WCBR’s Top Picks

Kyle’s Top Picks

Best of the Past Week: Secret Warriors #6 – Incredible artwork, fantastic dialogue, and plot twists that hook like none other…Secret Warriors is without a doubt the best thing to come out of that whole Secret Invasion thing.

Most Anticipated: Pax Romana TPB and Invincible Iron Man #16 (Tie) – I’ve heard nothing but good things about Jonathan Hickman’s Pax Romana so it easily gets a spot in the “Most Anticipated” column.  Invincible Iron Man scores a spot because the thrilling “World’s Most Wanted” arc has yet to let me down.

Other Top Picks: Hack/Slash #24, Exiles #5 (you will be missed), Agents of Atlas #9, Destroyer #5, Wednesday Comics

Rob G’s Top Picks

Pick of the Week: Detective Comics #855- Good story with great character and great, great art. Williams has replaced Quietley, in my opinion, as being the best artist on a book right now.

Most Anticipated: War of Kings #6 – The conclusion of what has been the best event of the year and one of the best comics on the stands every month.

Other Picks: AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #601; CAPTAIN AMERICA REBORN #2; DESTROYER #5; HULK #13; INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #16; IRREDEEMABLE #5; RED CIRCLE THE HANGMAN #1; THE GOOD THE BAD & THE UGLY #2; WAR OF KINGS WARRIORS #2; WEDNESDAY COMICS #5

Tony’s Picks

Best of the Past Week: Iron Man vol 2: World’s Most Wanted HC – I am just amazed at how this continues to be one of the finest monthly comics being produced right now.  Riding high off the incredibly dull event storyline that is “Dark Reign”, Fraction severely depowers Stark, alienates him from everything and everyone he ever cared about, and gives him a fascinating new villain in the form of Norman Osborn.  Strongly recommended.

Most Anticipated for this Week: Although I am looking forward to seeing what Warren Ellis’s original graphic novel Frankenstein’s Womb has to offer, I’m most excited to get my hands on Agents of Atlas vol 1, another title that has managed to delight and entertain with every issue.

Other Top Picks: Wednesday Comics #5, Doom Patrol #1

Alex’s Top Picks

Best of the Week: Northlanders #19 – One of the best comics on the stands, the Shield Maidens two-parter has been absolutely fantastic.  Blending real world history with myth in a way that feels entirely fresh and uniquely whole, this is great stuff.

Most Anticipated: Agents of Atlas #9 – Agents of Atlas has been at its best when pursuing their own distinct, fringe storylines and I expect that trend to continue this issue.  No Avengers, no Captain America, just kooky, retro action.

Other Picks: Captain America: Reborn #2, Greek Street #2, The Destroyer #5
