Loads to get your hands on from Dynamite this week including the launch of Chastity, as well as the second issue of Blood Queen and Chaos among the offerings.
A quieter release week than normal from Dark Horse following the holiday weekend but still plenty to watch for including Abe Sapien, Eerie Comics, and Star Wars.
While the newspaper strips obviously didn’t contain William Moulton Marston’s fixation and focus on bondage and submission as in the early comics, the 1940s saw Wonder
Savage Hulk launches this week (with an awesome Alex Ross variant) and Marvel has plenty of other titles in the offering with the latest Amazing Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, Original Sin, and Original Sins hitting.
The very cool bombshells variants continue to arrive from DC Comics alongside a great slate of action packed titles including Batman, Catwoman, Superman, and Justice League Dark hitting stands this week.

Sometimes I think if Cormac McCarthy penned comics those books would read a lot like Matt and Shawn Fillbach’s non-Star Wars work. Ok… Maybe McCarthy wouldn’t delve into something like the Fillbach’s Tales of the S.S.
