Batman #35
Written by: Scott Snyder
Art by: Greg Capullo
After just finishing off a major storyline in the form of Zero Year, Snyder & Capullo are at it again with Endgame. I much prefer big arcs than small one-shots or two issue stories so for me this is another story I am looking forward to. What makes it so unique in my opinion is that I and nobody has any clue what it is about. However, with this creative team, I am sure there will be no disappointment.
Amazing Spider-Man #7
Written by: Dan Slott
Art by: Giuseppe Camuncoli
It seems as though there have been many starts to the Spider-Verse Event which is about to take over in ASM. We have had numerous prelude issues, nearly at the end of an anthology mini-series, and now we are treated to more Edge of Spider-Verse. At some point Spider-Verse may actually start for real. Anyway, this issue sees the team up of Ms Marvel and Spider-Man, which is bound to be a hoot. Ms Marvel has been knocking it out the park issue after issue thus far, and now we get to see Slott’s take on the character which I am sure will have some people up in arms. Either way, I am in.
Wytches #1

Another Scott Snyder book to look forward to this week. We have read it, it is superb, and one we definitely think you need to pick up. This issue has everything you want from a supernatural genre book about witches, it is chilling to the core and looks incredible thanks to Jock. Check out our full early review here
Birthright #1
Written by: Joshua Williamson
Art by: Andrei Bressan

Joshua Williamson has been hitting it out the park at the moment with everything he is writing turning to gold. Nailbiter and Ghosted are two of my favourite books right now on the shelves and this new series looks like it is going to be right up there. What’s it about? Well it initially revolves around the disappearance of a young child that returns, but what happens next is not what you would expect and this issue is filled with twists. Its just awesome, and has tremendous art from Bressan too.
Copperhead #2
Written by: Jay Faerber
Art by: Scott Godlewski

There is a killer on the loose. There is so much to say about Copperhead that will hopefully make you want to buy it. Here are a few buzz words. Action, Murder, Fun, Suspense, a Talking Dog Thing. Say What!!! Yes! Copperhead sees the journey of Sheriff Clara Bronson and Deputy Boo who are investigating a series of homicides which have come to town. And oh no the fun don’t end there, there is also all sorts of crazy stuff going on with the supporting cast to, you can check out our full review of the newest issue here
