Another meme based comic arrives in the form of Boo The Cutest dog in the World (Tom's pick of the week.... honest!)
Also check out Glitterbomb, The Great Divide and Eclipse
In perfect timing for the new school year Assassination Classroom 11 finally arrives in store and as ever a new wave of pops arrive - this week's chosen theme being the A-Team (Everyone wants Faceman right?) Enjoy the ride and see you in store :)
