5 new comic book series you should start reading now

By

Sure, comic books are an old art form, dating back to the 1930s in American culture. The four-color sequential art format has had some major success as well as several dips in its fortunes over the intervening eighty years, but the comic book is very much alive and well at this point in time, thanks to a resurgence of the comic book movies and television series currently in vogue.

There are so many new books out there as a result, that it’s hard to choose which ones to pick up and read when you head to your local comic book shop (still the way most of us get our comics). If you’re picking up two to three-dollar single issues, things can add up quickly. That’s why we’re here — to get you a sampling of the finest comics your money should buy, right now. Scroll through the images above to see what we’ve put together for you.

    You forgot Outcast, by Kirkman of The Walking Dead. Issue #6 hasn’t even come to print yet. A whole horror comic about exorcism. Phenominal art and engaging story, enjoying it even more than TWD lately.

    I haven’t been up on comics for a while now. Great to see so many quality looking books with female protagonists. There are a couple here my teenage daughter might be interested in.

    What about Ms. Marvel?
