April showers bring May… comics?! Apparently, as we’ve got a lovely crop coming in. From the triumphant, bloody, revenge-filled return of DEAD BODY ROAD to the final issue of the OUTER DARKNESS/CHEW crossover to—OHMYGODICAN’TBELIEVEIT—the final issue of OUTCAST by KIRKMAN & AZACETA! It’s always kind of bittersweet to see the end of a Robert Kirkman title. Sad to see them go but he has a habit of sticking the landing, so be sure to ready yourself for that! Scroll down for the full list and the amazing covers that go with them.
And don’t forget that FIRE POWER #1 arrives May 2nd for FREE COMIC BOOK DAY! And word on the street is we might have a little INVINCIBLE treat for FCBD as well!
