Wednesday is here again, which means a new week for new comics (MIDNIGHT VISTA & RED MOTHER). If you are like me, you may still have a stack of comics that haven’t been read from last week, 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.
MIDNIGHT VISTA #5 – $3.99

abducted him. Then by the authorities who wanted to put him in a mental asylum. And now by this bizarre cult leader who just wants to use him. It’s time for Oliver to stand up for himself. It’s time for him to face his fears. If Oliver wants a life worth living then he has to make it for himself. The only problem is…will it cost him everything that he has left?
