Comic Picks of the Week - 21st October

Its time for more comic picks of the week - and this time as I choose my selections I am London bound for my flight to Los Angeles as I head out to catch up with friends and also partake in the 'Were Going Back' celebrations.

Those of you who are regular readers of my post will know I'm a massive fan of the Back to the Future Trilogy and this coming week on Wednesday 21st October marks the point that Marty and Doc travel to 2015 or 'Future Day' as it's become known.

On this day I will be at Universal Studios taking part in the organised celebrations - so no trips to the comic book store for me! I'm all about the pre-order!

It's set to be a fantastic week - and fittingly one of the selections this week is BTTF related.

So here we go again - here are this weeks comic picks......

Back to the Future #1

It will come as no surprise to you that this weeks first pick is Back to the Future related.

A few months back when news that this series was to be released we posted about it and now the time has come for us to get new stories from the BTTF world.

In this first issue we get to learn about how Marty and Doc first met - a question many fans of the film have pondered.

With Bob Gale being involved this is set to add an extra dimension to the characters we love - and I for one can't wait to read this.

There are a host of covers for this book - normally I'd link to just the one - but this time round I'm feeling inspired to post all that Forbidden Planet are offering!

One to pick up for the read no doubt - and with it having an October 21st release date it's a perfect tribute to the greatest trilogy of all time!

Back to the Future #1

Back to the Future #1 Blank Sketch Cover

Back to the Future #1 Sub B Cover

Back to the Future #1 MCM Variant

Back to the Future #1 Forbidden Planet JetPack Variant

Back to the Future #1 Your Store Variant

If I had to choose one to get it would be the regular cover - only as it looks epic!

Astonishing Ant-Man #1 Hip Hop Variant

Another week - another batch of Hip Hop covers to choose from.

The pick of the bunch for me this week pays homage to the Notorious BIG 'ready to die' album cover with Ant-Man getting taking over and the tag line 'ready to shrink'

These covers are proving massively popular and this will no doubt follow on the same path.

Grab this one here below -

Astonishing Ant-Man #1 Hip Hop Variant

Sunflower #1

The last of our picks this week comes from 451 media group in the form of Sunflower.

There is already a ton of buzz on this book with a story line synopsis you feel could be picked up and turned into a movie at any time.

'Ten years ago CJ's husband and nine year-old daughter were murdered off a desert highway near the California/Arizona border.

Since that day, CJ can only feel two things - paralysing shame for not being with her family and quiet fury that the perpetrators were never found. CJ should have been there to defend her family. And, in the decade since, she might as well have been dead. Until the day a letter arrives. There's no return address, only one word in the letter. It simply reads: Sunflower.

CJ's daughter is alive - and now so is CJ. And she will stop at nothing to get her daughter back.'

Sounds a fantastic comic - and it's set to be the hot book of the week!
