SAMMI'S PICK - Monster High Shock and Aww! #1 (IDW Publishing)

When we started Sammi's Picks, none of us realized that Monster High would be the most consistently beloved series that she would keep recommending! But sweet!

Thundercats: Pumyra #1 (Dynamite Entertainment)

Wow! An actual factual character study of a one-shot that's both worth reading AND gets me interested in checking out the Thundercats comics. Yes, that makes it weird when I pronounce Pumyra three different ways. Still a great read though.  THUNDERCATS: PUMYRA #1, written by Ed Brisson, art by Alice Leclert, colors by Arancia Studio, with letters by Jeff Eckleberry.

Space Scouts #1 (Dark Horse Comics, Flux House)

There's always something healing about watching a reluctant heroine go through the equivalent of a Mr. Beast video to only get shoved into a warzone. Lovely.  SPACE SCOUTS #1, written by Matt Kindt, with art, colors and letters with David Rubin.

Death Dog #1 (Ahoy Comics)

It's just a simple sci-fi story about a boy and his robotic security dog that has no problem biting off arms to save his newfound - but reluctant - owner. Awesome.  DEATH DOG #1 written by Bryce Ingman, art by Alan Robinson, colors by Paul Little, with letters by Rob Steen.

Planet She-Hulk #1 (Marvel Comics)

Of course this is a treat and a half. The exasperated She-Hulk has to deal with being the ruler of a planet that really doesn't want to be ruled. It's fun, funny and action-packed goodness. PLANET SHE-HULK #1, written by Stephanie Phillips, art by Aaron Kuder, colors by Sonia Oback, with letters by Joe Caramagna.
