New No.1's

Hola Nerdmigos, Happy Tuesday.  Hope you enjoyed the 3 day weekend. I have picked out 5 of the best new books that are coming out this week. It's hard to keep up with so many books coming out every week and sometimes sold out by the time you make it to your local comic book store. Hopefully this helps you find something new that you wouldn't have noticed otherwise.  Have fun.

Cyborg #1 - Victor Stone was once a star athlete and brilliant student with a bright future. But after a tragic accident destroyed over half of his body, Victor was kept alive by merging flesh with advanced technology. Today he is the Justice League co-founder called Cyborg. But is the young hero a man, or a machine that merely believes it's a man? Victor Stone was once a star athlete and brilliant student with a bright future.

I have never been a Cyborg fan, but might as well give him a try.  I didn't like how they stuck him with the new Justice League during the New 52 relaunch.  He is a Teen Titan and should be a Teen Titan.  However, DC continues to insist that he is a Justice Leaguer, so let's check out his solo book.

Supergirl #1 - 'REIGN OF THE CYBORG SUPERMAN' part one! Supergirl is back and working for the DEO to defend National City! As Kara Danvers, average American teenager and high school student, Supergirl must balance her life as a superhero with her new life on Earth. But some demons from her Kryptonian past are coming back to haunt her, and Kara will find herself face-to-face with her father: the sinister Cyborg Superman!

Again this is a character that I could never get behind, but the art on this one really calls my name. I am hoping this turns into the Spidergwen of the DC Universe. This is one I will check out, but might bail on early.

Great Divide #1 - In the near future, humanity awakens to the horrifying reality that the faintest touch from another's skin results in agonizing death. The survivors isolate themselves, many driven mad by fragments of memories 'absorbed' from those they've killed. Two years after the 'Divide,' a pair of thieves stumble upon the means to save their species. But not everyone is eager to see the old world order restored. 

This seems like the typical post apocalyptic tale.  I always pick these up, sometimes they are a good read and some times they are a bad rip off of the walking dead. The cover on this one is what really caught my attention.

Glitterbomb #1 - Farrah Durante is a middle-aged actress hunting for her next gig in an industry where youth trumps experience. Her frustrations become an emotional lure for something horrifying out beyond the water, something ready to exact revenge on the shallow celebrity-obsessed culture that's led her astray. Fan-favorite JIM ZUB (WAYWARD, Thunderbolts) and newcomer DJIBRIL MORISSETTE-PHAN tear into the heart of Hollywood in GLITTERBOMB, a dramatic horror story about fame and failure. "A gut-punch of glitz and blood and starf**ked culture. You want to read this." - Chuck Wendig (Blackbirds)

This one looks interesting.  It looks dark and disturbing and the art looks great.  It looks like a great commentary about our celebrity obsessed culture. Pick it up and take a chance.  Wayward wasn't for me, but I know a lot of people that loved it.

Eclipse #1 - Imagine if sunlight burned you alive. In the near future, a mysterious solar event has transformed the sun's light into deadly immolating rays. The world's few survivors now live in nocturnal cities. But a killer emerges who uses sunlight to burn his victims, and when he targets the daughter of a solar power mogul, it falls to a disillusioned solar engineer to protect her.

I read a preview for this awhile back and really liked the premise.  I have been waiting for this book ever since.  A murder mystery in a post apocalyptic future. Yes please.  The human race having to live in darkness all the time, but relying on solar energy.

Don't agree? Pick up something new? Let me know in the comments.
