Welcome to the Neverending Battle, folks. The battle to decide what comic books to spend your money on! Since the early part of the 20th century, comic books have resided on store shelves. With their bright colors and action-packed figures, the covers call to us with the siren song of “Will The Captain Survive The Deadly Attack Of The Deadly Attack Bears?!?! SEE INSIDE!”. In this new section of Way of the Geek we’ll talk about some of the up-and-coming comics, along with some old favorites.
To kick things off, here’s some of the comics that are shipping to your Friendly Local Comic Shop tomorrow!
