Hi, welcome to our weekly post where we tell you “What Comics to Watch For On Wednesday.” We are digging through decades of experience/research (not really) to find a few titles worth your time this week. It is good to note that we rarely suggest mid-run titles, because we try to provide good jumping on points or oddities that must be seen to believe.
First, let’s take a look at how we did last week. We recommended 5 titles to check out last week and we are going to look at the Ifanboy.com average community ratings for each book to see how our suggestions panned out.
1. Trillium #1 killed it and pulled out an average community rating of 4.8 out of 5. The flip book style was much appreciated.
2. Bendis’ top-notch work on All-New X-Men #15 garnered praise and an average community rating of 4.3 out of 5.
3. Superior Spider-Man’s still hanging in there as #15 grabbed a 4.2 average community rating and didn’t manage to kill the Hobgoblin.
4. Number 4 on our list is sad, because even in it’s demise, Dial H #15 (last issue) could only lock down a 4 out of 5 average community rating. Cest la vie.
5. Sidekick #1 apparently underwhelmed as our lowest performer from last week with a 3.3 average community score.
Now to this week’s offerings:
Batman #23
Zero Year reaches it’s climactic moment. Shocker…Bruce Wayne becomes Batman. Bet it will still be great to read.
Walking Dead #113
I have a feeling that Rick is going to die soon. Things are picking up to a fever pitch. You got to get in on this series!
Thor: God Of Thunder #11
The end of something truly beautiful and entertaining, issue #11 wraps the historically great story of Gorr and the three Thors.
Herobear and The Kid #1
Reprinting of the popular indie series merits you checking it out if you missed it the first time.
Astro City #3
We can almost guarantee that unless Kurt Busiek goes crazy, every Astro City issue will be suggested in this column. It’s just too good to not recommend!
Infinity #1
The Marvel Main Event begins here! Infinity launches with issue 1. Thanos ain’t rising anymore…he’s here.
Saga #13
Everyone’s (‘cept me) favorite comic book picks up after it’s long break. Fans and new readers alike will dive into this cinematic story and leave satisfied.
