Here’s the second part of the monthly list compiling books, trades, and graphic novels that caught my attention and may yours too! Many are the usual suspects. Some are new like Steve Orlando’s Crude and Michelle Perez’s The Pervert. Others are trades like Batwoman volume 4 or Hawkeye Kate Bishop volume 3 which bids adieu from the list this month as happened with Iceman last month. America makes an appearance in Marvel Rising which is free if you pick it up at your shop or a mere quarter if your shop lets you pre-order it. A new volume of Exiles starts and, of course, Gail Simone is sure to have a lot of fun writing Marvel’s Domino.
Part one of the Previews list covering comics, trades, and graphic novels from publishers such as Boom, Archie, DE, small press, and indies is here!
People’s names listed in bold are either LGBT+ or supportive. Credit where credit is due – Andy Mangels because this was his idea and to Mike McDermott and Steven Leitman for their suggestions and input about several series that have been added to the list! Notice something missing that should be on the list? Please send a message!
