What an oddly shaped week! So many comics shipping and so few books! I see many new debuts for you to take a look at, probably led by the relaunch of WOLVERINE, or DCEASED: THE UNKILLABLES, but I also like the look of BANG!, MARVEL VOICES, PLUNGE, GODKILLERS and ON THE STUMP.... yow, so many comics! And even more after the jump…. What looks good to YOU??!?

Nice broad week with many favorites! For new series, the obvious standout is GREEN LANTERN SEASON TWO, but I know many folks are also looking forward to HARLEY QUINN & THE BIRDS OF PREY, and there's also lots of love for Boom's ALIENATED. On the book side, everyone in the world should have a copy of WHAT'S MICHAEL in their collection, there's a new middle reader ZATANNA & THE HOUSE OF SECRETS, and I'm certainly curious for the adaptation of Wes Anderson's ISLE OF DOGS. Much more under the jump! What looks good to YOU?

It is one of those weeks with a number of fine releases, but not a ton of NEW series starting up. I think my suggestions this week will begin with the next issue of QUESTION: THE DEATHS OF VIC SAGE, the conclusion of SECOND COMING (Mark Russell is here in person NEXT Wednesday at 5p!), and, sure, why not VENOM: THE END (promises, promises). On the book side of the universe, I quite liked GREEN LANTERN: LEGACY for kids, NO LONGER HUMAN by Junji Ito for adults, and why not OVER MY DEAD BODY OGN? Much more under the jump! What looks good to YOU?

The first full week of New Comics for the New Year brings about many new title launches! Just some of them include CLOCK with art by the great Colleen Doran, a new PINK LEMONADE, a new STRANGER THINGS mini and FIREFLY one shot. There's also also a new issue of the loverly TONGUES, and the kick off of DC's new HB/70s artists crossovers: DAPHNE BYRNE. Much more below the jump; what looks good to YOU?

New Comics Day on New Year's Day starts off with a strong Marvel week for launches: Matt Rosenberg's HAWKEYE: FREEFALL, Donny Cates' THOR, and the new "Empire Strikes Back" era STAR WARS. The book side leans more DC: Shannon Hale's DIANA PRINCESS OF THE AMAZON, Greg Rucka's BIRDS OF PREY HUNTRESS (not what it was called originally... and those chains on the new costume seem VERY impractical, right?), and let's round it out with a new NATHAN HALE'S HAZARDOUS TALES: MAJOR IMPOSSIBLE. More below the cut — What looks good to YOU?

It is seriously the biggest shipment week of periodicals that I've seen in.... well, several years! So big I'm going to forgo the usual Reading of the Number Ones, and just point you to the list itself. You WILL find one or more comics to buy this week under the cut, by crikey! WHAT LOOKS GOOD TO YOU?

The first wave of huge-weeks-right-before-Christmas starts now (my pull list was 40% larger than usual!) with a massive incoming week! The winner of the Intriguing New Launches contest this week goes to DKR: THE GOLDEN CHILD, with RED MOTHER #1 close behind. And why not LUCY CLAIRE: REDEMPTION #1 behind that? On the Book side of the world, the huge winner must be HOUSE OF X / POWERS OF X in HC, but the "huger" winner goes to the treasury format version of SILVER SURFER: BLACK. Don't want a recent Marvel book? The pick up the KABUKI OMNIBUS for some yummy David Mack work. So so so so SO much more below the cut -- what looks good to you?

Possibly the darkest set of first issues I've ever seen -- especially the week before Thanksgiving -- but you play the hand you're dealt, I suppose. The nicest looking debut is probably KILLADELPHIA, but I also know a ton of people crazy-excited for a new SPACE RIDERS, and also for HELLBLAZER #1. On the book side we're doing a bit lighter -- nice looking Auto bio in PLATE TECTONICS, or, mm, "classic action", maybe? with finally-in-print editions of SECTION ZERO or DOC FRANKENSTEIN. There's lots of other things, too, behind the jump -- what looks good to YOU?

Interesting looking week, filled with many diverse things! I'm probably most excited about QUESTION: THE DEATHS OF VIC SAGE with art by Denys Cowan and Bill Sienkiewicz, but Maria Llovet's HEARTBEAT also looks keen, and does a new Umbrella Academy story with HAZEL & CHA CHA SAVE CHRISTMAS. On the book side, the clear winners are LITTLE BIRD (our December GN Club selection) and COURAGEOUS PRINCESS (our January Kids GNC pick!), and I also sense a fair amount of anticipation for the first trade of BLADE RUNNER 2019. SO much more under the jump: what looks good to YOU?

A very fine and strong week of comics! My pick for the week will be FAR SECTOR by N.K. Jemisin & Jamal Campbell, with Brian K Vaughan & Marco Martin's LCSD WALKING DEAD (on sale on Saturday!) close behind. Plus Garth Ennis returns to PUNISHER: SOVIET? Yes please! On the book side of the universe, we've got THE HOUSE by Paco Roca in English *and* Spanish releases -- that is our Nov selection for the Graphic Novel of the Month Club (www.graphicnovelclub.com/start) -- and WONDER TWINS (Our, er, January selection), and for something not a club pick, let's go with the FIREFLY: STING original GN? Like I said, great week, and soooooo much more under the cut -- what looks good to you?

What an outrageously interesting week of comic books! So many so, that we’re focusing exclusively on them this week! The big corporate book of the week is probably the relaunch of LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES, but many would also claim NEW MUTANTS (or maybe X-FORCE) claiming that. In the creator-owned vein, UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY is the big book, but B.B. FREE also looks pretty great, and I am psyched to get DRAGONFLY & DRAGONFLYMAN (nee THE WRONG EARTH) back on the shelf. And for a neat licensed comic, here’s more of THE MAGICIANS. See? No room for books, and I didn’t even mention the DC acetate covers, or…. well, there is a LOT under the jump. What looks good to YOU?!??!?

It's a fine looking week of pre-Halloween comics! The "Big book" is probably EXCALIBUR #1, but we're also looking forward to A BASKETFUL OF HEADS, and that PINK LEMONADE sure looks pretty interesting, no? On the book side is the imported Moebius book 40 DAYS SANS LA DESERT B, but it's chased closely by BLACK MAGE (We've got the Signing on Saturday), ooh and 260 pages of collected STREET ANGEL for $20? Count me in! So so much more under the jump — What looks good to YOU?

Not a lot of big obvious hits this week, which leaves some more room for some smaller books. I am most excited by a new Gabrielle Bell in MY DOG IVY, but a new "jumping on" point for KAIJUMAX SEASON 5 is always welcome. COUNT CROWLEY, RELUCTANT MONSTER HUNTER has a nice cover, and I thought MONEY SHOT was a good giggle. And we have the first real post-HoX/PoX test with MARAUDERS #1. On the book side, I think everyone should own at least one classic Lee/Kirby story, so maybe BEHOLD GALACTUS is the one? Otherwise, I thought that the Chip Zdarsky SPIDER-MAN LIFE STORY was a fine read. Much more under the cut — what looks good to you?

The main periodical this week has to be the launch of the ongoing X-MEN #1 by Hickman -- how many folks will continue to follow the post-HoX/PoX material? But I'm just as excited for SUPERMAN SMASHES THE KLAN as well as MARKED from Image. On the book side, I think the big excitement for several people is CRITICAL ROLE v1, while we also can spotlight local artist Ken Garing and GOGOR, and who doesn't love a new issue of MAD? Much more under the cut! What looks good to YOU?

A week a bit light on the book format material, so we'll lean on periodicals to spotlight here at the top. I am most excited by a new Craig (BLANKETS) Thompson comic -- GINSENG ROOTS #1, but the book most of comics will be talking about is probably the wrap up of Hickman's X-Men mini series with POWERS OF X #6. On the DC side, THE AUTHORITY team of Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch bring you THE BATMAN'S GRAVE #1, and there's also a post-movie JOKER comic by John Carpenter (!). I also like the title of SHOPLIFTERS WILL BE LIQUIDATED, but then I work retail. In the book corner, I think the most exciting thing is Gilbert Hernandez's MARIA M finally completing. SO much more under the cut — What looks good to YOU?
