Aug 06, 2018
Comic book readers are a unique breed. Typically, they are more than willing to go backward and forward in continuity – to play catch up as best they can. Largely, out of fear of getting left behind. That's where START HERE comes in...
Yes, there are a lot of comics out there, but there are plenty of jumping on points because of that fact. Here are five titles hitting stores on August 8th, 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.” Oh. And bring money to pay for it.
