Comic Picks of the Week - 27th January

So it's back to business after a weeks break with the comic picks - did you miss us?
It's been an interesting start to 2016 with variants seemingly leading the way in terms of the hot picks - Walking Dead, Captain Marvel and Silk all being the 'must gets' to name just a few some of the stand out variant books to find!
On paper this doesn't seem to be the strongest week for selections - however there are a few books we certainly give the nod to in both reading and speculating terms.
So - here we are once again - its Comic Picks of the Week time!!

Old Man Logan #1

Kicking things off this week comes a Marvel title that is worth picking up for the read and for the speculation in years to come - Old Man Logan.

Logan as in Wolverine Logan I am sure your thinking - yes - that Logan! 

Want some synopsis - no problem -
'Fifty years from now, Logan – the man who no longer calls himself Wolverine – will have endured many atrocities: The Marvel Universe’s villains will have banded together and rid the world of its heroes.
Logan’s closest friend, Hawkeye, will have been murdered in cold blood right before his eyes. And driven mad by the same radiation that gave him his superhuman strength, Bruce Banner will have fathered a family of hillbilly Hulks…that eventually went on to slaughter Logan’s wife and two children. But now, in the present, Old Man Logan wakes up to discover himself in a world before these atrocities, before the Wasteland. And he’s going to seize this opportunity and change history to ensure that his future never comes to pass…'

Sounds good eh? Well now is the perfect time to pick this up as its issue 1 - and this has movie potential written all over it!

Oh - and incase your wondering there are a selection of variants you can grab too!

Hip Hop Family Tree #6

This is a book that seems to continually feature in the Comic Picks of the Week - and there is every reason for it! Firstly its a great read, secondly we LOVE the art work in it, finally its in development for an animated series.

So you win on all counts - you get a great read - and its something you'll be seeing on TV somewhere down the line - and when all others are scrambling to find back issues you'll already have them!

This issue breaks down the first Hip Hop Movie 'Wild Style' with Ed Piskor highlighting the people, places and events that made it a cult classic.

Six #3

Last - but by no means least comes the latest issue of the Six - the fantastic story from 451 Media. This series is another that screams movie potential (there is no denying that 451 have a great selection of books out right now - you can picture them all on the big screen as you read them)

In this issue -
​
'It’s time to get the gang back together'
'The thing about reunion tours though, sometimes the band is a bit rusty and takes a while for everyone to get back in rhythm. Old memories of past tours comes up, old wounds. Some have healed all the way, others still bleed when scratched. But when that symphony of machine gun fire finds its rhythm again, the audience won’t know what hit them'

If you can find issues 1 & 2 in stores make sure you pick them up and give them a read - you won't be disappointed!

This book can be ordered below -
