Here are the ComicBookPage picks of the month:
DC
SUPERMAN #18
(W) Peter J. Tomasi, Patrick Gleason (A/CA) Patrick Gleason, Mick Gray
“SUPERMAN REBORN” part one! In DC UNIVERSE: REBIRTH #1, the enigmatic Mr. Oz told this Superman, “You and your family are not what you believe you are. And neither was the fallen Superman.” Now, in the first Rebirth crossover between SUPERMAN and ACTION COMICS, the shocking truth behind Oz’s words is revealed. It begins with one of Oz’s prisoners escaping, and ends in a tragic moment for Lois and Superman. The covers by Patrick Gleason and Mick Gray and the variant covers by Gary Frank for SUPERMAN #18-19 and ACTION COMICS #975-976 will connect to form a single vertical image. (STL036929)
32pgs, FC SRP: $2.99
IDW
STAR TREK DEVIATIONS #1
(W) Donny Cates (A/CA) Josh Hood
In a world where the Romulans discovered Earth before the Vulcans, Earth is now a brutal penal colony. Resistance fighter William Riker has uncovered a vast conspiracy, and together with his band of prisoner outlaws (you just might recognize a few!), must fight to rescue a mysterious prisoner in the darkest level of the Romulan dungeons. The only man on Earth that still holds the key to humanity's return to the stars! (STL036497)

MAGDALENA #1
(W) Tini Howard, Ryan Cady (A) Christian Dibari
SERIES PREMIERE! The Magdalena has always defended the world from demonic evil, empowered by the blood of Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene in her veins. But when a brush with death leaves her gravely wounded, Patience decides to seek out the next in the bloodline and train her replacement. The replacement, meanwhile, is having enough trouble with finding her purpose even without the whole holy-warrior gig. (STL036803)
32pgs, FC SRP: $3.99
COPPERHEAD #11
(W) Jay Faerber (A) Drew Moss, Ron Riley (CA) Scott Godlewski, Ron Riley
NEW STORY ARC! Critically acclaimed COPPERHEAD returns with new artist DREW MOSS!

VAUGHAN called this his "favorite new comic." (STL037481)

MARVEL
AMERICA #1
At last! Everyone’s favorite no-nonsense powerhouse, America Chavez, gets her own series!
Written by critically-acclaimed YA novelist Gabby Rivera (Juliet Takes A Breath) and drawn by all-star artist Joe Quinones (HOWARD THE DUCK), Marvel Comics’ brand new AMERICA series shines a solo spotlight on the high-octane and hard-hitting adventures of the one and only America Chavez! America has always been uncontestably awesome, and as the newly appointed leader of the Ultimates, she’s now officially claimed her place as the preeminent butt-kicker of the Marvel Universe! But while leading a team of heroes and punching out big bads is great and all, it doesn’t really leave much time for self-discovery… So what’s a super-powered teenager do when she’s looking for a little fulfillment? She goes to college! She just has to stop an interdimensional monster or two first, plus shut down a pesky alien cult that’s begun worshipping her exploits!
Rated T+ (STL037498)

IT SECRET WORLD OF MODERN BANKING #1 (OF 5)
(W/A/CA) Scott McDaniel
From Scott McDaniel, the acclaimed artist of Nightwing and Daredevil! Bank Information Technology expert Evan Adonis works at the nexus of the bank's communications and data networks. The executives' corruption, lies, revenge and abuse he discovers is terrifying. In the internally corrupt world of modern banking, the IT expert is both the most powerful asset and the most hunted liability. (STL035896)
24pgs, FC (1 of 5) SRP: $3.99
VALIANT ENTERTAINMENT
X-O MANOWAR #1 LAROSA COVER
(W) Matt Kindt (A) Tomas Giorello (CA) Lewis LaRosa
Born under the oppressive thumb of the Roman Empire, Aric of Dacia learned warfare at an early age.
It was amid such violence that he was abducted by an alien race. Forced into slavery, he survived where others perished. His escape would come from bonding with a weapon of immeasurable power: the X-O Manowar armor. With it, he returned to Earth...only to find himself stranded in the modern day.
But that was a lifetime ago. Now, far from home on a strange and primitive new world, Aric has begun a new life. Liberated from his past, he tends to his crops. Free from war. Free from violence. Free from the armor.
But the machinery of death marches his way once again. Conscripted into an alien army and thrown into an unforgiving conflict, the fury inside him finds voice as he is forced to embrace the armor once more. With it, he will decimate armies, topple empires and incite interplanetary warfare as he rises from SOLDIER to GENERAL to EMPEROR to VISIGOTH. They wanted a weapon. He will give them war! (STL037088)
