Ginseng Roots #12 is an interesting finale focused more on the “roots” of the story than the Ginseng

Ginseng Roots #12 wraps up Craig Thompson’s story as he reflects on a lot, including the comic itself.

It continues to focus on Thompson’s creation of the comic itself and more research in Korea and China. At the same time, it focuses on Thompson’s own family and his relationship with his brother.

Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

Ginseng Roots #12

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.

Abbott: 1979 #1 (BOOM! Studios) – On the eve of the 1980s and the Reagan Administration, Detroit is burdened with an oppressive darkness-both political and supernatural. It’s the start of the final chapter of the trilogy!

Birds of Prey #2 (DC Comics) – The first issue was what we expected hitting a lot of moments we’ve seen before but the interaction, personalities, and art, has us excited for more. The debut was a lot of fun and we’re expecting more for the second.

Clementine Book 2 (Skybound) – Clementine’s adventure continues in the second volume of this graphic novel series for younger readers based on the popular video game set in the world of The Walking Dead.

Count Dante #3 (Scout Comics) – The comic is the sort of true story about the martial arts legend. How much is fact and how much is fiction? That’s for you the reader to decide.

The Devil That Wears My Face #1 (Mad Cave Studios) – It’s Face Off meets The Exorcist and it’s so good. Watch our initial review.

Ginseng Roots #12 (Uncivilized Comics) – It’s the finale to Craig Thompson’s series that has him celebrating his parents’ 50th wedding anniversary. It’s been an interesting series about a world so few of us know.

G.O.D.S. #1 (Marvel) – It’s a “bold” expansion of Marvel’s Gods and the first issue is… interesting. We’re expecting big things from this, so this is the chance to get in on the ground floor.

The Midnite Show #1 (Dark Horse Comics) – Cullen Bunn and Brian Hurtt… that alone has us excited about this horror series about monsters of the silver screen coming to live and wreaking havoc on a small town.

The Night Eaters Vol. 2 Her Little Reapers (Abrams ComicArts) – The first volume caught us off guard with its horror roots. It delivered so many twists and turns, we’re excited to see what the second volume brings.

The Plot Holes #2 (Massive Publishing) – Sean Gordon Murphy’s new indie series’ debut was full of interesting ideas about characters in books who have to save other books. It was more than enough to get us intrigued to see what comes next.

Ranger Academy #1 (BOOM! Studios) – If you had a chance to join the Power Rangers, would you do it? We’re intrigued about this new series that expands the Power Rnagers Universe.

Transformers #1 (Skybound) – We’re Transformers fans and this comic already has sold out at the distributor level, so it’s hot, hot, hot! We’ve read it already and our review will be out Wednesday and we definitely have thoughts.
