Geeking 4 Everyone's Top Comic Picks of the week (11-13-13)

Every week we like to give our fans the top ten books we recommend and plan on buying every week.  We also like to give one kids recommendation, and a collectors item.  These weekly blogs do not include any spoilers just a summary of the book usually provided by the comic book distributor.  We also release comic book reviews every Wednesday that do include reviews with spoilers. Keep in mind the covers we provide are our preference so it may not be available or you may prefer a different cover.  Make sure to go to the comic distributors for information on every variant released for the books.  Over the next few months there are some amazing titles and new series released to celebrate several anniversaries and we cannot wait.  This week there are also some great anniversary books to celebrate with. There are so many books this week coming out that we have been waiting for a a long time and we are more pumped than ever for this weeks books.  Here's our top ten for the week:



Deadpool #19:  We have collected every book in this series and its the final chapter of the Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. We have always been huge Deadpool fans so when a new book comes out we try and pick it up.  We haven't been huge on the Deadpool vs Deadpool series so we get extra excited when there is just a traditional Deadpool coming out.  The cover we have shown you is the only cover out for this week there are no variants available yet for this book. You can expect the classic Deadpool action and humor in this weeks book. 





Doctor Who Prisoners of time #11:  This series was made to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who.  Lately, this has been one of our favorites and we can't wait to read this weeks books.  There is so much excitement going on in this series its almost impossible to wait for the next book to come out.  In this weeks book, the Eleventh Doctor joins in and you can expect this to be one of the best books in this anniversary series yet.  Now that the Doctor has found out who his latest enemy is and he must track him down through time for a final showdown.  This is one of those series for us that we don't want to end but we also can't wait for the last two books to come out.  We can't wait for the final two books and the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special. 




Kids Pick: Adventure Time Candy Capers #5:  Adventure time is always a great option for the little ones.  Not only will your little ones enjoy what they are reading, but they will also learn an important lesson in just about every book.  Sometimes there are math lessons, science, and all kinds of daily lessons that your kids can relate to real life with some of their favorite characters.   Adventure time is also a cartoon series on TV so your kids will also reading about one of their favorite cartoons.  Our little one especially enjoyed the candy capers over the Halloween holiday.  This week, there are a wide variety of silly team ups that will get your child's laughter going, and also teaches a lesson about telling the truth and being honest.  There is only one more book in this series but there is a lot of Adventure Time released every month in different series.  Tons of adults love this series and we enjoy reading Adventure Time, and especially with our little ones.




Star Wars #11:  We always have loved Star Wars comics and novels.  The character development is and the plot lines go into so much more detail than the movies.  In this weeks book Princess Leia and her group is together again just in time to defend themselves from one of the most dangerous battles yet.  They will be fighting for their lives in this weeks book and you can expect lots of excitement.   Meanwhile the Star Destroyer attacks the rebels.  Darth Vaders main agent realizes what it could mean for him if he fails one of the darkest villains in space.  And on Coruscant Han Solo's luck couldn't get any worse.  You can expect an awesome issue packed with lots of action.




Superman Wonderwoman #2:  This is a brand new series and we just picked up the first book from Mile High Comics when they were giving them away for free.  We are enjoying this series so far and looking forward to another book.  In this weeks book, Diana goes to her brother for assisting with some weapons, but then she gets a more important threat that needs to be taken care of from Apollo and the other gods.  They do not approve of Superman and so he must prove himself in a battle.  Will Superman be able to prove himself? There were so many great covers from several different great artists and it made it hard to choose so we just picked one.  The Black and White is also an amazing cover so be sure to check out all the variants for this  book.





Marvel Knights X-Men #1:  We are picking up a lot of X-Men books with the 50th Anniversary coming up soon.  Our way of celebrating is loading up on tons of comics and also picking up the new X-Men series that Marvel has out.  Please make sure to also pick up the X-Men Gold #1 this week.  There are a total of five books in this series and we plan to pick up every one.  This series is the darker of most X-Men series we have seen.  This book is all about what happens when your past comes back to haunt you and possibly kill you.  This is definitely a more adult book and more on the darker side of things.  Kitty, Rogue, and Wolverine are out on a mission to protect some new mutants.  But their help may not be welcomed, will they run into too much trouble?  Or will they be able to help the mutants and get out safely? 





Thor God of Thunder #15:  Everyone is a little pumped up for Thor with the new movie coming out and we are picking up a few different Thor books this week for free from Mile High Comics for placing an online order.  These freebies are something you do not want to miss, plus 60% off back issues.  Make sure to place your order quick before they are all gone. We have always enjoyed this series and have been especially pumped just like everyone else for the new movie.  In this weeks book, the hunt for Malekith the Accursed continues from the Thor God of Thunder #14.  Thor is chasing the Dark Elf through the nine realms.  Will he be able to find him?  Will this mean war?





Unity #1:  We have always loved Matt Kindt and we are excited for his work on Unity. We feel like it has been ages since any of these books have been released.   This story is about Toyo Harada who is the World's most dangerous man has developed some type of fear.  There is a new threat and Tony decides to make deadliest and most intense team yet, called Unity.  Unity's first objective is to take out one of the most powerful enemies yet, Kill X-O Manowar.  Not only is this book going to be exciting, but some of our favorites are working on this book.  Not only is Matt Kindt writing this book, but Neal Adams and other great artists will working on this series. We cannot wait for a groundbreaking series from some of our favorite writers and artists.  The cover we included was is the Neal Adams variant and unfortunately they are completely sold out.  This Neal Adams Black and White variant is going for a minimum of $250 on ebay. 





Walking Dead #116:  We have been so pumped for this book ever since the first one came out about a month ago.  When the #115 was released it was sold out at least a week in advance.  With much appreciation to Mile High Comics we were able to get all 14 variants for the #115.  There are a series of ten book in this series going from #115-#126 to celebrate The Walking Dead's 50th anniversary.  We absolutely loved the first book and we have been aniticipating the next book for over a month.  The art was amazing in the last book and we cannot wait to read and see another amazing comics.  Please don't miss our review this week for The Walking Dead #115.  This week, All Out War continues and its time for a head to head battle.  Who do you think will win?  You can look forward to the Walking Dead #117 coming out on the 27th of November.




X-Men Gold #1:  Its time to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the X-Men, and to start off the celebration Marvel is bringing us this incredible new X-Men series.  One of our favorites, Chris Claremont and Bob McLoed are working together on this epic new story including Colossus, Cyclops, Kitty Pryde, Nightcrawler, Rogue and Wolverine.  We always get pumped for X-Men but we are especially pumped for this series.  Chris Claremont is one of our favorites and we had the pleasure of meeting him last Free Comic Book Day at Mile High Comics when they were featuring him as a guest.  It was such an honor to meet him and we have always been such a huge fan of his work. There is also some great creators working on this series including but not limited to Stan Lee, Walter Simonson, Louise Simonson, and Fabian Nicieza.  This is a do not miss and will be a great collectors item one day.  If we had to choose one book to get this week then this would be it.  But luckily this week we are picking up all of our recommendations.  Having Claremont and Lee on this book together (and many other original X-Men artists) is really the only way to properly celebrate the 50th anniversary of X-Men.
