Each and every week, I, “Sports Reference!” Henchman 21 and “Movie Reference!” Empress Eve read a lot of comics. Seriously you guys, a lot of comics. Maybe too many comics. I mean, it is possible”¦ theoretically. Naturally, we look forward to some more than others. I mean, who doesn’t? So, let’s take a look into the depths of our pull lists, grab some comics, and we’ll let YOU know what the top books to look forward to are for the week of October 14, 2015. Single issues and trades, they’re all here.

This is a week with a lot of prestige books by some of the greatest creators working in comics from a lot of different companies. This is a very good week for new releases, with a couple of titles that are shoe-ins to win some major awards next year. And there are plenty of other great books, including plenty of new Marvel titles, but we can only cover so many. So let’s get to telling you about some spectacular picks on The GoD List!

H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu stories have had a profound effect on a multitude of people for almost a century. They have inspired any number of books, games, and toys that continues on to this very day. As a matter of fact, I sit here with a Pop! figurine of Cthulhu on my desk inspiring me as I write this article! And having said that, I am proud to be able to present to you a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo for Beyond Lovecraft, a wondrous graphic novel that stays true to the original tales by taking the reader to some unpredictable and desolate places via sequential art. Four stories, all tied together with a single theme. What more could you ask for, right?

Well, how about Rob Moran providing all the art? That’s all it took to get me hooked. Well, that and he contacted me personally to let me know about it. I’ve been a fan for years, as his artwork is impeccable. He has a certain noir, macabre twist to much of his work that gives it far more depth than most artists can muster on their best days. He’s teamed up with writer Jasper Bark to create this amazing 96-page graphic novel for us.

On Thursday, Marvel Studios made the surprising announcement that they had scheduled an Ant-Man sequel entitled Ant-Man and the Wasp to be released on the plum July 6, 2018 date that had once belonged to Black Panther, which saw its release moved up to February 16 of that year. Meanwhile, the studio’s first female-oriented feature, the cosmic adventure Captain Marvel, once again had its release bumped now going from November 2, 2018 to March 8, 2019.

Captain Marvel has been in development at the studio for years, but it wasn’t until October 2014 when Marvel chairman Kevin Feige formally announced that the film would be released on July 6, 2018 as part of their Phase Three slate. Then Marvel and Sony managed to work out a deal over the rights to Spider-Man and yet another reboot was given the green light for a July 2017 release in between Marvel’s offerings for that year – Guardians of the Galaxy V.2 and Thor: Ragnarok. As a result, Captain Marvel lost its opening day to Black Panther and was moved back to the November 2, 2018 slot that it was recently forced to vacate.

At New York Comic-Con on Thursday, the Comic Book Men panel hit the Empire Stage with Kevin Smith acting as moderator to panel members Michael Zapcic, Ming Chen, Bryan Johnson, and Walt Flanagan.

They started with a clip that showed the utter coolness of the AMC television show, the self-described “Pawn Stars” of comic books, showcasing such geeky guests as Ernie Hudson selling comics out of an ice-cream truck, Jason Mewes with his adorable baby, Peter Mayhew, Billy Dee Williams, William Shatner, Stan Lee, Adam West, and DMC. Yes, DMC, “Comic books is my whole existence.”

There was just so much in this panel. Check below for more, along with some photos.

Robert Kirkman made an appearance on Thursday at New York Comic-Con to talk about the upcoming sixth season of the AMC television series The Walking Dead, which is based on his long-running comic book series.

During the panel, titled “The Walking Dead’: An Inside Look with Robert Kirkman,” Kirkman, who is an executive producer on the show, as well as one of its writers, said that Season 6 will have lots of cliffhangers at the end of very episode. He also talked about Lennie James’s return as Morgan, his favorite zombie kills, and the future of the Fear the Walking Dead.
