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, both “Superboy” #20 and “Suicide Squad” #20 gets a new creative team, Marco Checchetto is drawing “Avenging Spider-Man” #20, which excites the crap out of me, Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo‘s “Batman” will continue to kick-ass with issue #20, and looks like Carrie Kelley might be getting more screen time in “Batman And Red Robin” #20. New robin, maybe?
Alrighty then, how about that list…
