TOP 5 COMICS TO BUY – 10/05/16: BLOODSHOT, MOONSHINE & SHIPWRECK

Wednesday is here, and new comics are within reach. If you are like me, you may still have a stack of comics that haven’t been read from last week (or last month), but here is a list of new series starting this week, which 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. I have chosen to highlight five promising new titles to consider picking up this week.

Bloodshot Reborn #18 – $3.99

Valiant Entertainment – Jeff Lemire, Tomas Giorello, Diego Rodriguez, Andrew Dalhouse, Dave Lanphear, Stephen Segovia

“BLOODSHOT ISLAND” sails into the sunset with a sanguine-stained epilogue!
Ray Garrison and a battered team of survivors have made their escape from BLOODSHOT ISLAND…only to drift straight into shark-infested waters! Marooned in the middle of the Pacific Ocean with no defenses except the relentless will to survive, will the highly trained team of killers aboard this life raft band together…or throw each other to the prehistoric predators below? And, if they don’t kill each other first, will Mother Nature finish the job?
As “BLOODSHOT U.S.A” looms just over the horizon, get ready to sink or swim as New York Times best-selling writer Jeff Lemire and blockbuster rising star Tomas Giorello (4001 A.D.: WAR MOTHER) toss Valiant’s unstoppable powerhouse into the deep end!

CAGE! #1 – $3.99

Marvel Comics – Genndy Tartakovsky, Stephen DeStefano, Scott Wills

From the Award-Winning creator of Dexter’s Laboratory, Samurai Jack and Hotel Transylvania! On the mean streets of Harlem, shoes are big, shirts are large, bottoms are belled and crime is rampant! But in the heart of the city, the world’s hardest-working, smack-talking, chain-wearing super hero is on the street and on the case! And his rates are reasonable! He’s CAGE! and he’ll save your behind. Dig it!

Moonshine #1 – $2.99

Image Comics – Brian Azzarello, Eduardo Risso

Set during Prohibition, and deep in the backwoods of Appalachia, MOONSHINE #1 tells the story of Lou Pirlo, a city-slick “torpedo” sent from New York City to negotiate a deal with the best moonshiner in West Virginia, one Hiram Holt. What Lou doesn’t figure on is that Holt is just as cunning and ruthless as any NYC crime boss. Because not only will Holt do anything to protect his illicit booze operation, he’ll stop at nothing to protect a much darker family secret…a bloody, supernatural secret that must never see the light of day… or better still, the light of the full moon.
MOONSHINE #1 marks the first time AZZARELLO and RISSO have worked together for Image Comics and reunites the Eisner Award winning creative team that defined modern crime comics with 100 Bullets… and now puts a horror-twist on a classic gangster tale. Issue #1 features a variant cover by legendary comics creator, Frank Miller!

Midnighter & Apollo #1 – $3.99

DC Comics – Steve Orlando, Fernando Blanco, ACO

You wanted it? You got it-six more issues of Midnighter madness! Together again after too long apart, Midnighter and Apollo take on subway pirates in Los Angeles and demons in Opal City…but their reunion is about to take a shocking turn and send them both on an epic journey beyond all belief!

Shipwreck #1 – $3.99

Aftershock Comics – Warren Ellis, Phil Hester, Eric Gapstur, Mark Englert

Dr Jonathan Shipwright, sole survivor of a very unusual and very secret shipwreck, doesn’t know where he is. Seemingly trapped on an endless road, in pursuit of a saboteur who holds the key to his salvation — or doom. Industry legend WARREN ELLIS joins AfterShock comics with this mysterious and captivating tale full of shock, secrets and surprises.
