5 Must Buys

Sup Brosephs.  Happy Monday, Labor Day and 3 day weekend. Welcome back to the 5 Must Buys. There are a lot of great books this week and some can't make the cut. As you know, I have been enjoying DC's Rebirth.  All New All Different Marvel really hasn't been doing it for me, but there are some gems in there including Vision, Old Man Logan, Dr. Strange, Moon Knight and Black Panther.  Here is the list of what you should be picking up:

W: Tom King A: Ivan Reis

Batman No. 6 - 'I AM GOTHAM' epilogue. In this stand-alone tale, Batman seeks redemption as he tries to keep Gotham Girl from going down a dangerous path. But can the Dark Knight save someone who doesn't want to be saved?

Tom King has been doing a great job on Batman. Now that the story of Gotham is done, it looks like it is Gotham Girls turn.  According to her, her and Duke Thomas are going to get married and she may or may not kill Batman. This has potential to be good, but after Jim Gordon being Batman, it might be a little to early to kill off Batman again.  Hopefully Tom King will lead us down a dark and twisty path.

W: Ben Percy A: Stephen Byrne

Green  Arrow No. 6 - 'SINS OF THE MOTHER'! Following the shocking events with the Ninth Circle, Green Arrow's wayward sister/sidekick Emiko travels to Japan on a quest to destroy the crime lords who control her mother, Shado, the assassin who murdered Oliver Queen.

Since the Rebirth Green Arrow has been one of the best DC books coming out.  I liked the relationship between Green Arrow and Black Canary. With Oliver Queen's allies turning their back on him for most of the previous arc, it was nice to see them working together again. Hopefully they will continue to explore Oliver's relationships with his allies.

W: Ed Brubaker A: Sean Phillips

Kill or Be Killed No. 2 - The second chapter in Brubaker, Phillips and Breitweiser's new hit book! Every killer has to have his first kill, and they're never easy.

Kill or Be Killed No. 1 as great.  It was not what I was expecting.  Brubaker weaves a dark tale with super natural aspects that were great. This is something that you should be reading. The second print of number one is coming out this week in case you missed it.    

W: Robert Kirkman A: Charlie Adlard

The Walking Dead No. 158 - THE WHISPERER WAR' Part TwoThe war rages on.

What can I say about the Walking Dead that you haven't heard.  If you aren't reading this by now, pick up the trade paper backs and catch up. Catch up NOW!!! Negan is free and causing problems again. Negan is one of the most interesting villains around today.  You never know what he is going to say or do besides cuss.  

W: Jeff Lemire A: Greg Smallwood

Moon Knight #6 - 'INCARNATIONS' STARTS NOW! Marc Spector broke his body to escape the prison Khonshu built for his mind…And Stephen Grant awoke in New York City, ready to produce Marvel's next box-office smash! It's a happy ending-unless Marc is still trapped somewhere.

Moon knight has been a trip in this new book. Lemire has been great.  Can't tell what is real what is in his mind. I have never been a Moon Knight fan, but this makes me want to go back and read more Moon Knight stories. This is a book that can open the character up to a whole new audience.

Superman #6, Sheriff of Babylon#10, Doctor Strange # 11, Daredevil #11 and Nailbiter #25.
