Hey there, CNJ shoppers! Raf here welcoming everybody to a New Comic Book Day. December is here already!? Some of the year’s best comics come out in December usually, and this month is no exception. We’ve got a lot of great anniversary specials, some returning series, and one big epic of a Wonder Woman book all new this week. Let’s get into it. Marvel Comics This week marks the 750th issue of Avengers, and to celebrate is this week’s oversized Avengers #50. There is a whole lot to unpack in this $9.99 issue including: the conclusion to World War She-Hulk, the story of the Iron Inquisitor, a brand-new team of villains coming for our world including Kid [REDACTED] and Young [REDACTED], Robbie Reyes Ghost Rider receives a new multiversal quest, and new members join the team ALL IN THIS ISSUE.

But before they can get to the heart of the matter, they’re ambushed by an unknown assailant with a bone to pick with them. She claims to have been the first Robin, and she’s out to prove Batman should’ve never trained any of them.” A cool new #1 written by Grayon co-writer Tim Seeley. It’s the book that broke the...

Howdy, everyone! Happy New Comic Book Day! Spooky season has passed, the leaves are changing, and the weather is getting colder, but there are always comics to keep you company. This week has a lot of great new titles and there is bound to be something for everyone to check out. Let’s see what’s good.   Marvel Comics In preparation for the new Disney+ series debuting later this year, revisit (or read for the first time if you’re like me) one of Marvel’s best series ever. It’s the entire Matt Fraction and David Aja Hawkeye run in one whole collection, and all for only $44.99. Along with mentioning that I’ve never seen Firefly, I get more dirty looks around the shop saying I haven’t read this than anything else. It’s that serious. Some of the guys might even say it is one of the best superhero books ever, with a great indie flavor as well.
