DC Comics' "Rebirth" titles roll on with more great stories but Valiant is flexing their muscles with Faith, Generation Zero and Rai. Not to be outdone, Marvel has a bunch of great issues too, like Moon Girl, Nighthawk, and Star Wars to name a few. Check out the latest from Greg Pak with Kingsway West #1and Nathan Fairbairn' Lake of Fire #1. And it wouldn't be New Comic Book Day without a book from Gail Simone. Clean Room #11 is out now. Happy reading!
