NCBD! A bit of a slower week when it comes to new releases yet this isn’t at all noticeable by the amount. Two single heavy hitters for both big publishers, being Absolute Green Arrow and Ultimate Impact: Reborn. Here are a few books that were handpicked by our content managers:
My pick (CLZ Rowdy) this week is: Odin #1B. Snowy forest horror story including Norse Mythology? Sign me up! Written by James Tynion IV & Marguerite Bennett, art by Letizia Cadonici & Jordie Bellaire.
The Ultimate Universe’s legacy lives on! My pick (CLZ Justin) this week is: Ultimate Impact: Reborn #1. Miles Morales returned with a plan: safeguard the Origin Boxes — catalysts for the creation of new super heroes — before they fall into the wrong hands! This story is set to introduce unforgettable new characters on both sides of a conflict that will shape the future of the 616!
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. Either when you hit your comic shop or, when back home adding your stack you’ve just come home with!
Happy reading!
