Wednesday is here again, which means a new week for new comics (BLACKWOOD, DEEP ROOTS & THE NEW WORLD). 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.
BLACKWOOD #3 – $3.99

The Blackwood curse claims its first victim in a most horrific manner, the three surviving students attempt to lift the curse on their own by hunting down Dean Ogden, Chimp Ho Tep is on the loose and causing havoc for reasons unknown, and the Bug Mother sends her “millions of babies” on a murderous revenge mission against the school.
DEEP ROOTS #3 – $3.99
Vault Comics – Dan Watters, Val Rodrigues, Triona Farrell, Aditya Bidikar, Dani Strips
