Geeking 4 Everyone's Weekly Comic Picks (10-22-13)

Every week we like to give our fans a weekly recommendation list of our top choices for the week. Our intention is not to give away any spoilers, only a summary of what the book is about.  We like to give our top ten plus a Children's book so you know what to pick up for your little ones. This week we tried to suggest as many Halloween books as we could with Halloween in a week.  Here's our top ten for the week:





Beware The Batman #1:  This is a brand new Batman series for all ages, and we always try and pick up the first of a new Batman series when it comes out.  In this brand new series, Bruce Wayne has been learning fighting skills from Alfred for years, and now its time to take down Gotham's criminal underground as his new role as Batman.  Will he be able to do it?  What trouble could Batman run into along his way to taking down Gotham's criminal? 





Doctor Who Vol. #3 #14:  Every week that a Doctor Who book is released we try and pick one up.  We have always enjoyed reading and its one of the first things we look for when we pick up new books.  This series we have really been enjoying it is packed with plenty of revelations and action to go around.  In this weeks book, Clara and Calamity Jane are shot and killed by Wild Bill.  But how could this be when he is no longer alive?  Lots of confusion that will be cleared up in this weeks issue.  It sounds like the Doctor holds all the secrets and answers, but he's not budging.




Haunted Horror #7:  Since we are trying to recommend as many Halloween books as we can this week and also are in the mood for some Halloween books filled with horror, we are picking up this book this week.  This is one that we have always wanted to read, but have never had the chance to.  Beware this book is only for those of you that like lots of gory horror.  This book was actually banned from some stores in the 1950's for being a little too much.  If you want something for Halloween that is strictly for adults then this is the book for you.  What will Haunted Horror have in store for us this week?





Justice League Dark #24:  This is one series that we have always enjoyed so we are continuing on with our collection this week.  Don't forget that Justice League #24 is also available this week.  In this weeks book, The Justice League Dark is dead, and we find out how John Constantine survived.  Will he try and stop the new villains or will he join them?  Will anyone be able to stop the villains with Justice League Dark gone? 





Iron Man #17:  It has been a while since we have read any Iron Man comics, but we are excited for this weeks book.  This is suppose to be the Iron Man book that holds the most revelations with Tony Stark.  Marvel has promised some revelations that no Iron Man fans will want to miss out on.   This book is all about Tony Stark, and lots of secrets will be uncovered in this issue.  There will even be revelations that Tony did not know himself.  My prediction is that we may find out more about Tony's family and possibly Howard Stark.  Or maybe new family members that Tony never knew about. What revelations will we find out about Tony Stark?  





Kids Pick: Bravest Warriors #13:  This is our kids recommendation of the week, and it is a fun and exciting series that your little ones will love.  Packed with action and tons of curiosity to keep them entertained.  One thing we love about this series for kids is there is a lesson to learn in every book and its also packed with tons of action to keep them interested.  The art in this book is also great for the little ones.  For more gender related books I would go with TMNT Animated series or My Little Pony.  Or you can get all three, you can't go wrong with Christmas coming up.




Secret Avengers #10:  This is a series that we have not had the chance to check out yet, and we are intrigued by this series and looking forward to this book.  With the Avengers gone, S.H.I.E.L.D. is on their own, and have to be able to handle Thanos' strikes alone.  Will they be able to take down Thanos and handle the strikes or is everyone doomed? Its up to Agent Coulson, Maria Hill, and Nick Fury to defend against Thanos' strikes and we find out what the deal is with the newest member of The Secret Avengers. 





Vampirella/Eva/Dracula Halloween Special:  This is our Halloween book choice for the week being released.  There didn't seem to be too many Halloween books being released this week, but this one should fill any Halloween comic book cravings.  We also wanted to get this book because it has been a while since we have read or seen anything with any of these characters so it will be a nice change.  In this book, Vampirella, Eva, and Dracula are all teaming up and joining forces again to take down the Doomsday Cult that is threatening the Earth.  It will be one obstacle after another in this Halloween special and you can expect loads of excitement.  




Wolverine and the X-Men #37:  We always try and get at least on X-men book per month and we have been enjoying this series so we are continuing on with our collection.  In this week book, it Battle of The Atom part 8.  Wolverine is especially in trouble when he loses his healing factor takes a bad hit.  Will he be able to recover and fight?  Marvel has also revealed that there will be a big secret revealed in this issue for the end of 2013.  What could it be??  We are excited for another exciting issue of Wolverine and the X-Men #37.




Zombie War #1:  It has been a while since we have read any zombie comic books that wasn't the Walking Dead so it will be nice for a change.  With Kevin Eastman on this book we feel that this book will meet our expectations.  There will be two giant sized issues in this series, and this is the first of the two.  Zombies are always a big threat, but an even bigger threat when they carry and use weapons as these zombies do.  This book is the perfect treat for Halloween.  Jina, A pilot tries to figure out what will stop these creatures, and what provoked them in the first place.  Will the zombies be able to be stopped?  What damage will the zombies cause along the way?
