IDW's Star Trek title has been hit and miss with storylines so far, but they're setting up something pretty cool starting with this month's issue. It was only a matter of time before they bring 'Q' to the center stage.
Picard is mourning Spock, when Q appears and informs him of Spock's situation (Alive in the past of an alternate universe.), he then reveals a few details on the differences of the parallel timelines, then foreshadows the events caused by Spock's crossover will put the new timeline in jeopardy of a certain doom. Picard pleads with Q not to interfere, BUT we all know, Q can't resist toying with a new Starfleet captain.

Rat Queens 1 & 2

I myself do not care for Rat Queens. I find the characters unlikable and, for the most part, very bland (and as a D&D player, I find myself wondering about the mechanics of this world). However, I picked it up because it got good buzz, and it's also nominated for an Eisner for "Best New Series", so clearly some people like it. Perhaps some of you will enjoy it more than I.
Also the series can be fairly bloody, so while I'm not posting the worst of it, fair warning.

"It’s quite a hefty one, being 22 pages and totally inspired by my reading around 1970s German Terrorist groups. Luke Haines ruined me." -- Kieron Gillen
