It wouldn’t be a new week without new comic books. This week, celebrate new series GIGA and the series finale of SEX CRIMINALS.
If you are a reader like me, there isn’t much scarier than the looming TBR (to be read) pile of comics. If you’re fearless, check out this weeks new releases, here is my list of Top 5 Comics.
GIGA #1 -$3.99
Publisher – Vault Comics
Creators – Alex Paknadel, John Le, Rosh, Aditya Bidikar
Nobody knows why the skyscraper-sized mechs known as ‘Giga’ fought their bitter, centuries’ long war. All they know is that when the fighting finally stopped, the dormant Giga became humanity’s new habitat and new gods in one. When disgraced engineer Evan Calhoun finds an apparently murdered Giga, his society and the fascistic tech-centered religious order that controls it are rapidly thrown into chaos.
SEX CRIMINALS #69 – $3.99

TMNT: THE LAST RONIN #1 – $8.99

It’s the TMNT event of 2020! Springing from the minds of TMNT co-creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird comes an epic like you’ve never seen before! In a future NYC far different than the one we know today, a lone surviving Turtle goes on a seemingly hopeless mission to obtain justice for his fallen family and friends. Kinetic layouts from Eastman, inks from Esau and Isaac Escorza and a thrilling script full of surprises from longtime TMNT scribe Tom Waltz all combine to make this one of the most memorable TMNT stories you will ever read!
Oversized in both format and page count, this is a perennial TMNT tale that can’t be missed!
