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. In a somewhat quiet week there is certainly one stand out book - but a couple of others worth picking up.  Suicide Squad #16 Cover B Bermejo Cover So without a doubt the book to keep an eye out for this week is the Bermejo Suicide Squad #16 variant. The cover on this is immense with a nod to the iconic Batman: Harley Quinn / Joker One Shot Cover - it looks that good it makes it the pick of the week instantly. Expect this one to vanish quickly. Grab your copy on the link below - Suicide Squad #16 Bermejo Variant Cover  Savage Dragon #223 April Fools Cover This is the second week in a row that an Image April Fools cover has featured in Picks of the Week and this week the pick comes in the form of a cover by Jock! This book makes the picks on that fact alone and whilst it might not be too hard to track down it's a certainly one to own. Grab your copy on the link below - Savage Dragon #223 April Fools Variant Cover  Namwolf #1 (Powell Cover) Our final pick this week goes to the latest title from Albatross Funnybooks. We've already seen the success that Hillbilly brought and this new #1 is well worth a look at. We've chosen yet another variant on this one also with the Eric Powell cover being our pick. It should prove a popular title and the storyline (discovering your a werewolf in the Vietnam war) sounds like a cracker! Grab your copy on the link below - Namwolf #1 So there you have it - comic picks done!
Until next time - Happy Comic Book 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. This week sees a new image title, a long awaited DC cover, a couple of interesting variants and a new release from a hot indie publisher all feature on our list.  Redneck #1 If there is one thing the last 12 months has proven it's that Image sure can pick fantastic titles. Seven to Eternity, Reborn and God Country are all proof of that. The synopsis for their latest title Redneck would suggest that they might have another hit on their hands. Set around vampires who run the local barbecue joint in their small town and live off cows blood the peaceful coexistence they have been living in ends as generations of hate, fear and bad blood bubble to the surface. Written by Donny Cates (also the writer of God Country) this should be a book on your pick up list this week. Grab your copy below - Redneck #1  Failsafe #1 The hot indie publisher of the year has been Vault Comics. With Powerless and Heathen being the standout titles for this publisher so far this week sees the release of Failsafe. Vault Comics print numbers haven't been huge so this book should be in demand before it's even on the shelves. Grab your copy below - Failsafe #1  Batman #21 (The Button Lenticular Variant Edition) It feels like this cover has been a long time coming since first being shown months ago. We'd expect this to be one of the most popular titles this week - but also a book with a huge print run to boot. With the Watchmen link and the mystery surrounding a certain blood-stained smiley embedded in the Bat-cave wall this should be a good read as well as a stand out cover. Grab your copy on the link below - Batman #21 (The Button Lenticular Variant Edition)  Invincible #135 (April Fools Variant) Unless you've avoided comic book news the last few weeks you'll be sure to know the latest title to be given a nod for translation onto the big screen is Invincible. Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg (who already have comic based adaption experience with the Preacher TV show) are set to work with Robert Kirkman (of Walking Dead and Outcast) to produce the Invincible movie. When news of this broke key Invincible back issues were snapped up in stores and online. The title which has been ongoing since 2003 is set to end in 9 issues time with #144 but expect interest to be heightened in the remainder of the releases especially with the movie news. Our pick this week is the variant April fools cover which is a clear Spider-Gwen parody. We'd mark this as an outside bet however it's a cool variant cover but one worth keeping an eye on. Grab your copy on the link below - Invincible #135 (April Fools Variant)  Ms Marvel #17 (Kubert Resurrxion Variant) Our final pick of the week is a Marvel variant. The Ms Marvel #17 Kubert variant to be exact. It goes without saying X-23 is one of the rising Marvel stars of today and this cover is going to appeal to fans of hers without a doubt. Down the line it might be one to keep an eye on also especially if she continues her rise in the Marvel Universe and gains even more fans. Grab your copy on the link below - Ms Marvel #17 (Kubert Resurrxion Variant) Certainly an interesting week that's for sure. Let us know what's on your radar in the comments.
Happy Comic Book 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.  Seven to Eternity #5 First up this week is Seven to Eternity #5. Seven to Eternity has been a hot comic since its launch. Whilst more readily available to get hold of now compared to the early issues this will still be on plenty of people's lists to pick up. This week we get to choose from 3 different covers. Our choice is the Noto variant. Pick up your copy below - Seven to Eternity #5  HeaThen #3Vault Comics have had a hit on their hands with Heathen - and this week sees issue #3 of the title released.

Already sold out in several online stores this book has the synopsis 'Spawn comes face-to-face with one of his BIGGEST mortal enemies' Grab your copy below - Spawn #272  Rose #1Last up this week comes Rose #1 - a new debut Image title. We've seen some of these new titles really catch on - others not so much. This is one to keep an eye on as it could heat up quick if the demand is there. We will be checking it out either way as some of these fantasy titles have been fantastic! Rose #1 There we have it - another week of picks. Happy Comic Hunting.
 If you are quick you have the opportunity to grab a first print of one of the hottest books of the last few months -
Heathen #1 This title from Vault Comics is currently back in stock on Forbidden Planet and is likely to sell out fast. This book is set for its second printing release on 12th April. Grab your copy on the link below - Heathen #1 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. This week has a good selection of books to look at - our personal favourites are below.....  All-New Wolverine #19 Leonard Kirk Variant Cover First up this week comes what is likely to be a book on lots of people's want lists. A standout cover and pre sale hype will only further add to this being one to track down. The All-New Wolverine series is a book with several in demand regular and variant issues that are performing well on the secondary market and issue #19's variant covers seem set to continue that trend. Grab your copy below - All New Wolverine #19  Riverdale #1 Riverdale has become a must see TV hit and news that a second series has been commissioned has cemented the proof that the world of Archie has gained a whole new fanbase. This week sees the release of Riverdale #1 - set in the universe of the TV series this book will offer a bold, subversive take on Archie & Co. What's going to be interesting with this title is to see if it follows the show or if it throws up new storylines / characters that we might see on TV down the line. Grab your copy below - Riverdale #1  Walking Dead #166 We seem to say this every month - but it's true - you can't go wrong with the Walking Dead. With season 7 of the TV show finishing we now have to wait till October for the next instalment of that. Things are really heating up in the comic series now and it's all set to explode once again - the saviours are back..... Every issue holds potential for key incidents, new characters and possible deaths. Pick up your copy below - Walking Dead #166 So there we have it - Picks of the Week are up..... Happy Comic Hunting.
