NEW YEAR! NEW WEDNESDAY! NEW COMICS! If you are like me, you may still have a stack of comics that haven’t been read from last year, but how can anyone fault us for reading. Here is a list of books I will be picking up at my local comic shop.
Like many readers I try to budget my purchases, which can become difficult when there are so many quality books being published each week. So here are 5 titles to consider picking up this week.
BABYTEETH #7 – $3.99
Aftershock Comics – Donny Cates, Garry Brown, Mark Englert, Taylor Esposito
First, there was Clark-a cute baby, for sure…but probably the Antichrist. Then came assassins, and dead exes, and creepy Illuminati groups, and warlocks and super aggressive laser tag. But now, Sadie must face her most terrifying challenge yet: FLYING WITH AN INFANT!
EXIT STAGE LEFT: THE SNAGGLEPUSS CHRONICLES #1 – $3.99
DC Comics – Mark Russell, Mike Feehan, Mark Morales, Paul Mounts, Dave Sharpe, Ben Caldwell
It’s 1953. While the United States is locked in a nuclear arms race with the Soviet Union, the gay Southern playwright known as Snagglepuss is the toast of Broadway. But success has made him a target. As he plans for his next hit play, Snagglepuss becomes the focus of the House Committee on Un-American Activities. And when powerful forces align to purge show business of its most subversive voices, no one is safe!
Drama! Humor! Tragedy! It all starts in Exit Stage
GOOSEBUMPS: MONSTERS AT MIDNIGHT #2 – $3.99

Trapped in HorrorLand, sisters Mia and Ginny have no hope of escape… that is until a little Horror named Irk mentions the gate on the other side of the Scream-Park! Only problem is the never-ending nightmares that stand in their way! And did someone say something about a dummy? Oh, sorry! I didn’t mean- AAAAAGGHH!
RAT QUEENS #7 – $3.99
Image Comics – Kurtis J. Wiebe, Owen Gieni, Ryan Ferrier

limited series! Meet high school senior Nikki Finch… She’s a gifted athlete with an unusual set of medical ailments and high-aptitude test scores that have drawn the attention of an obscure and little-known NGO calling itself the Harbinger Foundation.
