5 Comics to Pick up this Week (07/17/19)

Loki #1

Marvel Comics
(Wr) Daniel Kibblesmith (CA) Ozgur Yildirim
*Spoiler Alert*
Loki died in War of the Realms, and now he is BACK. This mischievous, handsome troublemaker returns with a whole new set of responsibilities, and Thor is not letting him weasel his way out of them. This story looks like it is going to be — if not hilarious — at least strongly entertaining. I am very excited to scoop it up this week!

Silver Surfer Black #2 (OF 5)

Marvel Comics
(Wr) Donny Cates (A/CA) Tradd Moore
The first issue of this series was AMAZING. Though the artwork was a bit of a throw-off, the story trumped the awkwardness of some of the panels and spreads. I know there will be similar artwork in this second issue, but this story is a MUST HAVE in every comic fan’s collection.

Resonant #1

Vault Comics
(Wr) David Andry (A/CA) Alejandro Aragon
This is post-apocalyptic, dark, and suspenseful tale of a family being torn apart and desperately fighting to reunite against all odds. This looks like an emotional (and possibly pretty predictable) story about the importance of fighting for the ones we love.

Blade Runner 2019 #1

Titan Comics
(Wr) Michael Green, Mike Johnson (A) Andres Guinaldo (CA) Artgerm, Stanley Lau
Set in “present day” Neo-Noir Los Angeles, issue one tells the story of Ash, a veteran Blade Runner on a mission to find a billionaire’s wife and child who were kidnapped to be used for “dark purposes.” I have never taken the plunge into any Blade Runner story, so I’m picking up this canon story to dip my toes into this dark and mysterious world.

Collapser #1 (OF 6)

DC Comics
(Wr) Mikey Way, Shaun Simon (A/CA)  Ilias Kyriazis
Our main character, Liam James gets sent a…black hole…in the mail…and he gets superpowers from it… totally normal. I have no idea what to say about this comic, but I am both bewildered and intrigued. I feel compelled to pick this comic up this week to figure out how in the HECK someone sends a black hole in the mail, but that’s the world of comics, folks! BUCKLE UP!
