Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

Posted on by
Sereno #1

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.

Crazy Food Truck Vol. 3 (VIZ Media) – Every volume has been amazing with great action and an intriguing apocalyptic world.

Dead Romans #1 (Image Comics) – Arminius, a Germanic prince raised in Rome, has sworn vengeance against the Empire that butchers his people. We’re excited for this brutal tale of love and war during the birth of the Roman Empire.

Doctor Strange #1 (Marvel) – Stephen Strange is back making this a perfect jumping off point.

Ephemera (Fantagraphics) – Ephemera is a poetic and dreamlike take on a graphic memoir set in a garden, a forest, and a greenhouse. Yeah, we’re in.

Etheres (Source Point Press) – Where do souls go when they don’t belong anywhere else? Journey into Etheres searching for the answer.

GCPD: The Blue Wall #6 (DC Comics) – The series has been a punch in the gut exploring the corruption within the Gotham Police Department.

Mother 47 (CEX Publishing) – In 1940s Germany, a disguised stranger breaks into a remote Nazi megastructure, armed with explosives, and on a mission to destroy a gruesome research project, free its lab animals, and confront the warring sides of his own nature! Sounds awesome to us!

Neighbors #1 (BOOM! Studios) – Family moves to a new town and find out their neighbors are anything but what they seem.

Order and Outrage #1 (Dark Horse) – Jim Starlin and Rags Morales with a new science fiction series!

Plush #5 (Image Comics) – Each issue has been jaw-dropping in a holy shit sort of way and we’re expecting much more as far as that.

Science Comics: The Periodic Table of Elements (First Second) – This series of graphic novels have been educational and entertaining for people of all ages.

Sereno #1 (CEX Publishing) – Meet Sereno, the Mystic Master of Light and guardian of New Teia, a city where magic and science intertwine by night! Sounds pretty cool to us.

Solo Leveling Vol. 6 (Yen Press/Ize Press) – The series has been great and this is a volume that really shifts things around.

X-O Manowar Unconquered #1 (Valiant) – A new era and new direction for X-O Manowar!
