Here we are, the final New Comic Book Day of 2020. It has been a roller coaster of a year, so why not finish it off on a high note with great comics like WASTED SPACE & KAIJU SCORE.
This post is a milestone, as it is my 300th article here at Fox Force Five News. I have had the privilege of creating weekly lists for almost 5 years, travelling to conventions, meeting and interviewing some of my favourite creators, which I don’t think I would have had the opportunity to do without this platform.
Thank you to all the readers and people who support our little site, I wish you all the best in the New Year! So without further adieu, here are this weeks Top 5 Comic picks for this week.
