Wednesday is here again, which means a new week for new comics (HOT LUNCH SPECIAL, MURDER FALCON, & THE WILDS). 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.
HOT LUNCH SPECIAL #3 – $3.99
Aftershock Comics – Eliot Rahal, Jorge Fornes, Taylor Esposito
A mid-western noir series set in the harsh landscape of the northern Minnesota Iron Range, HOT LUNCH SPECIAL is all about family, food, and the fight for survival. Only one question is worth asking… is blood thicker than sandwiches?
There are no secrets now. Only bodies. It’s dinner time, and Dorothy and Jordan are competing to sit at the head of the table, both forcing their family members to make hard decisions. Do the Khorys go to the cops? Or do they go to war? The Khoury criminal legacy is fully revealed.
Some choices have already been made-the Irish crime lord, Big Jim Moran, is getting anxious. He’s left too many loose ends, and he’s forced to cut strings. The order has been given. It’s time for everyone to die.
