START HERE: Five New Comics For May 30th
May 28, 2018
Never get left behind again, thanks to START HERE!
Admittedly, to be a comic book reader, you have to be a special breed. That is, usually, you have to be willing to go backward and forward in continuity – play catch up as best you can or get left behind by the ever-expanding funny book ecosystem.
Except, that’s not entirely true.
Yes, there are a lot of comics out there, but there are plenty of jumping on points because of that fact. Here are 5 titles hitting stores on May 30, 2018. Each is a new series or the beginning of entirely new story arcs. Simply head to your comic shop and tell your store clerk, “Hey, I’d like to START HERE, please.”
X-Men Red Annual #1
With X-Men Red Annual #1 (MAR180907) get caught up on some of the recent events of the always evolving X-Men franchise.
Jean Grey has a lot of catching up to do. You may have heard but she's been dead for a while. Now, the recently resurrected Jean is bringing you along for a refresher course at Xavier's school.
Oh. wait. I guess it's called the "Jean Greys School for Higher Learning" now, huh?
