NCBD! Another Wednesday, another stack of new comics to enjoy. There are a lot of great books releasing this week, so here are a few that were handpicked by our content managers:
CLZ Rowdy’s pick this week: The Amazing Spider-Man, Vol. 1 #129M Facsimile. As a huge Punisher fan, Rowdy couldn’t pass up this iconic reprint. Featuring the Punisher’s legendary first appearance, it’s a comic that never gets old.
CLZ Justin’s pick this week: X-Men ’97, Vol. 2 #2. With the new season of X-Men ’97 now out, it’s the perfect time to jump into the comic series as well. If you’ve been watching the show, this is an easy one to add to your pull list.
CLZ Taco’s pick this week: Absolute Batman #22. This issue finally gives us the origin of Absolute Harley Quinn. The Absolute Universe keeps putting fresh spins on familiar characters, making this one of Taco’s most anticipated books of the week.
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!
