The fight for Atlantis is just getting started, and issue #30 sets the stage for the coming civil war that may just tear it apart. While he might not be King any longer, he is still the hero Atlantis needs.

Aquaman #30 is written by Dan Abnett with art by Stjepan Sejic, and you can find the official description below:

"'UNDERWORLD' finale! After Dolphin confronts Aquaman with the horrifying truth of King Rath's new regime, all hope for Atlantis is nearly lost until an emotional reunion with Vulko gives Arthur a renewed sense of purpose. Meanwhile, Mera attempts a dangerous new plan to penetrate the Crown of Thorns and reunite with the love of her life…at the cost of her own soul!"

Jamie Lovett: Doctor Strange #381

There's someone in the Doctor's chair, but it isn't Stephen Strange. Nope, that spot has been filled by the trickster God himself Loki, and your guess is as good as ours as to how he got there. Loki Sorcerer Supreme has quite the frightening ring to it, doesn't it?

Doctor Strange #381 is written by Donny Clay Cates with art by Gabriel Hernandez Walta, and you can find the official description below.

"'LOKI: SORCERER SUPREME' Part 1. Evil is everywhere and the world needs the Sorcerer Supreme more than ever. But is the world ready for LOKI: SORCERER SUPREME? He has the cloak, the spells — he's even got Zelma Stanton as his assistant (and possibly more?) — but is this the chance he needed to become a hero, or is the god of lies dangerously close to unlimited power? And what happened to STEPHEN STRANGE? PLUS: Includes 3 bonus MARVEL PRIMER PAGES!"

Doctor Strange #381 is in stores this Wednesday.

"The United Kingdom's most dreaded intelligence operative delves into the cold, calculating world of espionage and international intrigue! For nearly a century, MI-6, the most elite branch of the Britain's clandestine intelligence service, has honed a ruthlessly effective, top-secret division – THE NINJA PROGRAMME – into one its nation's most finely wielded weapons."

"Tasked as the first and last line of defense for Queen and country, this small shadow army of agents and assassins has produced a succession of notable assets, including NINJA-A, the Queen's silent weapon of World War I; NINJA-E, the globetrotting secret agent that pulled the Cold War back from the brink of Armageddon; and, most recently, NINJA-K, aka Colin King, a brash but fearless instrument of lethality that has saved the world from madmen and terror at every turn. But now…an unknown enemy is hunting and killing members of THE NINJA PROGRAMME one by one – and NINJAK is the next on the list."

Chase Magnett: Maestros #2

Any week that a comic created by Steve Skroce comes out is a good week. Maestros is already shaping up to be one of the creator's best books to date as well. It's perfectly tailored to Skroce's interests and style - lasciviously detailed and indulgent in every regard. The characters are largely amoral and the violence is excessive; every panel is a delight if you aren't looking for heroes or ideals. The second issues is an excellent follow up to the first laying down plenty of new palace intrigue along with each wonderfully crafted new sequence.

Maestros #2 is written and drawn by Steve Skroce with colors by Dave Stewart. The official description is below.

"The Maestro is dead, long live the Maestro! For William Little, being last in line for the throne didn't grant any exemptions from the brutality of Wizarding school, Hogwarts it wasn't. Now, Willy's family is dead and he's the new Maestro, armed with the most powerful spell in creation, he has a few lessons of his own for the mad mages of his new magical kingdom. What could go wrong?"

Maestros #2 is in stores this Wednesday.

Matt Mueller Round 2: Brilliant Trash #1

Brilliant Trash puts the worlds of journalism and superpowers on a collision course, telling a tale of conspiracy in a divided and morally grey world.

Brilliant Trash #1 is written by Tim Seeley with art by Priscilla Petraites, and you can find the official description below.

"In the days to come, a super-powered teenage girl wipes the heavily disputed Old City of Jerusalem from the face of the globe. Now, in American dystopia after the "Lady Last Word Incident", a click-bait headline writing "journalist" holds the key to a med-tech conspiracy that could turn people into gods for the price of days off their lives. But in a world where news is tailored to every viewpoint, will anyone believe her?"

"A sci-fi superhuman epic from Tim Seeley, the writer of Revival and Grayson, and breakout art sensation Priscilla Petraites!"

Brilliant Trash #1 is in stores this Wednesday.
