Our wallets are somewhat spared this week for the first time in a long time but that doesn’t mean that we aren’t getting a few quality titles from the big two. Also this week, after numerous delays, the third issue of Image United finally arrives in a shop near you! You read that right! Image United #3 is available this week as well as a handful of Batman books from DC, a heap of Avengers titles from Marvel plus many more.

Let’s check out our Top 3, including our first tie for the #1 spot!

#3 – BATMAN: STREETS OF GOTHAM #15 (DC)

Tommy Elliot’s life-and-death experience in the present sheds light on some interesting secrets about Thomas and Martha Wayne in the past. What is the mysterious connection? Guest-starring Catwoman!

#2 – THUNDERBOLTS #147 (Marvel)

Guest-starring the Avengers Academy! A scared-straight visit from the next generation of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes goes horribly wrong and Luke Cage isn’t sure which of his Thunderbolts he can count on to regain control of The Raft! Also, can Cage keep objective when he realizes one of the prisoners is the man who once controlled his wife: the sinister Purple Man?

#1 – SECRET AVENGERS #4 / NEW AVENGERS #3 (Marvel)

The fate of one hero and the birth of another will be decided here, as the Secret Avengers true enemy is finally exposed! It’s an all-new kind of Avengers by award-winning writer Ed Brubaker and acclaiming artist Mike Deodato, Jr. (Secret Avengers #4)

Who is the true master of the mystic arts? Well, it ain’t Doctor Strange and it ain’t Doctor Voodoo. The bad news is he’s here and he is in charge. And he is gleefully ripping this dimension apart, piece by piece, in his search for relics of power. How are the legacies of Iron Fist, Doctor Strange and Wolverine connected? Find out here in this brand new eye-popper from Bendis and Immonen! (New Avengers #3)
