Such a good week for comics! With DC taking the crown of most releases this week compared to Marvel. We saw Absolute Wonder Woman #17 in our Most Wanted on Monday. But it looks like Detective Comics #1106 beat that today! Here are a few books that were hand picked by our content managers:
Are you ready for a new Punisher #1? I sure am always in the mood for it.The Punisher #1. Written by Benjamin Percy and art by José Luis Soares Pinto, Oren Junior and Frank D’Armata. It sees the return of Jigsaw and Frank Castle hunting for answers after his memory is damaged once again. Definitely getting the Alex Maleev Variant!
Boom! Another new volume of anything and everything Massive-Verse. Across the Massive-Verse TP Vol. 2. This time it features Radiant Red, Radiant Pink, No/One and Cowl. I’d say a perfect entry point for new readers!
New History of the DC Universe: The Dakota Incident #1. From what we’ve seen and has been teased so far, this is going to be a solid read! It’s about a murder that leads to an all out war between the heroes of Dakota City and the US government. Surely that won’t be troubling? Static & Rocket and likely other Milestone character will hopefully safe the day here!
All comics releasing this week can be found in the NCBD tab in your add comics screen. All new releases have been carefully cleaned up, with lots of info added! Be sure to check them out in the app when you hit your comic shop or when you’re back home adding your stack you’ve just come home with!
Happy reading!
