What are your top 3 or 4 books at the top of your reading list this week?
*This does not take the place of "This Weeks Comics", which is also an important part of the discussion, so Jeff, please do continue that!!
We all have them, our favorite or most anticipated new books that we want to try. And when they hit, we can't wait to get our grubby little hands on them. They are the first 2 to 4 books that our bright eyes gaze upon, pushing all others to the "I will read them when I have more time" slot. Yes, for these books we make time, damn it. These ... above all others!!!
Here is my Top of the Stack for this week.
Book 1 - Renalto Jones: The One % #1 (Image) - From the artistic talent of Kaare Andrews (Iron Fist) comes an angry book about revenge. Not an attack on the wealthy people, but an attack on the wealthy people that are assholes!?!?!? Kaare Andrews describes it this way (from Image's website) -
"Batman was a billionaire kid who watched his billionaire parents die at the hands of a poor street thug trying to keep his family alive. Batman didn't declare war against crime, he declared war against the impoverished. The world today doesn't need Batman. The jails are over-run with the poor. The true criminals, the ones that aren't prosecuted... are protected by money and position. They bankrupt our country, take our jobs, take our homes, kill hope and compassion. And profit from all of it. Today's world needs someone who can make THEM pay. The ONEs. Today's world needs RENATO JONES... It's not Revenge. It's Restitution."

Oh yes!!!! I have been waiting for this for sooooo long. Since the first issue of his Iron Fist mini I knew I was going to follow this creator wherever he went, whatever he worked on. And while Iron Fist didn't finish as strong as I (or others) had hoped
, the artistic flare this guy brings to the page is enough for me to give this book "the 'ole three issue go". It will be the first book I read this week.
Here's to revenge!!!
And that is about it for this week
Sure there are books I want to check out, but more of a "I will get to them" feel more than a "I have to read this ASAP" feel that deserves the label "Top of the Stack".
Hows abouts youse guys? Is there a book or issue that you will be heading for first when it hits this Wednesday? Or more than one? Let us know.
And on a side note, I do know one issue I will be adding to the top of my read pile when it hits (maybe in three weeks? I have not seen it yet, but is suppose to release in May) is Satellite Falling. This book looks as if Blade Runner was happening on the Star Wars capital of Coruscant
I mean this looks incredible and I hope you all try it.
Take a peek
HERE and tell me if that just doesn't have you wanting to try it?
Satellite Falling will be my Top of the Stack when it hits, without question ... well ... unless it comes out late and hits the same week that DC Rebirth issue comes out.
