Look: some weeks, there are just too many good comics. Some days, it feels like your pull list could possibly make your rent check bounce. This is one of those weeks. Prepare yourself, Wednesday Warriors, for this week is indeed a mighty one. We’ll highlight some choice books, but take a look at the complete list below and be ready to drain the ol’ bank account. Who needs food when you have comics though, right?

THE PUNISHER #3

The Punisher #3 from Marvel Comics

Written By: Becky Cloonan
Art By: Steve Dillon
Colors By: Frank Martin
Letters By: VC’s Joe Sabino

Becky Cloonan and Steve Dillon are so in sync it’s scary. Their Punisher is quickly becoming one of the best takes on the character in years, and it’s because they are simply sticking to their guns, so to speak. No frills, just straight up Punisher action—which is exactly what The Punisher should be. Cloonan brings a bleak darkness to the series while Dillon is busy producing some of the best pages he’s ever done. Seriously. Dillon is at the top of his game here, and it all looks amazing. Frank Martin’s colors are the icing on the bloody, bloody cake that is The Punisher. I sincerely hope this series never ends.

BATMAN #2

Batman #2 From DC Comics

Written By: Tom King
Art By: David Finch, Matt Banning, and Danny Miki
Colors By: Jordie Bellaire
Letters By: John Workman

This series moves fast. Snyder and Capullo were all about the slow burn, the seeds being planted and allowed to grow over time. Tom King and David Finch are like “screw that, crank this thing to eleven.” We get hardly any backstory on these Gotham heroes, but it’s clear what Batman knows. He doesn’t trust anybody (cause he’s Batman), and he’s not about to give in to two dweebs who named themselves after the city they are protecting. King’s script is tight and light; he lets Finch do his thing and the comic is better for it. With Matt Banning and Danny Miki inking and Jordie Bellaie coloring, Finch’s Batman looks the best he’s ever looked.

FUTURE QUEST #2

Future Quest #2 from DC Comics

Written By: Jeff Parker
Art By: Evan Shaner, Ron Randall, and Jonathan Case
Colors By: Jordie Bellaire
Letters By: Dave Lanphear

If you were a fan of these old Hanna-Barbera cartoons, Future Quest will please you to no end. If you’ve never had the pleasure of watching those old classics, fear not, because Parker, Shaner, and crew have crafted one amazing superhero comic here. This issue sees the introduction of more characters, and shows us exactly why Space Ghost ended up facing off with Johnny Quest at the end of the last issue. Evan Shaner is joined here by Ron Randall and Jonathan Case, both of whom have styles that fit the book much more than Steve Rude did in issue one. Don’t get me wrong, Steve Rude is amazing, but drastically different from Shaner. This issue has a better flow thanks to artists that all seem to be on the same page (not literally). Also, more Jordie Bellaire amazingness.

THE FIX #4

The Fix #4 from Image Comics

Written By: Nick Spencer
Art By: Steve Lieber
Colors By: Ryan Hill
Letters By: Nic J Shaw

Considering that fact that every issue of The Fix sells out and goes into multiple printings — last I checked issue one was on its 33rd printing — it’s probably a waste of time for me to tell you that this comic series is amazing and you should buy it. You probably are buying it, that’s why it keeps selling out, right? If, by some small chance you are not purchasing this fine, fine comic book every month, let’s rectify that now. Consider this an intervention: We’ve gathered here because we love you and we want you to know that not buying The Fix is not only hurting you, it’s hurting us, too. Look at your mom! She’s crying her eyes out! Anyway. Steve Lieber and Nick “Hail Hydra” Spencer are amazing and this is probably going to be the biggest book series since Harry Potter.

Okay, that’s it for us this week. Check out the complete list below and let us know what your pull list looks like in the comments!
