Wednesday is here again, which means a new week for new comics (SERA & THE ROYAL STARS & TOMMY GUN WIZARDS). If you are like me, you may still have a stack of comics that haven’t been read from last week, but how can anyone fault us for reading. Here is a list of books I will be picking up at my local comic shop.
Like many readers I try to budget my purchases, which can become difficult when there are so many quality books being published each week. So here are 5 titles to consider picking up this week.
SERA & THE ROYAL STARS #2 – $3.99
Vault Comics – Jon Tsuei, Aubrey Mok, Raul Angulo, Jim Campbell
After rescuing the Eye of the Bull, Sera returns to Parsa, only to discover it is no longer her home. Just when it seems war has stripped Sera of everything she holds dear, a surprising ally emerges. Together they set out to turn the tables on her uncle Shaheen’s invading forces.
MALL #1 – $3.99
Vault Comics – Michael Moreci, Gary Dauberman, Zak Hartong, Addison Duke, Jim Campbell
Here in the heartland of the U.S. of A., the world has ended! But worry not, because the mall still stands. And within the walls of this consumeristic mecca lies a new world order: box store tribes and name brand gangs, all vying for limited space and resources. So, actually…you can worry! Especially for poor Andre Reed, who, after the assassination of a tribal leader, has to navigate the mad haven to prove his innocence, and prevent the end of world, again!
TOMMY GUN WIZARDS #1 – $3.99
Dark Horse Comics – Christian Ward, Sami Kivela, Dee Cunniffe, Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou
Eliot Ness and his team of Untouchables work overtime taking on dangerous criminals that hide in the seedy underbelly of 1930s Chicago. Except in this world, Al Capone isn’t dealing in alcohol, but in magic. With Lick, a drug that grants magical powers to anyone who ingests it, mobsters become wizards, ordinary men become monsters, and darker secrets than Ness can imagine lie at the heart of it all.
DOCTOR MIRAGE #1 – $3.99
Valiant Entertainment – Magdalene Visaggio, Nick Robles, Jordie Bellaire, Dave Sharpe, Roberta Ingranata
How do you solve the case of your own death? Paranormal expert Doctor Shan Fong Mirage was born with the ability to see and speak to the dead-an ability that has mysteriously stopped working. Have her powers failed or is something far more sinister at work? Will she figure out her fate and the fate of the one she loves the most?
MOUNTAINHEAD #1 – $3.99
IDW Publishing – John Lees, Ryan Lee, Doug Garbark, Shawn Lee
Abraham Stubbs and his father Noah roam America in a nomadic existence. Convinced they are being pursued by sinister government forces, Noah has them living off the grid, burgling houses to survive. Elsewhere, on Mount Rector, the lone survivor of a climbing expedition staggers homeward, covered in blood. Both are on an inevitable collision course with the picturesque Canadian resort town of Braeriach.
