Old Man Logan begins his solo adventures in the new Marvel universe, Bloodshot jumps into the future for The Analog Man arc, and Jarhead meets Pans Labyrinth in Cry Havoc #1. After shoveling all that snow last weekend, it's time to kick back and relax with some new comics. Here are our picks of the week:
CRY HAVOC #1 (MR) | Picked by Colin
Publisher: IMAGE COMICS
(W) Simon Spurrier (A/CA) Ryan Kelly
BEHOLD THE MODERN MONSTROSITY.
X-Men Legacy writer SIMON SPURRIER and superstar artist RYAN KELLY present fiends, fragility, and firepower in an all-new series, mixing the hard-boiled militaria of Jarhead with the dark folklore of Pan's Labyrinth. Includes an unprecedented use of multiple colorists (MATT WILSON, LEE LOUGHRIDGE, & NICK FILARDI) to define the story's threads, and an incredible variant cover by Eisner Award winner CAMERON STEWART. This is not the tale of a lesbian werewolf who goes to war. Except it kind of is.

OLD MAN LOGAN #1 | Picked by Colin
Publisher: MARVEL COMICS
(W) Jeff Lemire (A/CA) Andrea Sorrentino
Fifty years from now, Logan -- the man who no longer calls himself Wolverine -- will have endured many atrocities: The Marvel Universe's villains will have banded together and rid the world of its heroes. Logan's closest friend, Hawkeye, will have been murdered in cold blood right before his eyes. And driven mad by the same radiation that gave him his superhuman strength, Bruce Banner will have fathered a family of hillbilly Hulks...that eventually went on to slaughter Logan's wife and two children. But now, in the present, Old Man Logan wakes up to discover himself in a world before these atrocities, before the Wasteland. And he's going to seize this opportunity and change history to ensure that his future never comes to pass...
