There is nothing quite like New Comic Book Day! It wouldn’t be a Wednesday without new comics like BLISS & AMETHYST.
If you are a reader like me, that TBR (to be read) pile of comics continues to grow. If that isn’t enough to stop you from checking out new releases, here is my list of Top 5 Comics out this week.
