We’re slowly recovering from the SDCC craze! Luckily, we have a somewhat quieter week ahead, with around 395 new variants releasing. After last week’s record-breaking numbers, the content team can finally catch its breath.
Let’s take a look at some of the releases hitting shelves this week. First up is Queen in Black #1, written by Al Ewing with artwork by Iban Coello. This new Marvel event throws Hela and Knull into a cosmic clash, with Earth and its heroes caught right in the middle. We are already on the lookout for those blind bag variants!
Our second highlight is X-Men, Vol. 6 #34, written by Jed MacKay. This issue puts Cain Marko (Juggernaut) front and center. After a lifetime spent as a bully, criminal, and supervillain, Cain is now an X-Man. But can the Juggernaut stay a hero?
Last, we take a look at Alice Forever After #5, the final issue of Dan Panosian’s dark reimagining of Alice in Wonderland. This tale is finally coming to it’s ends, and we can’t wait to see how it happens!
All comics releasing this week can be found in the NCBD tab on your Add Comics screen. Every new release has been carefully cleaned up, with lots of extra information added, so be sure to check them out in the app—whether you’re at your local comic shop or back home adding the stack you just picked up!
Happy reading!
