Wednesday is almost here, and new comics are within reach. So you may be like me and still have a stack of comics that haven’t been read from last week, but here is a list of new titles I will be picking up at my local comic shop.
Like many readers I try to budget my purchases, which can become difficult with the vast amount of quality books being published currently. This week marks the beginning of Marvel’s Civil War II, and while I was super impressed with last years summer blockbuster event, I am going to sit out on this one. So here are five other titles you should also be picking up this week.
