America #1 Soaring out of Young Avengers and Ultimates, America Chavez in her own new book by Gabby Rivera and Joe Quinones. She leads Marvel’s pro-active super team and can punch through realities but can she get her personal life together? The breakthrough hero gets her shot at a title book.

Riverdale #1 From Archie Comics to hit new CW show. This collection of four stories is perfect for fans of both. Archie’s scandalous summer fling, Betty’s mystery romance, Veronica’s New York City secrets, Jughead’s secret and the death of Jason – what happened before the fateful first episode. Written by series writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa with artist Alitha Martinez.

Doctor Who: The Pirate Planet For sentimental reasons! This was the first episode of Doctor Who I ever saw. Legendary sci-fi writer Douglas Adams penned this adventure in time and space. The Doctor and Romana (as played by Tom Baker and Mary Tamm) with K-9 are tasked with finding six segments that will join to make the Key to Time. The Time Lords arrive in the right point in space and time but the wrong planet. The Doctor soon discovers the shocking secret of Calufrax and it’s mysterious Captain/leader.
