Wednesday is here again, which means a new week for new comics. 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.
The Spirit: The Corpse Makers #1 – $3.99
Dynamite Entertainment – Francesco Francavilla
A series of unexpected disappearances and deaths hit Central City. Initially these cases seem purely unrelated: no apparent connection between the victims makes it easy for the police to just file them as runaways or natural deaths. But when someone close to Ebony White disappears, The Spirit is on the case! From the mind of writer/artist & Eisner winner Francesco Francavilla, comes a thrilling tale of The Spirit that promises to tingle your spines.
Batman #16 – $2.99
DC Comics – Tom King, David Finch, Danny Miki, Jordie Belaire
“I Am Bane” part one! Bane is coming for Batman. Bruce must keep those he loves safe for five days in order to save Gotham Girl once and for all. But Bane will stop at nothing, and no one is safe.

Blood Blister #1 – $3.99

Sin is a joke to Brandon Hull. Morality a crutch for the weak, laws mere tools to be abused.

How can you be saved when the evil possessing you is your own soul? Opening a jarring window on to a world of horror.
