Comics) – The event wraps up!

Mother Nature (Titan Comics) – Jamie Lee Curtis’ graphic novel about a sabotage campaign against an oil giant!

Mother Russia #1 (CEX Publishing) – We read a copy a long time ago and it was a fun mix of war comics and zombie story.

The Naked Tree (Drawn & Quarterly)The Naked Tree paints a stark portrait of a single nation’s fabric slowly torn to shreds by political upheaval.

The Penguin #1 (DC Comics) – The Penguin as a pawn for the United States intelligence community!?

The Schlub #1 (Image Comics) – Failing dentist Roger Dalton blames the world for his problems until he is body-swapped with the world’s greatest superhero. Can Roger save Earth and finally prove to his family he’s not a loser? Or are we all doomed?

Solo Leveling Vol. 7 (Yen Press/IZE Press) – The action is so good as it wraps up one storyline and opens up quite a few more. Check out our review.

Spy Superb (Dark Horse) – Fantastic spy action with amazing art.

Things in the Basement (First Second) – An adorable graphic novel for kids that’s a can’t miss.
