Hello Comic Book Fandom!
Each week Marvel Comics, DC Comics, Image Comics, Dark Horse Comics, IDW Publishing, BOOM! Studios, and others release comic books every Wednesday and sometimes fantastic comic books get lost in the shuffle. This list will highlight ten comic books that are worth checking out for this week.
Some comic books might be a great jumping on point, others are one-and-done stories, or some are just worth the price of admission.
This week, artist Mike Norton (Battlepugs) has a big week, Deadpool will face Abraham Lincoln and Moby Dick (AWESOME), Jonthan Hickman continues his big scope story in Avengers #3, and Snoopy will have some high-fly aerial combat? YES PLEASE.
Alrighty then, let’s get this ball rolling…
