Tomb Raider is back with Mariko Tamaki and Phillip Sevy. Another Avengers title hits stores, Avengers: Standoff Welcome to Pleasant Hill by Nick Spencer and Mark Bagley.
There's also more Devolution, Bitch Planet, Archie, The Black Hood, Clean Room, Red Sonja, American Monster, and Super Zero. That's a lot of good reading not to mention there's trades like Midnighter and the 10th Anniversary edition of 12 Reasons Why I Love Her. Happy reading!
