Wednesday is here, and new comics are within reach. So you may be like me and still have a stack of comics that haven’t been read from last week, but here is a list of new titles I will be picking up at my local comic shop.
Like many readers I try to budget my purchases, which can become difficult with the vast amount of quality books being published currently. This week is the release of DC’s Rebirth, but I have chosen to highlight five other titles you should also be picking up this week, plus a few extras for those of you who finally got that refund from that faulty sprinkler you returned.
The Doorman #3 – $3.99
Eliot Rahal, Daniel Kibblesmith, Kendall Goode
Comic reader need to wake up to the great books Heavy Metal is publishing. It is not too late to pick up the previous issues of one of my favorite current series, The Doorman. Issue 3 comes out this week and features a new ally Koalmanac, who, if you didn’t figure out, is a koala. So what happens when a koala has the answers to this galactic conspiricy? We’ll have to wait until tomorrow to find out.
Han Solo #1 – $3.99
Marjorie Liu, Mark Brooks, Sonia Oback, Joe Caramagna, Lee Bermejo
Everyone’s favorite scoundrel gets his very own series! Han is given a top-secret undercover mission for the Rebellion – rescuing a number of informants and spies. His cover for the assignment? Only the biggest and most infamous starship race in the galaxy! You know – the race Han has dreamt of winning his entire life. Will he keep his mind on the mission? And can he manage to pull it off while keeping the lead? Best-selling author Marjorie Liu (X-MEN) comes to the Galaxy Far, Far Away along with superstar cover artist Mark Brooks (ULTIMATE X-MEN) in his return to interior art! Face it, readers – there aren’t enough scoundrels in your life!
The Joyners #1 – $3.99

The Joyners is out for a second release, this time R.J. Ryan and David Marquez are joined by Kelly Fitzpatrick for an all-new, full-color serialized format. In 2062 Northern California, technology mogul George Joyner stands on the brink of revolutionizing American life (again) with his latest high-flying creation. Unfortunately, his family life is a mess, and his wife Sonya has had enough. Can George pull it together before she decides to leave him for good?
Jughead #7 – $3.99
Chip Zdarsky, Derek Charm
Summertime is here! Jughead convinces Archie to join him at a cottage, away from all the madness of Riverdale, but the madness of Riverdale cannot be escaped. The madness of Riverdale is everywhere.
Weird Detective #1 – $3.99
Fred Van Lente, Guiu Vilanova, Mauricio Wallace, Josan Gonzalez, Francesco Francvilla
The streets of New York have been plagued by a pattern of crimes too weird and bizarre for the average detective. Lurking in the evidence are shadows of loathsome horrors from beyond space and time, seeking to usher in the unimaginable evil of the Old Ones. And the only man capable of fighting against the unspeakable terrors isn’t a man at all. Detective Sebastian Greene is one of them-it takes a monster to catch a monster.
