NCBD! Yes, another Absolute title that takes the crown for being the most populair comic this week. It’s Absolute Batman #21, this time with 107 variants! Amazing Spider-Man #31 should be an interesting issue too, due to what’s been going on with a certain Cormac Crane… And if that’s not all, Something is Killing the Children is back with #48. Here are a few books that were handpicked by our content managers:
My pick (CLZ Taco) this week is: Lobo 4. I’m currently buying anything Supergirl related. Hey, no need to judge me. Lobo and Supergirl on a date? This story will be told in another perspective inside of the Summer of Supergirl Special. This one should be more fun though.
My pick (CLZ Rowdy) this week is: Concrete: Stars Over Sand #1. Concrete wandering across the desert, Lost. Larry and Maureen are frantic. Will they find him in time? Found out here!
My pick (CLZ Justin) this week is: Hellboy in Love: Obsidian #1. Hellboy and Anastasia playing Indiana Jones in a tomb with monsters? Sold
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!
