 This could be something - or this could be nothing however in the last few issues of the Walking Dead we've been seeing glimpses of a Savior by the name of John - and the eagle eyed of you out there will no doubt have noticed he's been popping up on the covers for future issues. To avoid any spoilers we'd encourage you to check out the Whiperer War Arc however it seems like John is set for a little bit of involvement.....  As you will see from Issue #165 (above) and Issue #166 (below) John gets 2 x cover appearances.  Whether this is the only spot we will see him on or if there is something bigger behind this only time will tell - however he's got the look of a Walking Dead antagonist about him that's for sure. The question however is what's his first appearance. The answer to that is Issue #104.  His appearances are limited right now but he's one to keep a watch on incase there is future development for him.

A fantastic looking cover expect this to be one of the hot books for this week. Pick up your copy on the link below whist you still can - Death of Hawkman #6 Bill Sienkiewicz Variant  Walking Dead #165 The Walking Dead comic book is very much a staple pick each month. With every issue you get a potential first appearance, a potential death or something that could potentially feature in the TV show. Even if none of the above happen you still have a great read! This issue is entitled 'Opportunity' - and it looks that the Saviours are set to strike! Pick up your copy below - Walking Dead #165  America #1 McKelvie Variant Cover We did a feature a little while back highlighting 'Future Stars of the Comic Book World' and one of these was Miss America Chavez. Check out that article below - Miss America Future Stars The time has come for the own solo series and the book to grab and hold onto for down the line is the McKelvie Variant Cover. Expect this one to be the tougher to find. Regular covers might be worth storing away for down the line also.  Extremity #1 A new Image title which as previous weeks have shown could lead to an in demand hot book. This title is set around Thea who seeks revenge on the clan that ruined her family. Keep an eye on this one as if it proves popular this could potentially vanish quickly.

What's everyone else after this week? With so many books hitting the shelves every week we take a look at what we consider to be the 'Picks of the Week' whether it be for speculation, a good read or both.  Spider-Gwen #17 (Jusko Corner Box Variant)Last week we chose the Venom cover as a pick of the Week - this time round its Spider-Gwen who gets the nod from us. All of these Variants should be a good shout for down the line but something jumps out at us for this one. It's already sold out with some stores so keep on eye for this one to potentially move. Grab your copy on the link below - Spider-Gwen #17 (Jusko Corner Box Variant)  Curse Words #2Last month Image had another hit on their hands with the fantastic 'Curse Words' - a book that ended up having a selection of #1 covers (the most tricky to find being the glitter cat variant) Issue #2 hits the shelves this week with 3 covers to choose from.

Old Guard #1 Its an Image #1 - we know the current run on those and how quickly demand comes in. Quantum Teens are Go #1 A new series from Black Mask who now seem to be releasing books in good time - might be worth taking a look at. So there we go for another week..... Happy Comic Hunting! With so many books hitting the shelves every week we take a look at what we consider to be the 'Picks of the Week' whether it be for speculation, a good read or both.  God Country #2 (Image Tribute Variant Cover) God Country #1 was an instant hit for Image last month - and issue #2 looks set to continue that trend. With 3 covers to choose from this time round we are going to pick the Savage Dragon tribute variant cover as our pick. It will be interesting to see how this book does but at the moment all signs point towards another win for Image. Grab your copy on the link below - God Country #2  Super Sons #1 The Sons of Batman and Superman have graduated into their own comic as the latest title from DC is launched. You may have seen earlier this week that we noted Damian Wayne and Jon Kent as ones to watch and we are excited to see them in their own title. This book has potential first appearances in it and despite what is likely to be a high print run this is one to pick up. Grab your copy on the link below - Super Sons #1  Venom #4 (Jusko Corner Box Cover) We highlighted this as 'one to watch' last week and now we are putting it in the picks of the week. The Deadpool Corner Box Variant was a good pick 2 weeks ago and this one has the potential to outshine that. It's a great looking cover. Expect this to be on plenty of want lists. Grab your copy on the link below. Venom #4 So there we have it - picks of the week for February 15th set.
What's everyone else picking up - let us know in the comments below. There are a whole mix of comic book characters out there right now that have potential to explode and become the 'next big thing'. In a new series of articles we take a look at some of these future stars and highlight some of the key issues they feature in. This time round we have a look at one of the rising stars of the Star Wars Universe : Doctor Aphra.  Doctor AphraDoctor Aphra seems to be popping up everywhere presently - and with her featuring in games and her own solo series you have to imagine a big screen debut might be just around the corner. Her first appearance in Darth Vader #3 (cover above) is now well documented. This is a book to be grabbing if you can find it cheap as there are copies to be had out there at cover. There is also a 1:25 variant (below) not to be missed if it comes in at the right price as that is much scarcer.  Her own solo series is also one to keep an eye on with a vast array of #1 covers including this stunning Legends Comics / Brain Trust Ashley Witter variant.  Expect Aphra to be around for some time to come - her star is only just beginning to rise!
