What Red Shirt Comics said:

Captain America picks up the shield again following the events of Secret Empire. Mark Waid takes over writing duties while Chris Samnee handles the visuals. Waid has written Cap before and his run even lands at number 8 of Comic Alliance's Top 10 Essential Captain America Runs. Nick Spencer gave fans a lot to chew on and deftly wrote a great run of the Falcon to boot but now Waid is taking Cap back to basics and hitting the road. It's time for Cap to get to know the country he fights for from a different point of view as he searches to make a home for himself.

DC Pick of the Week:

Deadman #1 (of 6)

$4.99

What Previews said:

(W) Neal Adams (A/CA) Neal Adams

"Journey into Death" part one! When we last left Deadman, the true story had barely begun! Deadman's death was unsolved, and his fate was intertwined with that of his parents and siblings. Even the Dark Night Detective couldn't solve the mysteries of Boston Brand's fantastic secrets! Now, Batman is back, confronting Deadman about who was really behind his death. Was Boston Brand's assassination a test for the League of Assassins? Why does Batman think Ra's al Ghul was involved? And why does Deadman need the help of Zatanna, Phantom Stranger, Dr. Fate and the Spectre to defend Nanda Parbat? RATED T+

What Red Shirt Comics said:

Neal Adams is a master of this medium. His comics work has been pretty sparse in the later end of his career as he has been working on other endeavors. But the comics he produces are worth savoring.

Atomic Robo: Spectre of Tomorrow #1

$3.99

What Previews said:

(W) Brian Clevinger (A/CA) Scott Wegener

Remember those carefree days when the world was only imperiled by things like giant mutants from the sea or the occasional mad scientist dinosaur? Now it's 2017 and everything's horrible all the time! But that's why Atomic Robo is setting up the new Tesladyne Institute in the badlands of New Mexico's Jornada del Muerto desert with Sir Richard Branson's Spaceport on one side and Elon Musk's Solar Farm on the other. With neighbors like these, who needs to uncover an insidious plot that threatens the lives of everyone in the world?

Celebrate 10 years of Atomic Robo by jumping on this brand new story!

I love Atomic Robo. Think Hellboy meets Astroboy. It's this light, exciting adventure story with down to earth, naturally enjoyable characters.
