NCBD week 49: 438 new variants for a total of 200 new issues

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, New Comic Book Day is here!

Let’s kick off with an all-new Venom in #1 of the very originally titled new Marvel series All-New Venom! The BIG question in this action-packed issue of course is, WHO exactly is hiding under the mask??

More mysteries await us in Dynamite Entertainment’s Thundercats: Apex and it appears this action-packed one-shot has all the ingredients for a wild-west themed adventure! We have the desolate desert landscape, the mysterious stranger ánd plenty of bandits for Apex to defeat!

Last but not least we join Robin, Zatanna and Agios Nikolaus AKA the one and only Santa Claus for a cosy gathering at the Wintersgate Manor. Their mission? Finding the missing Justice League… and eating and drinking as much as possible of course, judging from that beautiful Bernard Chang regular cover. You can read it ALL in #2 of Batman / Santa Claus: Silent Knight Returns.

Happy Reading!

BTW: how do you like today’s HUGE CLZ Comics 10.0 update?
You can now add comics by simply taking a picture of the cover!!!
