It is time once again to highlight the upcoming comics that I’m looking forward to the most, the ones that are On My Radar:
Amazing Spider-Man #1.5
Creative Team
Dan Slott and Humberto Ramos
Solicitation
“THE CLIMACTIC CONCLUSION OF ‘LEARNING TO CRAWL!’ We all know what Uncle Ben told Peter about power and responsibility, but there were some secrets he kept from Peter . . . Discover Clash’s fate that kept him secret all these years!”
Why I’m Looking Forward To It
The final issue of the flashback arc brings us the answer of what happened to Clash. Why has the villain never resurfaced after all these years? How will Peter beat this foe that is seemingly smarter than him? And what are these secrets of Uncle Ben’s? These are three very enticing questions that will be answered right here.

Booster Gold: Futures End #1
Creative Team
Dan Jurgens and Others
Solicitation
“Trapped out of time on a world that defies reason, Booster Gold struggles to escape the fate that has held him and so many forgotten heroes captive!”
Why I’m Looking Forward To It
It is pretty simple: this issue features one of my Top 5 DC comic characters in the form of Booster Gold. I don’t need to know anything else but that!

Ghostbusters #20
Creative Team
Erik Burnham and Dan Schoening
Solicitation
“THE FINAL ISSUE OF GHOSTBUSTERS! Mass Hysteria comes to an end and the Ghostbusters discover the price of driving Tiamat from the city, county, and state of New York! But just because the Big Bad is beaten, it doesn’t mean psychokinetic shenanigans are on the wane–there’s always another job on deck for the boys (and girls!) in grey! Don’t miss the bombastically chaotic conclusion to IDW’s ghoulishly ground-breaking Ghostbusters run! ”
Why I’m Looking Forward To It
Since 2011, Burnham and Schoening have continued to impress me with their collective effort but sadly the time has come to bid adieu to IDW’s ongoing Ghostbusters series. I expect them to hold nothing back with their last effort, a fact which could see this issue be the very best of the week’s offerings. Thank you Burnham and Schoening, thank you!

Harley Quinn: Futures End #1
Creative Team
Amanda Conner, Jimmy Palmiotti, and Chad Hardin
Solicitation
“Harley and The Joker make it legal at last! Follow the happy couple to their secret honeymoon spot, where it’s literally till death do they part!”
Why I’m Looking Forward To It
Something that will never occur in the DCU proper will happen in this issue as Harley and Mister J tie the knot. Anytime these two appear in a book together we get sparks and drama so the honeymoon should not disappoint.

Secret Avengers #8
Creative Team
Ales Kot and Michael Walsh
Solicitation
“‘M.O.D.O.K. SUPREME EXTRAVAGANZA’ M.O.D.O.K.’S ORIGIN STORY. YOU HEARD RIGHT. How do you know what we tell you here is true? You don’t. But you’re into it. Why? Because we love you. And it shows. Disco? Yes. Abandonment issues? Definitely. Was that a pun? Maybe. Is that a romance brewing? Are we still lying to you? CLAP FOR M.O.D.O.K.!”
Why I’m Looking Forward To It
The reveal of M.O.D.O.K.’s origin should be highly entertaining and the issue as a whole will most assuredly contain that trademark wit and zaniness that each and every issue possesses. Arguably this series is the best Avengers title on the stands today.

With that said, the final tally stands at DC Comics (14 Issues), Marvel (8 Issues), and Independent (2 Issues). So that’s my Pull List for the week. What’s yours? What comics are you most looking forward to? Comment below!
The Speech Bubble 
All-New Ghost Rider, Loki, Mighty Avengers, My Little Pony, New Warriors and Storm. Kind of a lame weak, actually.
Wait, there’s a Ghostbusters comics? I gotta look that up right now.
Yes it was a mighty good series (both volumes) and the artist is not only very talented but a real nice guy in person as well. 🙂
It’s a fairly average pickup list for me next week.
Tomb Raider 8 (starting to consider dropping the title, but I’ll give it a few more issues)
Red Sonja 12
Amazing Spider-Man 1.5
Amazing X-Men 11 (might drop it after the Wendigo storyline finishes)
Cyclops 5
Guardians of the Galaxy 19
Magneto 10
Storm 3
Thanks for sharing.
I picked up the first issues of Tomb Raider and Cyclops but neither series really grabbed me right off the bat and with an already crowded pull-list I didn’t continue with them.
GOTG #19 just missed my Top 5 as I’m excited to see the resolution to the Thanos-Quill-Nova storyline and Magneto started out slow but has been getting progressively better each time an issue comes out.
Yeah, the only reason I’m still reading Tomb Raider is because I enjoyed the game and usually enjoy Gail Simone’s writing. It’s certainly not her best work though.
