Hey Everyone, Welcome Back to the final weekly picks for 2025. I don't think there will be a ton of books released but I'm ready to jump in. We have some great comic under $5, some great collections under $20.
The Comics Picks under $5
ESCAPE #5 (OF 5) $3.99
(W) Rick Remender (A/CA) Daniel Acuna
This was one of the picks for BEST OF 2025 by the CBY Indie Community. If you aren't getting this, it might be time to check it out. Its also by my favorite comic writer. So that's just another reason.
From the Solicits:
The wreckage is still smoldering.
As enemy soldiers tighten their grip on a devastated village, Milton must risk everything to stop a weapon that could change the course of the war. But inside these broken walls, not everyone is ready to fight again.
RADIANT BLACK #39 IMAGE $3.99
(W) Kyle Higgins, Joe Clark (A) Marcelo Costa (CA) Felipe Watanabe
Its hard to pick my favorite non-big 2 title, but this one is definitely up there. Lots of experimentation with the medium and going on nearly 40 issues.
From the Solicits:
With Chicago on edge, Marshall tries to carve out one single normal evening—but something wrong is looming on the HORIZON, and sometimes all it takes is a spark...
THUNDERCATS LOST #10 Dynamite $4.99
(W) Ed Brisson (A) Rapha Lobosco (CA) Declan Shalvey
This is the final issue of ThunderCats Lost before whatever team THUNDERCATS have in store as both this and the main book, ThunderCats are both ending but a continuation has been hinted towards.
From the Solicits:
MISSION’S END! This is it — the last stand of the Lost Team! Alone, starving, and without hope, the desperate Thunderans need a miracle. But when a shadowy figure suddenly appears in their midst, will the mysterious stranger prove to be their savior — or their nemesis? Worlds collide in the conclusive tenth issue of THUNDERCATS: LOST, setting the stage for one of the most important moments in ThunderCats history! Don’t miss this epochal finale from author ED BRISSON and artist RAPHA LOBOSCO — featuring suitably stentorian covers from LOBOSCO, DECLAN SHALVEY, ALFREDO CARDONA, MEGHAN HETRICK, and MARCO FAILLA!
The Collections Picks under $20
HANGING TP VOL 01 $18.00
(W/A/CA) Aaron Losty
This was not one I'd heard of but imagine a world so close to the nuclear apocalypse so literally, with the worlds nukes just floating a mile above the earth, ready to fall at a moment's notice.
From the Solicits:
The nukes are falling.In the near future an unseen alien plot has launched every nuclear missile on earth. The nukes are falling.But they have all stopped one mile short of their target and are left hanging in the air. The nukes are falling. Set in the global, social and economic collapse many years after the hanging event, we follow one family’s quest to secure meal tokens.The nukes are falling.

PALE KNIGHT TP MAD CAVE $17.99
(W) Peter Milligan (A) Val Rodrigues (CA) Nick Marinkovich
Jimmy, co-host of the Cryptid Creator Corner, sat down with Peter Milligan back in May and was really excited about this book. If you want to heard the episode before picking up this trade, here you go: https://cryptidcreatorcorner.com/episode/peter-milligan-interview-the-pale-knight
From the Solicits
England, 1349. Sir Hugh de Grey, the Pale Knight, returns from war to find a land ravaged by the Black Death, and his son dying of the plague. When he prays to God to save his son’s life, it is not God who answers–but Death himself. And Death is willing to cut a deal. The Pale Knight is a horrifying descent into a phantasmagorical Hell.
THE TRAVELER COMPLETE COLLECTION BOOM STUDIOS $19.99
(W)Stan Lee, Mark Waid, Tom Peyer (A) Chad Hardin
This series was originally released 15 years ago and this is the 1st time it will be collected. It was a part of a universe with a trio of books including Soldier Zero and Starborn, I was a big fan of Soldier Zero at the time, I never caught up with the Traveler and I'm glad its being collected for a second chance.
From the Solicits:
20 For 20! Celebrate 20 years of BOOM! Studios with the epic science fiction magnum opus, collected in its entirety for the very first time.
