Happy Comic Day Ya’ll! Today’s shipment lacks any heavy hitters but features a ton of smaller titles and a few mini-series.

We really love Abe. He’s all like “I can swim really good and I’m like the Creature from the Black Lagoon named after Abe Lincoln!” and we’re all like “That is awesome! The Creature is awesome and you’re a cool looking guy!” Just based on that alone, you should check out Abe’s solo book The Drowning #1! Out this week! What else is out? Check the list, yo.
