Welcome back, Wednesday Warriors!
After a refreshing vacation, we’re diving straight into the best comic releases this week. From cosmic battles to medieval intrigue, this lineup features thrilling narratives, standout artwork, and fan-favorite characters. Let’s count down the Top 5 Comics of the Week!
Pick of the Week: “Phoenix #1”
Leading the charge is Phoenix #1, written by Stephanie Phillips with art by Alessandro Miracolo. Jean Grey stars in this cosmic solo journey, answering a desperate S.O.S. from Nova and encountering a crisis near a black hole.
Phillips writes Jean’s inner struggle with the Phoenix Force with emotional depth, while Miracolo delivers vivid galactic visuals. This debut launches a powerful new chapter for one of Marvel’s most complex characters.
Second Place: “Dark Knights of Steel: Allwinter #1”
This week’s runner-up is Dark Knights of Steel: Allwinter #1 by Jay Kristoff, Tom Taylor, and artist Tirso Cons. Set in the wintry wilderness of the Dark Knights universe, Deathstroke is reimagined as a reluctant protector battling political chaos and a creeping curse.
Cons’ detailed, frostbitten illustrations and the grim atmosphere elevate this medieval fantasy spin-off into a haunting tale of loyalty, violence, and redemption.
Third Place: “The Immortal Thor Annual #1”
Written by Al Ewing with art by Lee Garbett, The Immortal Thor Annual #1 continues Marvel’s exploration of godhood, legacy, and identity.
This annual blends high-stakes action with philosophical undertones. Ewing brings poetic gravity to Thor’s role as a cosmic force, while Garbett’s visuals shine with powerful compositions and epic scale. It’s a rich, rewarding read for longtime fans and newcomers alike.
Fourth Place: “John Constantine, Hellblazer: Dead in America #7”
John Constantine, Hellblazer: Dead in America #7 by Simon Spurrier and Aaron Campbell offers a chilling dose of supernatural horror.
Spurrier’s sharp dialogue and Campbell’s moody, textured artwork create a grim, immersive world. As Constantine faces grotesque new enemies, the issue underscores the personal cost of his arcane lifestyle. A must-read for horror fans and Hellblazer loyalists.
Honorable Mention: “The Rocketeer: Breaks Free #1”
As a longtime Rocketeer fan, I’m thrilled to include The Rocketeer: Breaks Free #1 by Stephen Mooney and Staz Johnson. This nostalgic return sends Cliff Secord, Betty, and Peevy to 1940s San Francisco—only for chaos to ensue.
Featuring a dramatic cable car rescue and the introduction of Debbie Seville, a bold new ally, this issue blends classic pulp action with modern storytelling charm.
