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, Valiant Entertainment is kicking off a huge crossover with “Harbinger Wars #1,” Comic book legend, Walter Simonson, joins Mark Waid‘s “Indestructible Hulk” with issue #6, “Detective Comics” celebrates its 900th issue with issue #19, and Jason Aaron and Simone Bianchi tackle the origin of Thanos with “Thanos Rising #1.”
So, how about that list…
