Posted on June 4, 2014 by ttstar81 in Features, Nerd Issues Weekly // 0 Comments

See which other comics you should be picking up and pulling off the shelf this week along with “The Wake,” “Original Sin” and “Moon Knight.”

Welcome to the inaugural edition of the “Nerd Issues Weekly” where we tell you which comics you should be picking up and adding to your pull list for each New Comics Day. This week we are featuring some work from the likes of Scott Snyder, Sean Murphy and Warren Ellis, as well as some titles that are fairly new to the market.

1. The Wake #9

Story by: Scott Snyder

Art by: Sean Murphy

Publisher: DC Comics, Vertigo

Price: $2.99

As the penultimate of “The Wake” is released, this is rightfully at the top of this week’s pull list. The equilibrium of Scott Snyder’s narrative and Sean Murphy’s artwork has been pinpoint throughout the duration of the series, and I don’t expect that to change in the final two issues.

2. Original Sin #3

Story by: Jason Aaron

Art by: Mike Deodato

Publisher: Marvel Comics

Price: $3.99

The investigation of Uatu the Watcher’s death continues as Nick Fury and The Avengers remain on the hunt for He Who Holds The Eye and his boss. Expect this to be another chilling issue as yet another murder is uncovered by the Winter Soldier led team.

3. Woods #2

Story by: James Tynion IV

Art by: Michael Dialynas

Publisher: Boom Studios

Price: $3.99

“Woods” is the debut original comic by James Tynion IV. Just in its second issue this far into the series, the story revolves around a Milwaukee-based school that has been teleported into an alien wilderness, and more closely follows a group of students who venture out to discover answers.

4. Rise of the Magi #1

Story by: Marc Silvestri

Art by: Sumeyye Kesgin

Publisher: Image Comics

Price: $3.50

Written by Marc Silvestri and featuring art by the talented Sumeyye Kesgin, “Rise of the Magi” is a new series that follows Asa Stoneworth as he discovers that a piece of a black sphere that holds two worlds together has gone missing after having its protective spell broken.

5. Moon Knight #4

Story by: Warren Ellis

Art by: Declan Shalvey

Publisher: Marvel Comics

Price: $3.99

The relaunch of “Moon Knight” with Warren Ellis has been seeing a level of success that has a resemblance to the work of Matt Fraction on the Hawkeye series in 2012. Warren Ellis has promised that “Moon Knight” is going to journey into some weird places, and I cannot wait to see that happen in this week’s issue.

What are you guys looking forward to picking up this week that we didn’t cover? Let us know in the comments below!
