The Best Comics to Buy for July 31st is a tough one to buy, not because the comics are bad, but because I’m currently on my way back from San Diego Comic-Con…Exhausted. But I persevered, read some comics, and here I am, as always, doling out my usual weekly comic recommendations. You can find them below, along with the usual other lists…enjoy!

Rick and Brian make plans for a house party after shooting the girl of their dreams during a ditch day at the playground, but will Liberty Spike Mike’s disdain for Nancy Reagan derail their dreams?
Why it’s cool: This book is quietly becoming one of my favorite comics of the year. I love the art (almost all of which has a rich and interesting context), the dialogue, and the whole 1980s California skate aesthetic. This feels like a book that will end up on this list every issue – it’s just that good.
price: $3.99
Masterpiece #6

Colorist: ian herring and mumont
Writer: Josh Reed
Publisher: Dark Horse Comics – Jinxworld
The ending is explosive! Emma, a brilliant young woman, has her life turned upside down when the revelation that her long-lost parents were actually famous thieves is revealed.

Emma has now gotten over the fact that she doesn’t know how to do any of these things and has created her own team to carry out her own plan against all the bastards tearing her reality apart. The final big twist is here!
Why it’s cool: Despite their excellence in preparation, heist stories such as masterpiece Almost always judged by their endings…and this one 100% stuck the landing. Aside from the first issue, this is the best issue of the book so far. It’s a satisfying ending with stunning artwork.
price: $3.99
Legend #67
writer: Brian K. Vaughn
artist: Fiona Staples
Writer: phonograph
Publisher: Image comics
“Legend” enters its epic 12th chapter as 12-year-old Hazel embarks on the most important adventure of her young life.
Why it’s cool: Saga Returning this week with a new storyline. This is actually the 12th story arc of the book, which is incredibly impressive in this day and age of short runs and limited series. What’s even more impressive is that the book maintained the exact same creative team throughout its entire publication run. Saga Will not be sending review questions ahead of time, but so far this book has been excellent from start to finish. There’s no reason to have any expectations for this new arc.
price: $3.99
Ultimate Spider-Man #7
writer: Jonathan Hickman
artist: Marco Cecchetto
Colorist: Matt Wilson
Writer: Corey Pettit
Publisher: Marvel Comics
After a fierce battle with the Kingpin, both the Green Goblin and Spider-Man know they are not ready to reshape the world as they had hoped. Harry and Peter get to work, while Ben and Jonah work on the “truth”…and when the Ultimates return, their resistance goes awry!
Why it’s cool: This is where the connectivity of the larger New Ultimate Universe really starts to matter. The book has been great so far, and this issue advances a lot of the story threads in interesting ways.
