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.
The Boxer Vol. 6 (Yen Press/IZE Press) – One of the best comics out right now, it’s not about the boxing, it’s about the individuals in and out of the ring.
Chernobyl Fall of Atomgrad (Palazzo Editions) – This graphic and harrowing account of nuclear catastrophe at Chernobyl in April 1986 follows the dozens of human stories cruelly affected by disaster.
Conan the Barbarian #10 (Titan Comics) – The series has delivered with every issue breathing new life into the classic character.
Dawnrunner #2 (Dark Horse) – It’s mech vs. aliens/monsters but there’s something really cool about that first issue that has us excited to check out the second.
Dick Tracy #1 (Mad Cave Studios) – The classic character returns with a hell of a creative team behind it. Can’t wait to see what this new series is like.
Duke #5 (Skybound) – The new take on G.I. JOE has been amazing as we get to see Duke attempt to figure out what’s going on. It’s been a great way to connect the property to Transformers and the greater Energon Universe.
Feral #2 (Image Comics) – The series is cute animals meets a zombie story. The first issue was fantastic and we’re excited to see what’s next.
If You Find This I’m Already Dead #3 (Dark Horse Comics) – The series wraps up and it’s been a hell of a ride. Don’t miss this one about a journalist stuck on an alien world. After the last issue’s reveal, we can’t wait to read this one!
The Penguin #9 (DC Comics) – The series might be about the Penguin’s return to Gotham but it has solidified him as a scary Batman villain.
The Six Fingers #3 (Image Comics) – The series from the perspective of a serial killer has been an interesting spiral into madness.
Ultimate Spider-Man #4 (Marvel) – One of the best comics Marvel is putting out right now. It’s everything that makes Spider-Man good and then some.
Universal Monsters: Creature from the Black Lagoon Lives! #1 (Skybound) – We’re excited to check out the next entry in the return of Universal Monsters to comics! Dracula was so good, we’re hoping this one is close.
