Holy Wednesday Abbreviations Day, Batman! It’s NCBD again! This week we prepared 244 new issues with 541 releases overall.

Let’s kick off with one of the most obvious new series released this week, Batman and Robin: Year One. In this first issue Bruce and Dick face a mysterious new crime boss called the General. Generally speaking, he should no competition for The Dynamic Duo.
Wanna know who’s also back with a brand-new series? Our favourite shape-shifting superhero: Marvel’s most mysterious mutant Mystique, m’kay. Be sure to check out Mystique, Vol. 2!

And last but not least, Image Comics offers us #25 of the freaky and scary series The Department of Truth. Apparently this issue will answer a few boiling hot questions!

Enjoy!
