The hits just keep on coming. It’s been another big week here at HQ and with NYCC just a day away, it pretty safe to say that the week is not over yet! However it is Wednesday and you know what that means. New Comics! This week the list continues to grow with over  40 titles released on comiXology the Same Day as Print. Now let’s take a look at what’s hot this week.

Let’s Get Digital:

Batwoman #2- Can Batwoman stop the new evil rising from the damp back alleys of Gotham’s barrios? And overcome the many challenges she faces as both Batwoman and Kate Kane? 2011′s most anticipated new series intensifies in this exciting second issue!

Pigs #2- ‘WAYWARD SON’ Who is the White Russian? Why do the Pigs need him? And how deep does loyalty go when the ones you love are terrorists? Witness the ongoing saga of a second generation KGB Cuban sleeper cell by NATE COSBY (Jim Henson’s Storyteller), BEN McCOOL (MEMOIR, CHOKER) & BRENO TEMURA.

Collected Editions and Graphic Novels:

From Hell- NOTE: This comic contains mature content. From Hell features the story of Jack the Ripper, the most infamous serial murderer of all time. Alan Moore names Dr. Gull as the villain and creates the most compelling and terrifying psychological study ever undertaken. All the conspiracies and cover-ups are considered and bound together in this vortex of terror. A gripping crime noir masterpiece of historical fiction.

Richard Stark’s Parker: The Hunter & The Outfit: Darwyn Cooke, Eisner-Award-winning writer/artist, sets his artistic sights on bringing to life one of the true classics of crime fiction: Richard Stark’s Parker. Stark was a pseudonym used by the revered and multi-award-winning author, Donald Westlake. The Hunter, the first book in the Parker series, is the story of a man who hits New York head-on like a shotgun blast to the chest. Betrayed by the woman he loved and double-crossed by his partner in crime, Parker makes his way cross-country with only one thought burning in his mind – to coldly exact his revenge and reclaim what was taken from him!

New and Noteworthy:

Moonlighting #1 & #2- Billy is your average teenage girl. She lives in a trailor with her drunk mom, she has a high school boyfriend, and oh yeah, she’s a superhero when she sleeps. Will Billy find true love, or will she end up at the bottom of a lake?

Power Play #1- Extreme sports just got an upgrade! No more skateboards, rollerblades or BMX bikes, when these superpowered kids take to the streets, there’s no telling what they can and will do in this underground, full contact, no-holds barred sports league. From all across NYC they come to do battle, pitting their powers against one another in do-it-yourself style Olympics. They fight for fame, they fight for glory, they fight to be the the Power Play champion–and in the middle of all of this is Mac, a college student looking for direction and purpose in the big city. Who will be crowned King of the Five Boroughs? Power Play, the super-powered street games starts here!
