New Comics Series – December 18th, 2019
There are quite a few new comics series coming out this week. Suicide Squad with writer Tom Taylor is a big one that I personally can’t wait to see. Also, Gung Ho from Ablaze looks very promising. But I can’t forget about Tales from Harrow County: Death’s Choir. I’m a pretty big Cullen Bunn fan from the few books I’ve read. So it will be hard to resist that one. If there’s something I don’t have that you’re looking forward to, let me know. I love discovering new series.
