What a week for comic book fans. I have so many favorites I’m expanding from 5 to a top 10 new comic book picks for this week:

 

Deadly Class #2 High school is already hell but imagine a high school for students trying to master deadly arts? Rick Remender and Wesley Craig’s twisted Image series takes us on a new kid’s first day where cutting class could get your killed.

Fox is injecting youth into its Fantastic Four reboot. Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Bell are reportedly the studio’s choices for Reed, Sue, Johnny and Ben.

If you look at Matt Smith’s first Doctor Who episode The Eleventh Hour you can see his shyness and vulnerability when asking Amy Pond to be his companion for adventures in time and space. I could easily see Smith as Reed Richards trying Continue reading From DOCTOR WHO to FANTASTIC FOUR?
