Shane’s Picks of the Week (9/11/13)
- PICK OF THE WEEK: TEOTFW - This is one of strangest graphic novels I’ve read in a while. Simplistic yet wholly engrossing and definitely unpredictable. Also, rumor has it that TEOTFW is in the process of being turned into a web series, so that’s pretty neat!
- East of West vol. 1: The Promise - I’ve been wanting to get into this series for so long, but I just haven’t had the time. Well that time is now! Very exciting. Hickman has been everywhere lately, eh?
- FBP: Federal Bureau of Physics #3 - The last issue ended with quite the twist, and I’m so stoked on the concept of alternate universes, that doesn’t have to do with time travel.
- X-Men #5 - Speaking of time travel! I’m kind of crazy about Battle of the Atom so far, and it’s probably because Jason Aaron had a large part in coming up with the event, and I sure do love anything Jason Aaron touches. Even if you’re not caught up with the whole X-Men universe, this event is a great place to jump in!

Shane’s Picks of the Week (8/28/13)
- PICK OF THE WEEK: Thor: God of Thunder #12 - #11 literally left me in slack-jawed awe after every page. If you’re not reading this by now, I don’t know what you think you’re doing that is a better use of your time… but you’re wrong.
- Captain Marvel #15 - I love you, Kelly Sue. Please never stop doing what you’re doing. The end of Enemy Within was so frakking good.
- FBP: Federal Bureau of Physics #2 - Okay… so this was called Collider before, now its FBP. I love how they dealt with that on the cover. #1 was really rad and the colors are INCREDIBLE.
- Thanos Rising #5 (of 5): The conclusion of Thanos’ rise to becoming the mad titan we all know and love and fear today. Jason Aaron has really done a great job on this series. Props, dude. Mad props.
