Welcome to another thrilling New Comic Book Day!
This week has Judge Dredd bitten off more than he can chew in Predator vs Judge Dredd vs Aliens, the fact that he doesn't get top billing probably isn't reassuring. Should we be expecting Dreddaliens in our future? Jurisdictionally speaking where do alien species even fall within the law? Maybe all or even some of these questions will be answered!
The DC Rebirth bonanza continues with Titans, Red Hood and the Outlaws, Nightwing, Hal Jordan, and Batgirl.
Civil War II #4 is out this week and those of you who haven't read #3 really, REALLY, need to read it so we can talk about it!
ROM returns for more than just a FCBD! Fans should check out My Little Pony's variant cover this week.
Just in time for the summer holidays, Garfield and the X-Files have bumper annuals for you to take away, as well as a new number one from Adventure Time!
So come take a look!
