Our biggest NCBD yet! This week sees the release of 1,235 new comics. It’s been a busy week over here for the content team!
This crazy number, of course, has everything to do with San Diego Comic-Con, which starts tomorrow. We are now up to 664 SDCC exclusives, and that number is still climbing. On top of that, there are 99 regular store exclusive variants releasing, bringing our total exclusive count to 763 exclusives.
Let’s not forget the regular releases hitting shelves this week. Out today is Gambit: Wanted #1, written by Chris Claremont, so you won’t want to miss it! Also releasing this week is Terminal #1, which looks to be Image Comics’ take on the X-Men. We can’t wait to see what it’s all about.
Last, we take a look at Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #20, which also marks the series’ legacy numbering issue #300! We had our hands full with this one, as there are 90 different variants releasing for this milestone issue.
All comics releasing this week can be found in the NCBD tab on your Add Comics screen. Every new release has been carefully cleaned up, with lots of extra information added, so be sure to check them out in the app—whether you’re at your local comic shop or back home adding the stack you just picked up!
And for those of us attending SDCC, good luck hunting for those special grails! If you find any exclusives that aren’t in Core yet, be sure to report them on Club CLZ.
Happy reading!
