Ultramega #1 is a bloated feast of grime and bile, but deep within its filth is a beautiful story about hope and commitment. Any fan of horror especially body or kaiju horror should make this a must read.

DC Horror Presents - Soul Plumber #1 is a combination of early 90's Vertigo Comics blasphemy and Troma Entertainment "bad taste," cooked inside a home-built pressure cooker and released onto an unsuspecting public.

Deep Beyond #1 is a fantastic mystery story in a futuristic outfit. This is a series I would recommend to almost anyone.

Home Sick Pilots #1 is the perfect blend of punk and horror. It sticks true to the voice of both areas of subject matter, and I am excited to see where it takes us.

King In Black #1 is the wailing, heavy metal riff we have been building up to. Like a stack of SUNN0))) amplifiers, it blows me a way into reverberating bliss.

Masterful, clean, and attention grabbing. Miles To Go #1 seems like the perfect thriller to usher in the Fall, and I encourage any fan of Crime (with that big ol C) stories to pick this series up before it takes off.

If bad taste is something you crave, make sure you get it from someone with Good Taste. The Scumbag is good-bad taste to the fullest extent.

Knock Em Dead #1 starts off a little underwhelming plot wise, but sets up for a hopefully interesting comic accompanied by fantastic art.

Monstress: Talk Stories is both a fantastic spin-off as it is an entry into this team's work.

Moon Knight #1 is a strong and well-paced start for a new direction for the character, one that is almost an ideal access point for readers who have never read a Moon Knight book.

Red Atlantis #1 taps into the stress and fear many of us feel around this election cycle, and it does so in an engaging way that makes sharing said fear cathartic.

Scarenthood delivers some good old-fashioned horror comic with a perfect new school twist.

 The Recount #1 has the potential to be our generation's exploration of Authority and Extremism, but we will have to wait for future issues to find out.

Apache Delivery Service #1 breathes new life into the "horrors of war" storyline, but it is too soon to tell if it will stay as fresh as the story insists.

Godzilla: Monsters & Protectors #1 is a fun romp through the monster's identity. While it may be directed towards younger readers, any fan of Godzilla will enjoy seeing the monster in action.

With hot action, quirky characters, and a Thomas Pynchon-level conspiracy, Hollywood Trash may be worth adding to this week's shopping list for everyone.

King Spawn #1 starts off fast, and grows its universe even faster. While existing SPAWN fans will love the new edition to the universe, it may not be the best jumping in point for people looking to dive into the series.

River of Sin is a fun little read that carries on the spirit of silver-age horror comics.

Sam and His Talking Gun is a fantastic and hilarious action romp. I would recommend any fan of run-and-gun action to grab a copy of Issue #1.

The Me You Love In The Dark #1 sets up an interesting premise about fear, art, ambition, and loneliness.

Concrete Jungle is in your face and unapologetic, brought to life by some of the best art and lettering I have read this year. If you have the stomach for a bizarre, loose cannon cop on the edge butting heads with their rookie partner, then I'd say this story is for you.

Gunslinger Spawn #1 is an underwhelming addition to the overall Spawn Universe, so fans, and new readers alike, may find this first issue to be more sluggish than a typical Spawn book.

It is too early to judge the story of Sympathy For No Devils, but there is enough fantastic art and mystery to make this first issue worth a read.

The Scorched #1 is unapologetically a Spawn Universe comic, but its attempt at being a rewarding team-up title on its own merits falls somewhat flat. Luckily, as always, the high-quality art is there to save the day.
