Geeking 4 Everyone's top picks of the week (9-18-13)

There are so many great new titles that come out every week that it makes it so tough to choose.  But each week we will be choosing 10 titles that are our top picks, and we will also be giving a short description of the comic.  Our intent is not to reveal anything but a summary of what the book may be about, but if you don't want to know anything then don't read any further.  Our weekly reviews will be more designed to actually discuss the book with more spoilers, the purpose in these weekly blogs is to recommend books to our fans, and let you know what is on our list for the week (which we will also release every Wednesday).  We love to hear all input from our fans so please don't hesitate to let us know how you like any of the books recommended, or if you have any questions.  The picks are always done alphabetically so these picks are not numbered from first choice to last choice only the top 10 that we choose to purchase for the week.  We also like to pick one children's book so parents out there know what to get for their child. There are so many exciting things going on this month for comics.  DC Comics is doing a Villains month for the whole month of September, there will be special villains issues that we are excited for.  The issues will also have variant covers that will be available in 3D.  Pull your comics fast, and please keep in mind your comic book retailer cannot control how many they get of this issue so please be patient and remember there are no guarantees. We had an awesome time last week at Mile High Comics Woodchuckpalooza and picked up some great items that we can't wait to review.  For those of you that could not make it the 50% codeword: HALF PRICE is still in effect until Monday. Also there are great giveaways this week for online orders.  As of now they still have left the Star Wars Lucas Draft #1, The Avengers, Spiderman, and many more.  This is an awesome deal and you only have 48 hours to place your order.  Make sure to use the HALFPRICE codeword in the discounts and also indicate which book you want for free.  For the details on the books look on Mile High's website in the newsletter section.  If this isn't an awesome deal I don't know what is.  Please keep in mind with the free comics its first come, first serve so get them fast before the one you want is gone.  This month is especially important to pull your comics fast, with all the amazing deals and also with Villains month.  Next month there will be some exciting Halloween issues coming out, so don't forget to read our weekly picks to find out which ones you should get.  Here's our top ten for the week:


Batman The Dark Knight 23.3 Clayface:  Of course we are continuing on with our Villain's week Batman collection and picking up another Dark Knight book.  It has been a while since we have read one with Clayface in it so we are excited for this weeks book and curious to see what Clayface is going to do in this book.  In this weeks book, Clayface tried to impress The Secret Society.  Clayface makes a plan this time to reek more havok than ever.  Will Clayface succeed or will his plan backfire?  Will anyone be able to stop Clayface before its too late?




Detective Comics #23.3 Scarecrow:  Another book that we are excited to add to our Villains Month collection.  We thoroughly enjoyed the Detective Comics book from last week and we are excited for the plot and excitement in this weeks book. In this book, Scarecrow unleases on Gotham like and we also may see some other villains in this issue.  What havoc will Scarecrow unleash on Gotham?  What other Villains will we see in this issue? 





Doctor Who Volume 3 #13:  We love Doctor Who, is there anyone that doesn't?  Just about every weekwhen there is a Doctor Who book we try and pick it up.  In this weeks book, The Doctor and Clara run into Calamity Jane and Oscar Wilde as they visit the town of Deadwood to attend Wild Bills grave from his recent passing.  But, when they get to Deadwood they discover that the grave is empty and that the town is being taken over by a maked man that shoots out of only his finger.  Who could this masked man be?  Will Clara and The Doctor be able to save Deadwood and figure out what happened to Wild Bills body?  Also, there is a Doctor Who Classics being released this week for all you Doctor Who geeks.



Infinity #3 (of 6):  This has been another book that we have been enjoying lately, and there is a great deal with this weeks book that we have for you.  This week, Mile High Comics is giving away this issue with online orders.  For a $30 order you can get this one for free, and for a $50 order you can get the variant cover of this book for free.  And let's not forget the awesome codeword sale at 50% off.  All three of these deals are ones that you will not want to miss.  Remember these books will go fast so order quick, for more information check Mile High Comics Website under the newsletter section.   In this weeks book, there is a Prison Break and you can expect lots of action.  What else will happen in this weeks book?




Kids Pick of the Week: Adventure Time #  Adventure Time is a great series for kids, and even the adults love it too!!!  Not only do your kids learn by reading an educational book, but the book also has hands on learning to make your child interested in the topic. In this weeks book, Jake and Finn finish the adventure in the Ice King's Dungeon.  What excitment will be on their final Dungeon adventure?  For the older kids, please check out Bravest warrior this is a good series for the older ones.  .




New Avengers #10:   The new Avengers is also something that we have been getting into.  This series haskept our attention well and kept our excitement for the next book.  In this weeks book there are some brutal and inhumane secrets arise with the ambition of Thanos.  And if that's not enough excitement for you the battle of the Earth also continues.  What discoveries will we find out with Thanos and how much damage will be caused?  Who will win the Battle of the Earth?




Superior Spiderman #18:  We have been getting into this series lately and every week there has been a book released we pick it up.  In this weeks book, Superior Spiderman and Spiderman 2099 have an ultimate battle.  Peter Parker is more frazzled than normal with the labs being shut down and the possibility of losing years of precious inventions.  Who will win this battle?  What other exciting things will we discover about Superior Spiderman this week?  What will happen with all the labs being shut down, and will it get fixed?  What important things will be lost in the lab?



 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles The Animated Adventures #3:  We were not always completely crazy over the new design of the Ninja turtles from growing up in the 80's.  But ever since the first issue of this series was released at SDCC we decided to give it a chance.  We have been enjoying it so far, so we are going to continue with our collection and pick up this weeks book.  We all love zombies, and what better way than to have TMNT with zombies?  In this weeks books Mikey gets a little too freaked out by watching too many zombie movies.  Then the people of New York start to act a bit like zombies and a little mindless, and Mikey has to face his fears to save the day.  Will the brother believe Mikey or will he have to fight the zombies all on his own?  Will Mikey and or the brothers be able to save the day?  Sounds like a situation of the Mikey who cried Zombies.



 Uncanny X-Men #12:  This has been a series that we have been enjoying and try to pick one up every week.  We have been extremely hooked with this series and have been pleased with the action, art, and storyline in this series.  We don't want to give away too much information without spoiling the previous books, but with many exciting crossovers from the last book we are excited to see what crossovers they have in store for us this week. What crossovers will we see next?  What will happen in this next battle?




Zero #1:  Edward Zero is a spy who bends the rules to save the world.  He solves one thing at a time in a very quick and efficient manner.  Starting out the series this week Zero finds complications with an unknown device and he must figure out how to get it back, but the only problem is this device is inside of a terrorist.  Will Zero be able to recover the device before its too late?  What other exciting details will we find out about Zero?
