Welcome back to another edition of Fantastic Five, where we shout out the very best comics of the week! This week was a big one for Marvel, including the release of two hugely anticipated #1s. However, the top spot went to Transformers. Let’s take a look at the books!
#5: Wolverine #41
If you weren’t yet, Wolverine #41 will get you excited for “Sabretooth War.” This is a take-no-prisoners story that’s as bloodthirsty as it is wicked.

#4: Rise of the Powers of X #1
Rise of the Powers of X #1 continues laying the foundation for the end of the Krakoan Age with a creative team that’s more than willing to swing for the fences. Even if this period of X-Men comics is at an end, it’s willing to go back to its roots in more ways than one.

#3: Sensational She-Hulk #4
Sensational She-Hulk remains grounded in a way only Marvel Comics superheroes are. Thi sis the world outside our window, complete with crappy day jobs and messy friends. Sensational She-Hulk is brilliantly energetic and deeply real.

#2: Ultimate Spider-Man #1
Ultimate Spider-Man is like a warm blanket to the reader who wants to see Peter Parker have a great possible future. Sure, Hickman will likely blow it all up quickly because where’s the drama in a happy life, but it’s nice to see how well he’s written this character. This book has a lot of love, from the art to the character work, and it’s pretty clear we’re in great hands. Its strength lies in the interplay between characters with intriguing twists on what we know about Spider-Man that readers will love to unravel.

#1: Transformers #4
Another fantastic issue of this fantastic comic. Transformers is absolutely my favorite book on shelves right now, and that’s saying a lot with how many books I like right now from the Big Two alone. It’s a book that’s managed to shock and excite me literally every single time, and I can’t say that about many comics. Get yourself a copy, and roll out.
