Greetings, fellow comic book lover!
Here are the items that should be on your radar when you head to your local comic shop this Wednesday, July 4th:
Astonishing X-Men #13: Writer Matthew Rosenberg starts his run on the series with Havok seeking redemption and building a new team, including a surprise member! Rosenberg knows his way around the X-Universe as the writer of The New Mutants, Multiple Man and The Return of Jean Grey, so I'm looking forward to this new storyline featuring one of my favorite X-Men.
Attack on Titan Vol. 25: If you've been reading this popular Manga series, the new volume is here!
Batman #50: The culimation of the year-long engagement between Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle happens in this oversized issue! And if you want to get techincal, this is the culimation of the "will they or won't they" between Batman and Catwoman that goes all the way back to Batman #1 in 1940.
Captain America #1: Award winning writer Ta-Nehisi Coates begins his run on the First Avenger on the 4th of July - how fitting!
