This week is packed with incredible super hero books from DC and Marvel so I’d like to make this week’s Top 5 picks a salute to other books that might be under your radar!

 

Fatale #15 A new arc begins in this crime noir horror monster of a book by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips. Josephine has been haunted by her powers and supernatural forces throughout the decades. The new arc is set in the modern day but old enemies are back to stalk Fatale!

 

Hawkeye #11 Wait, you say – Hawkeye is an Avenger – this can’t count. This is Matt Fraction’s incredible book about Clint Barton when he’s not on duty with Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and in this special issue the spotlight is on  – the Pizza Dog!?

 

Jupiter’s Legacy #2 Mark Millar and Frank Quitely’s beautiful epic of a war between generations of superheroes continues. Stunning!

 

The Massive #13 Brian Wood’s gripping story of pacifists trying to survive in a ruthless new era. In a post-apocalyptic world a crew of survivors sails the dangerous oceans in search of their sister ship and crew. The trail is dead. The crew arrive in the post-Crash New York City. This is a chilling story of a near-future world and questions how would humanity adapt and survive.

 

The Wake #2 Scott Snyder and Sean Murphy’s hybrid of science fiction and horror! An underwater oil rig becomes a tomb of terror for a team of scientists – what did they find? Are these aliens, zombies, or something even more new and terrifying?
