Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Bounty Hunter and the Tea Brewer

• Written by Faith Erin Hicks
• Art by Peter Wartman
• Colors by Adele Matera
• Published by Dark Horse Comics

The Avatar: The Last Airbender comics have been consistently delightful and this next one, The Bounty Hunter and the Tea Brewer , looks no different. As the title suggests, the graphic novel focuses on an odd couple of fan-favorite supporting characters with mysterious paths: Iroh, the contemplative former Fire Nation general, and June, a bounty hunter. With the supply of fresh tea into Ba Sing Se hanging in the balance, the duo must face their respective paths. Avatar fans shouldn't hesitate to pick this one up. -- jamie Lovett

Black Cloak #7

• Written by Kelly Thompson
• Art by Meredith McClaren
• Letters by Becca Carey
• Published by Image Comics

Black Cloak 's billing as Saga meets Blade Runner made it a highly-anticipated debut in 2023. While it didn't always hit perfectly with me, its first arc did end on a hell of a high note, making the long wait between its sixth and seventh issues hard to bear. Black Cloak is back this week. The story picks up some years after the previous arc's conclusion. If you haven't read that first arc, check out the trade paperback collection first. Afterward, pick up Black Cloak #7 to see what happens next. -- Jamie Lovett

Giant-Size Thor #1

• Written by Al Ewing
• Art by Brian Level
• Colors by Guru-eFX
• Letters by Joe Sabino
• Published by Marvel Comics

Immortal Thor has been a great series thus far, and this week readers get a slight detour in Giant-Size Thor #1. The most recent arc of Immortal Thor has seen Thor teaming up with Hercules in payment for a debt earned by Hercules' assistance in dealing with "Giant-Size Thor." This issue will reveal what Thor was talking about when he brought that up, and our interest is thoroughly peaked. -- Jamie Lovett

Godzilla Monster Island: Summer Camp

• Written by Rosie Knight
• Art by Oliver Ono
• Published by IDW Publishing

There is no character in fiction who I love quite like I love Minilla. The pint-sized kaiju is brimming with personality and a ridiculous character design, and the controversial response he has earned from the Monsterverse fandom only makes me more endeared to him. This week, IDW helps introduce Minilla to a whole new audience, as he partners with a group of human friends on a colorful and gorgeous adventures. I truly can not wait to add this to my collection. -- Jenna Anderson

Huge Detective #1

• Written by Adam Rose
• Art by Magenta King
• Colors by Magenta King and Minimone
• Letters by DC Hopkins
• Published by Titan Comics

As a fan of both detective noir and fantasy, I'm always thrilled to see these disparate genres collide and Titan Comics' newest series Huge Detective promises exactly that. The series is set in a world where giants reemerged from their ancient slumber and (following a cataclysmic conflict) live alongside humanity. That peaceful new status quo is threatened in Huge Detective #1 compelling Tamaki and Gyant to form a cross-species alliance to investigate a tragedy and the forces behind it. Artist Magenta Rose's loose linework and fantastically expressive figures are well suited to both the grandiose elements of an Earth with giants striding across its surface and the intensity of interrogations; Adam Rose's prior work on Corollary reveals a writer well suited to deftly establishing new worlds and compelling personal adventures within them. Together they make the promise of a human-giant team-up to trawl the streets (no matter how big) for answers seem irresistible. -- Chase Magnett

Jenny Sparks #1

• Written by Tom King
• Art and Colors by Jeff Spokes
• Letters by Clayton Cowles
• Published by DC

Jenny Sparks has always been a character and concept that fascinates me, as her role as "The Spirit of the 20th Century" has had a unique impact on both the Wildstorm and DC universes. As we wait for Jenny's likely live-action debut in DC Studios' forthcoming The Authority movie, Tom King and Jeff Spokes are giving the protagonist her biggest solo outing in years. Between the concept of exploring Jenny as a character, and the supporting role of fan-favorite Captain Atom, I am very excited to see what Jenny Sparks has in store. -- Jenna Anderson

Wolverine: Revenge #1

• Written by Jonathan Hickman
• Art by Greg Capullo and Tim Townsend
• Colors by FCO Plascencia
• Letters by Cory Petit
• Published by Marvel Comics

Artist Greg Capullo returns to Marvel Comics this week in a series that could not be better suited to the all-star's talents in Wolverine: Revenge #1. The new prestige miniseries promises to take Wolverine on a tour of dangerously powerful antagonists who would grind any other hero into ground beef, but that's never stopped Wolverine before. Capullo's detailed line work and flair for the visceral and violent ensures that readers will see their favorite mutant in battles bound to rival the best from across a storied career. While Capullo's presence would be more than sufficient to recommend this title on its aesthetic merits alone, the addition of Jonathan Hickman in the writer's chair ensures that this story will be more than an excuse to witness some outstanding splash pages. Hickman's penchant for smaller stories may be overshadowed by his Marvel epics, but any reader familiar with his bibliography will know that revenge-driven miniseries rest squarely in his wheelhouse, too. Whatever villains are set to appear and tear Wolverine's world apart will possess a plan more substantial than a reason to deliver awesome covers and pages - providing readers a reason to regularly return to this Wolverine classic in the making. -- Chase Magnett
