10 Comic Books Worth Checking Out This Week (03/27/2013)

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, Joshua Hale Fialkov‘s (I, Vampire) “Doctor Who” book will most likely be magically, Grant Morrison‘s “Batman, Incorporated” #9 will probably make me cry, Wonder Woman fans will be pleased with “Injustice: Gods Among Us” #3, Menton3‘s artwork in “Transfusion” #3 is a serial killers wet dream, and “The Legend of Luther Strode” by Justin Jordan and Tradd Moore is kicking ass and taking names!

Oh, also! How can you go wrong with a Mark Waid book these days? I mean really….

Alrighty then, so how about that list…
