Sebastian’s Top 5
Hawkeye #20 – By Matt Fraction with artwork by Annie Wu
KATE-GUY! MADAME MASQUE! LOS ANGELES! EXPLOSIONS! THE END OF SUMMER VACATION! THE FINAL SHOWDOWN FOR ALL THE MARBLES! THE MARBLES ARE A METAPHOR!
YOU BELONG YOU BELONG YOU BELONG YOU BELONG TO THE MERRY MARBLE MARCHING SOCIETY! This is… THE BIG ONE. Fraction and Wu and Hollingsworth too — OH MY!
Ms.Marvel #8 – By G.Willow Wilson with artwork by Adrian Alphona
• Kamala crosses paths with Inhumanity for the first time — by meeting the royal pup, Lockjaw!
• Every girl wants a puppy, but this one may be too much of a handful, even for a super hero with embiggening powers.
• He may be the Queen’s pooch, but this dog’s one royal pain in the neck.
• And the return of Adrian Alphona!
Teen Dog #1 – By Jake Lawrence
WHY WE LOVE IT: TEEN DOG is John Hughes meets ’90s Nickelodeon cartoons, two of our absolute favorite things. It’s a totally awesome adventure that stars the canine that spun out of Jake Lawrence’s web comic Time Cowboy and kickflipped his way into our hearts.
WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT: How was your high school experience? TEEN DOG is high school if it didn’t totally blow, and instead totally ruled the most. Teen angst and whimsical adventures collide in this new series reminiscent of Doug, Saved By the Bell, and Kim Possible.
WHAT IT’S ABOUT: Skateboards, football games, prom…your teenage years have got nothin’ on the raddest dude that’s ever graced a denim vest. Written and illustrated by Jake Lawrence (Time Cowboy), join Teen Dog and his best friend Mariella as they tackle typical teen life with a manic twist. Growing up is an adventure, and you might as well rock it!
The Waking Dead #131 – By Robert Kirkman with artwork by Charlie Adlard
A journey begins.
Velvet #7 – By Ed Brubaker with artwork by Steve Epting
THE SECOND ARC CONTINUES! While Velvet’s been on the run, ARC-7’s top men have been hunting her…now they have her trail, and soon she’ll be in Colt’s sights.
