This week's batch of notable new releases is a little shorter than usual but by no means indicative of all the great titles still available. The only debut on the list today is Mockingbird #1 by Chelsea Cain and Kate Niemczyk. Must-have trades include the first volumes of Archie and Tokyo Ghost. They're starkly different, all-ages to more mature readers but definitely outstanding in thier own rights. Some great on-going titles this week include Descender, The Hangman, Shaft: Imitation of Life, Leaving Megaopolis/Surviving Megaopolis, Ms. Marvel, The Legend of Wonder Woman and more! Happy reading!
