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. The goal of this list is to highlight ten comic books that are worth checking out for this week.
This is the way the list works: I tend to add more books that are new reader friendly than those that are not. But usually, it’s just a list of books I’m excited for, and you should be too. Anyways, if you’d like to take a look at the full Diamond Shipping List, click here.
This week, Charles Soule continues his awesome “Swamp Thing” run with issue #21; Joshua Hale Fialkov begins his “Ultimate Comics: The Ultimates” with issue #25; Iconic comic book artist/writer, Lee Weeks, comes back to work on Daredevil in “Daredevil: The Dark Nights” #1; and lastly, Robert Venditti begins an era with “Green Lantern” #21.
So, how about that list?
