Variety is the spice of life, as my local curry house insists on informing me at every opportunity, and this week provides everything from a korma to a 100 million scoville vindaloo toilet seat breaker.
DC give us the second #1 issues for Suicide Squad and Harley in two weeks and Marvel give some post match analysis on how everyone in the MU is feeling after the events of Civil War II #3.
Brian Wood begins his latest long running series and it is one to watch for fans of Americana crime epics.
With Jackboot & Ironheel IDW release the first of five new series over a month, highlighting fresh new stories with single creator credits.
Oh, and Spawn kills everyone.....
We also have plenty of collections and new merch arriving as well (check all the way down to the bottom of the page!)
Anyways all this talk of curry has me hankering for a balti - see you all on the otherside of release day :D
