6. Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. #5 by Marc Guggenheim & German Peralta (Marvel Comics) $3.99
“It’s about time that they brought Grant Ward into the comics. Despite feelings towards his character in the show, there’s no denying that he has left his mark even if he is from the cinematic universe.”

7. Ninjak #15 by Matt Kindt & Diego Bernard (Valiant Comics) $3.99
“This really is a drastic change in direction for Colin. The man with almost everything now having nothing and on the run. Not the big man on top right now, and easy pickings for our obvious villain who is just waiting right around the corner to make her move.”
