From one side of the comic spectrum, we switch over to the other with Marvel's comic book buy list for this week! There are A LOT of Marvel books coming out this week, so obviously everything couldn't make a list, but if it didn't make the Top 3 be sure to look in the notable section at the end to see if your favorite book made it!

Title: The Punisher #1
Price: $3.99
Writer: Nathan Henry Edmondson
Artist: Mitch Gerads

Premise: For years, The Punisher has waged a war on crime in New York City with an array of very large guns, but a lead on a major source of drugs, weapons, and more has set his many sights due west. NOW! Frank Castle's in the City of Angels, looking to give the devil his due. Things aren't all they appear, though, with a highly trained military hit squad hot on Frank's tail. Caught between a posse of Punisher predators and targets of his own one-man-war, Frank's manifest destiny may be a shallow grave!

As Asgardia's one-man secret service, he's ready to lie, cheat, steal, bluff and snog his way through the twistiest, turniest and most treacherous missions the All-Mother can throw at him... starting with a heart-stopping heist on Avengers Tower - and the death of Thor! And that's just the beginning! Would we lie to you? This is LOKI, true believer - we're lying to you RIGHT NOW!

Publisher: Marvel Comics
Title: Infinity: New Avengers #012
Price: $3.99
Writer: Jonathan Hickman
Art: Mark Deodato

After saving the world from the builders and the evil Thanos, what is next for the Avengers?

Story Summary(some spoilers)

New Avengers #012 takes place right after the end of Infinity #006 and gives us more of an idea of things to come. Black Panther is banned from Wakana for bringing Namor into the dead city, Dr. Strange has locked himself inside of the Sanctum Sanctorum  and Black Swan promises the Avengers that the Builders and Thanos were just the beginning of something bigger to happen

Review of the Book

This is going to be a short review simply because it's just wrapping up infinity and laying things out for future marvel events. It's a good wrap up book and I am really excited to see what happens in future Marvel events. The art was beautiful yet again, especially the way Black Swan was drawn was just amazing.

Pros, Cons, & Rating 

PROS: Good setup/wrap up book for Infinity and Future events, beautiful art
CONS: Was this book really necessary?

RATING: 7/10. Good book but not 100% necessary
