Six new, must-read comic books to pick up this week
As a seasoned comic enthusiast with years of reading under my belt, let me tell you about these latest releases that have got me all fired up! First off, I’ve been following Namor since he first splashed onto the scene, and it’s fascinating to see his backstory unfold in Namor No. 4 by Jason Aaron. The guy’s a complex character with a heart as deep as the ocean, but his past mistakes still haunt him like a great white shark circling for the kill.
As we wrap up this month, it might seem like there’s a shortage of fresh comics hitting the shelves. But fear not, fellow gaming enthusiasts! Marvel Comics and BOOM! Studios are here to ensure that your comic book collection remains top-notch.
As always, let’s start with the pick of the week.
Amazing Spider-Man No. 60 (pick of the week)
- Writers: Zeb Wells and Joe Kelly
- Artists: Ed McGuinness, Mark Buckingham, Paolo Rivera, Patrick Gleason, Todd Nauck, and Alessandro Cappuccio
As a longtime fan who has been following Zeb Wells’ run on Spider-Man for quite some time now, I must say that this final issue was nothing short of spectacular. From start to finish, it kept me hooked and engaged with its intricate plot twists and captivating character development. It was one of those rare comics that I found myself eagerly anticipating each new issue, discussing it with fellow fans, and even recommending it to others who share my love for the web-slinger.
This colossal version of “The Amazing Spider-Man” is expected to wrap up many storylines penned by Zeb Wells. Will Mary Jane Watson and Paul Barnes remain a couple? What’s in store for Tombstone? Is Norman Osborn free from his Green Goblin identity? To uncover the answers, you’ll need to delve into the comic book.
Title for Issue #34: Something’s Slaughtering the Children
— BOOM! Studios (@boomstudios) September 29, 2023
Something is Killing the Children Vol. 8
- Writer: James Tynion IV
- Artist: Werther Dell’edera
As a gamer, let me share something exciting I stumbled upon in the comic book world – Something is Killing the Children. Now, you might not have read this series before, but fear not! These standalone tales are perfectly enjoyable even for newcomers like myself. They delve deep into Erica Slaughter’s past, offering a fascinating glimpse into her life before the main storyline. It’s a captivating setup for Erica’s upcoming arc and provides valuable insights into what shaped this remarkable character.
Batman The Long Halloween: The Last Halloween No. 2
- Writer: Jeph Loeb
- Artist: Klaus Janson
On the final page of “Batman: The Long Halloween – The Last Halloween” No. 1, we see Harvey Dent suffering from a gunshot wound inflicted by criminals wearing clown masks. What makes this situation puzzling is that the shooter appears to be aware that Harvey’s wife, Gilda, is actually the Holiday Killer – a fact even Batman is unaware of.
If Harvey is unable to act, she’ll have no other option than to accept their conditions. One of them claims they merely wish to discuss, yet it seems there’s more at stake. Furthermore, are these minions of the Joker? It appears Calendar Man is targeting both Harvey and Gilda in the opening scenes. Could this suggest he’s making a comeback but disguising himself with a new trick up his sleeve?
Namor No. 4
- Writer: Jason Aaron
- Artists: Alex Lins and Paul Davidson
Jason Aaron consistently portrays Namor as his characteristic narcissist, yet also reveals the remorse the ex-King of Atlantis feels over past errors. What’s captivating is that Aaron lets readers witness the transformation into the familiar Namor they know.
From his upbringing and training, Namor developed into a lethal individual. Consequently, he’s made numerous errors along the way. Some of these mistakes stem from anger and bitterness. Other mistakes might originate from habits or voices he was likely conditioned to listen to. However, all these actions can be traced back to his traumatic childhood experiences.
In the midst of all the chaos, I find myself face-to-face with a woman from my past – Kailani. She was not just the first love I ever had, but a beacon that opened my eyes to the vastness of the ocean beyond my kingdom’s horizon. As we navigate through a war in the depths and stand at the brink of conflict with the surface world, I can’t help but reflect on the wisdom she imparted and the new perspectives she brought into my life.
Wolverine: Revenge No. 3
- Writer: Jonathan Hickman
- Artist: Greg Capullo
In an alternate universe setting for “Wolverine: Revenge”, anything is possible, as shown in the storyline where Logan removes Sabretooth’s healing factor and intends to kill him at the end of issue No. 2. Furthermore, the cover art of issue 3 depicts Wolverine engaged in combat with his former ally Colossus, which may result in Colossus’ demise.
In the Marvel universe’s narrative (specifically in “Wolverine: Sabretooth War”), Logan may have taken Sabretooth’s life, but he didn’t do so to a friend of his closest circle. With Hickman at the helm, it’s guaranteed that something wild and unexpected will unfold in issue 3 and beyond.
Drawing inspiration from the iconic NYX, YOUNG AVENGERS, and RUNAWAYS, this is a title we’ve long dreamt of. It embodies the story we envision perfectly, a narrative that honors Krakoa, yet guides us towards new beginnings.

NYX No. 4
- Writers: Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing
- Artist: Enid Balám
In each edition of NYX, a unique character has been the spotlight. This time, we delve into the life of David Alleyne (Prodigy), exploring his perspective on mutant culture. The cover hints at some exciting developments: David might discover a newly formed Quiet Council, with Hellion being one of its members. Could Sophie be collaborating with Hellion? Will Prodigy align himself with them? Does Sophie play a double role in this scheme? Keep an eye on TopMob for more revelations!
