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, “The Creep” HC by John Arcudi and Jonathan Case hit shelves this week and I highly recommend it, Tom Taylor‘s “Injustice: Gods Among Us” comic book continues to kick ass, “Deadpool” #8 starts up a new story arc and “Deadpool Killustrated” ends with issue #4, “Superman Family Adventures” is without a doubt the best Superman book out right know and it’s ending with issue #12, and Mark Millar and Frank Quitely‘s “Jupiter’s Legacy” #1 finally hits shelves and boy does it look good.
Alrighty then, how about that list…

Collects issues #0-#4.
