The top pick for the week goes to They’re Not Like Us #7 (Image) by Eric Stephenson, Simon Gane, and Jordie Bellaire. I’m a big fan of these millennial takes on modernizing the basic X-Men concept of latent adolescent power manifestation, and with Gane’s intricate line work this really feels like something special.

Prez #3 (DC)

East of West #20 (Image)

Low #9 (Image)

Stringers #1 (Oni Press)

Lando #3 (Marvel)
