It’s a fun little week at the comic shop with some unusual new titles. We’ll also be packing up some of the back issues and heading out to Youngstown for the Youngstown Comic Con this weekend! Another chance to see the amazing Jim Steranko as well as Jason Mewes! I’ll be attending a Steranko dinner a bit like the one we hosted here for FCBD last year. Anyway, here’s the featured New Releases coming out this Wednesday, July 3rd, 2019! “Small” Press Titles Robert Kirkman always said that Walking Dead would end when Rick died so, well, yeah… Walking Dead #193 comes out this week, as well as a reprint of #192 with a new memorial cover.

Plus, he has drinks with Howard the Duck! Stand alone story too! No baggage! Spider-Ham first appeared in 1983, and he can read his first appearance for only $1.00! Captain Americat too! There’s also the first volume of the Complete Peter Porker, in case you want to branch off past that first issue. For you classic Wolverine fans, we’ve got a one-shot for you,...

It’s up to Superman’s friends to save him from Leviathan! This will be Matt Fraction’s DC debut with Jimmy Olsen, as well as Greg Rucka’s take on Lois Lane, all wrapped in a story by Brian Bendis. Fraction’s beloved in the industry and Rucka is know for incredibly powerful female characters. Some books are worth the $9.99 price tag. Oversized and prestige format. Two of...
