Geeking 4 Everyone's Weekly Top Comic Picks (11-20-13)

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.  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:

Avengers #23:  This is one series we have been enjoying and purchased every book since the beginning.  This week its going to get intense when the battle of the Earth moves planet side.   Its the Avengers vs the black order and Thanos takes center stage.  Who do you think will win the battle?  You can expect tons of excitement in this weeks book. 



Batman 66 #5:  Batman and Robin are under a spell by The Sandman.  Will they be able to wake up before Gotham gets in too much trouble?  We have been enjoying this series and have picked up every book so far and look forward to a new one when it comes out.  This book is illustrated by Eisner winner Colleen Coover and there is also a variant available for this book done by Dave Johnson.  There will be some great art in this book this week so don't miss out.




Batman and Two Face #25:  This has always been a great villain book for Batman readers.  It is filled with excitement and we have never been disappointed with the action and story line in this comic.  We also enjoyed when DC did Two Face for villains month in September.  In this weeks book, Two Face is still on a path of destruction and he can't wait to cause more turmoil in Gotham.  It is up to Commissioner Gordon and Carrie Kelly to help Batman and Gotham.  Who is Carrie Kelly and how can she help Commissioner Gordon and Batman?  Will they be able to help Batman and Gotham before its too late? 




Cable and X-Force #16:  This has always been one of our favorites and you can expect lots of revelations in this weeks book.  After the battle with the Uncanny Avengers and X-Force, Cable's abilities have been transformed and weakened.  What will happen when a new enemy comes in contact with him?  Will he be able to fight off the enemy with his powers altered? 




Bloodshoot & Hard Corps #16:  We have always enjoyed the Bloodshot Comic book series by Valiant.  We are never let down and the series is always packed with action and surprises.  This week, Bloodshot is exhausted and weak and he and Charlie are fighting.  The rest of the group is not much stronger than Charlie is, and H.A.R.D. Corps has experienced their first big casualty.  They are weaker than ever and they are about to take on Harada.  They are weaker than ever and they are about to go on one of the deadliest missions yet.  Will they be able to get their strength back in time to fight Sarada?  Will They be able to fight Harada and win?




Doctor Who Prisoners of Time #12:  It is the last book in the year long celebratory Doctor Who 50th Anniversary series.  We are sad to see this series go and don't want it to come to an end but we are also excited to see what happens in the last book.  The last book is the book that we have all been waiting for in this epic anniversary series.  We have loved every single book in this series and cannot wait to pick up the last book in this series.  In the last book of this series, all eleven doctors must team up and defeat the most unlikely and powerful ally.  We have a feeling this last book will very closely follow the 50th Anniversary special being aired this Saturday evening.  Make sure you stay tuned to our Facebook page for all the geek news and blogs before the event on Saturday. 




Kids Pick: Ben 10 #1:  There are quite a few kids books this month that your little ones would love.  Our little one has been pumped for this new Ben 10 series.   We were able to get him some of these books on FCBD and also Halloween Comicfest.  He loved them both and couldn't wait for more.  We love Ben 10 as parents because there is always something educational and its a great story line.  Ben 10 is one of the most watched cartoons right now and its great for kids to get the same joy from reading as from television.  We feel this book would be great for boys and girls because both the male and female characters in this book are pretty exciting.  In this weeks book,  Ben and his team mates go on a cruise vacation only to find out it might not be so relaxing when they encounter a serpent that is not so friendly.  There is also a new Adventure Time this week if your kids are not wild about Ben 10.  You would be great getting either one, or both.




Uncanny X-Men #14:  We have always loved X-Men and especially the Uncanny X-Men series.  We try to pick up at least 3-4 X-Men books every month to add to our collection.  This week, Magneto sets out on an objective that puts the X-Men and the Marvel universe on edge.  Also we will find out how the new Xavier School has changed. What do you think Magneto is planning?  Do you think the X-Men will be able to stop Magneto before its too late?  How do you think the school has changed?

X-O Manowar:  We are very excited for what Valiant has in store for us this week with X-O Manowar.  If you love Unity and Eternal Warrior you will get a taste of a little bit of everything.  After reading last weeks Unity we are pumped with this book.  In last weeks Unity the mission was to take down X-O Manowar so if you picked that book up last week then you should get this book.  We have a feeling the two go great together and the Unity #1 from last week ties into X-O Manowar this week. In this weeks book, X-O Manowar goes up against Unity, and it is the most intense and difficult battle that he will have yet.  You will also get to see appearances from Harada, Ninjak, Eternal Warrior and Livewire in one of the deadliest battles yet. 




Zero #3:  We have loved this new series ever since it came out and we look forward to a new book every time its released.  Its circa 2019 and Edward Zero looks into a mirror and does not like what he sees in the mirror.  What do you think Edward sees in the Mirror and what revelations will be made?  What other problems do you think Edward will run into?  What else will he find in the future?
