Our picks this week. Click the links to order from Amazon.

The old order changeth once again in a glorious, fan-favorite period for Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, the Avengers!

The Avengers welcome the powerful new Captain Marvel, Monica Rambeau, into their ranks — just in time to witness the trial of one of their stalwart members, Hank Pym! Then, Thanos’ fun-loving brother Starfox joins the roster for an adventure to the Inhumans’ refuge on the moon and an uncanny team-up of sorts with the Fantastic Four — which will have lasting repercussions for the Vision! As Scarlet Witch fears for her synthezoid husband, Doctor Strange seeks her aid on a search for the Darkhold! But will a cash-strapped Spider-Man find gainful employment as the newest Avenger? Super villains cause pandemonium at Project Pegasus, and Hawkeye goes solo — but when Clint Barton meets Mockingbird, Cupid is the one firing all the arrows!

Collecting AVENGERS (1963) #227-237 and ANNUAL 12, AMAZING SPIDER-MAN ANNUAL (1964) #16, FANTASTIC FOUR (1961) #256, DOCTOR STRANGE (1974) #60, and HAWKEYE (1983) #1-4.

On Themyscira, she is known as Diana, but to the rest of the world, she is called Wonder Woman due to her strength, bravery, and courage!

In her first DC Finest collection, we land in the beginning of acclaimed writer Gail Simone’s (Birds of Prey) fan-favorite era that delved heavily into the history and mythology of the Amazons. These stories, including “The Circle,” “Ends of the Earth,” and “Rise of the Olympian,” saw Diana facing classic foes like Captain Nazi, literary monsters such as Grendel, and, of course, her longtime nemesis Ares.

Each DC Finest volume is the perfect starting point to get acquainted with a character and jump into tales that have contributed to their rich histories!

DC Finest: Wonder Woman: Origins & Omens collects these Wonder Woman issues from October 2007 to 2009: WONDER WOMAN (2006) #14-35, OUTSIDERS: FIVE OF A KIND—WONDER WOMAN/GRACE #1, and THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD #7.

Here is the volume that started it all, Asterix the Gaul! We are introduced to the indomitable hero, Asterix, and his diehard friends, like Obelix, as they defend one Gaulish village from the surrounding Roman invaders. Published with new historical context on the creators, the comic process and the time period in which ASTERIX was published, and now bound in a collector's item format with a beautiful gold foil treatment.
