The Justice League is ready to get metal.

With dozens of comic books to choose from, let us show you which are the best coming out this week. Take a look at this list spotlighting our favorite comics that we know are money-well-spent and new books that look cool and are backed by some top-tier talent.

Check out our picks, then head to the comments to let us know what you’ll be buying this week!

Dark Nights: Metal #1 - $4.99
STL053793

By writer Scott Snyder & artist Greg Capullo | DC

DC Rebirth has been a great experience so far, but we do miss having the superstar team of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo working their magic together. That finally changes as Snyder and Capullo reunite for their most ambitious project yet. Dark Nights: Metal isn't just a continuation of their long Batman run, it's also an epic Justice league story featuring the biggest heroes in the DCU teaming up to confront a terrible evil lurking in the Dark Multiverse.

Given the track record of this team, there's pretty much zero chance that this one won't live up to the hype. But if you want a spoiler-filled taste of the surprises to expect with Metal, find out what shocking cliffhanger will cap off this first issue.

The Ultimates 2 #100 - $4.99
STL054007

By writer Al Ewing & artist Travel Foreman | Marvel

Ultimates 2 is joining in on the legacy numbering game just in time for this franchise to reach the big issue #100 milestone. And appropriately enough, this anniversary issue will be celebrating the past and present of the team as the current Ultimates apparently collide with the original, Ultimate Universe incarnation of the team. Is this a sign that the Ultimate U. is returning? It's hard to say, but given how many Ultimate characters have already survived the fallout of Secret Wars, Marvel could be building towards a full-scale Ultimate revival. Or this could just be a fun tribute to an absent team. Either way, we're on board.

Hercules: Wrath of the Heavens #1 - $5.99
Hercules-Walt-Simonson-Cover-A-1

By writer Jean-David Moran & artist Looky | Titan

Hercules is pretty much the original superhero, and it's no surprise there have been many incarnations of the character in comics. But this latest take on the super-strong demigod looks like it'll stand out from the pack. Wrath of the Heavens takes a distinctly sci-fi-flavored approach to the 12 Labors of Hercules, as Herc travels the galaxy battling robotic lions and seeking redemption for his tragic past. If Dark Nights: Metal doesn't give you a strong enough heavy metal fix this week, maybe this book will do the trick.

Locke & Key: Heaven & Earth Deluxe Edition HC - $14.99
STL048793

By writer Joe Hill & artist Gabriel Rodriguez | IDW

This hardcover doesn't feature any new Locke & Key material, but given that it collects a handful of hard-to-find tales, it may be as good as new for some readers. Heaven & Earth reprints three one-shots, "Grindhouse," "In the Can" and the Eisner-winning "Open the Moon!" Even if you have read these tales, it's nice to have them all collected in one place, and in a deluxe, oversized format, to boot.
