Rasmus’ pick: A Mischief of Magpies #1: Mar has a secret. Sometimes, without warning, he falls out of the world. This would be an inconvenience if his life wasn’t already such a drag. When he’s gone, he finds himself in an extraordinary city. A city which is also a machine, endlessly crossing a shoreless ocean.

And between, clowning along the rusting beach, a troupe of anarchic magpies with all the answers but none of the questions. By Si Spurrier and Matias Bergara for DSTLRY. ($8.99)
Scott’s pick: Kingdom of Earth #1: 2036. Two years ago, hordes of monsters rose from the earth and sea, devouring everything in sight.
