I haven't kept up to date with comics in a couple years, but I love the initiative! Thanks for sharing your picks, I see some stuff I'll have to check out.

A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.
Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.
There is only one rule:*
Comic Books is a no judgement zone.
You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.
If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.
* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(
I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.
See our sister sites!

Anyone picked up the sacrificers? Tempted to get it
That's a new one from Rick Rememder. Could be good, I need to check it out at the shop!
Picked it up today, too soon to say long term, but it's a promising start!

"Tomorrow is a harmonious paradise thanks to five families who make everything perfect...for the price of one child per household. Now, as that bill comes due, a son expected to give everything for a family that never loved him and an affluent daughter determined to destroy utopia must unite to end one generation's unnaturally protracted reign."
thanks for letting me know!
I'm most likely just getting Justice Society of America and X-Men 25. This year's Hellfire Gala was pretty intense, excited to see how Kitty gets herself out of the situation she found herself in. I got the frost 3 issues of Adventures of Superman John Kent and never got around to reading them. Over all it's gonna be a pretty light week for me.
X-Men 25 does answer the question of what happened to Kitty and it's probably her most amazing moment ever!
Fantastic Four #10 - Not sure why they felt the need to reboot again, but this has been good!
I'm kind of glad they rebooted. I really enjoyed Chip Zdarsky's Marvel 2 in 1, it was a great Fantastic Four book. Then came Dan Slott and I followed it for a few issues, but I really didn't like it so I dropped it. He did some (in my opinion) unnecessary recons and messed up with the origin story. You have a sci-fi family with no limits to where you can take them, and you go back to change their origin story... Anyway, I'm really enjoying the current run!
I'm only getting Fantastic Four and Amazing Spider-Man Annual this week. Which is good, since I haven't caught up with my latest comic shipping yet 🤦
