There are numerous standouts and new titles starting this week.  Here are just a few suggestions to consider during your visit to the store.  For more options check the full listing of new books at the New Releases section of our site.

1) Captain America: Man Out of Time #1

Another offering in what is guaranteed to be a slew of  miniseries leading up to the Cap movie, this one stands out because it features Mark Waid‘s return to the character.  Waid’s run on Cap in the ’90’s is duly regarded as one of the preeminent superhero runs from that decade, and it’s nice to see him back writing the ‘man out of time.’  Focusing on Cap’s transition from ’40’s life to modernity, Waid and collaborator Jorge Molina should make this one especially worthwhile among the many Cap series floating around Marveldom.

2) Superboy #1

While it was inevitable that Superboy would eventually get another solo title, I doubt many of us expected it to be written by Jeff Lemire.  The writer/artist behind critically acclaimed books like the Essex County Trilogy and Sweet Tooth might be relatively new to mainstream superhero comics but his track record speaks for itself.  Alongside artist Pier Gallo, don’t be surprised if Superboy ends up adding even more acclaim to Lemire’s comic catalogue.

3) Generation Hope #1

Marvel’s been building their X family up to this new title for a while now and it should be a quick seller.  Focusing on Hope, the mutant savior from the Messiah Complex arc, we’ll see how she and other X-men deal with the first five mutants to be discovered since House of M.  This one’s brought to you by the up-and-coming talents of writer Kieron Gillen and artist Salva Espin.

4) Invincible #75

Less than a week after his Walking Dead series came to television, Robert Kirkman celebrates another milestone with the anniversary of his other big Image title.  Alongside Kirkman are regular contributers Ryan Ottley and Cory Walker, who are both on hand to continue the recent story of Invincible off world in a space war.  Not only is this issue 48 pages, but you also get a Science Dog back up story from Kirkman and Walker.

5) Xenozoic Complete Collection TP

Mark Schultz‘s legendary series is finally back in print and collected in one handy volume.  It’s great that the whole 350 page story is all together again in a new trade, but it’s even better that it’s all in glorious black and white!  This is a great pick for anyone who, like me, never got around to reading all the Xenozoic Tales the first time around, or for anyone who never read any of them but is intrigued by the possibilities of a comic that manages to blend sci-fi, fantasy, pulp, a post apocalyptic world, and plenty of dinosaurs.

> Bonus picks of the week:  Batman and Robin #16, Absolute All Star Superman HC, the third Oz adaptation from Eric Shanower and Skottie Young starts with Ozma of Oz #1, Avengers Academy #6, the final issue of Vertigo’s underappreciated modern war series, Unknown Soldier #25, and Strange Tales 2 #2, which features contributions from the Hernandez Bros.
