Isn’t any week great to be a comic book fan? Two events going on at the moment, Death Spiral started at the end of February. This week Reign of the Superboys takes off from DC. Any big expectations? Here are a few books that were hand picked by our content managers:
Usagi Yojimbo: Kaito '84 #1. This story takes you to 1984 in Osaka which gives you a heist story with a descendant of Usagi Yojimbo thrown in there. Jared Cullum’s watercolor art compliments to story very well. Definite NCBD pick up for CLZ Taco.
Has the green orc hype caught up to him? Probably.. CLZ Rowdy’s pick for this week is D’Orc #2, especially the B cover by Riley Rossmo. We really enjoyed issue 1, so we can’t wait to give this one a read!
Imperial Guardians #1. Cosmic Ghost Rider is back! Along with a crew this time around. Darkhawk, Amadeus Cho, Captain Marvel and Gamora? Sign me up! From what was teased this is Suicide Squad in space ordered by the Inhuman Maximus to fight against the Kree. Written by Dan Abnett and art by Marcelo Ferreira, Jay Leisten % Rachelle Rosenberg.
All comics releasing this week can be found in the NCBD tab in your add comics screen. All new releases have been carefully cleaned up, with lots of info added! Be sure to check them out in the app when you hit your comic shop or when you’re back home adding your stack you’ve just come home with!
Happy reading!
