Hey Towelites, it’s Wednesday once again! AND that means we get a bunch of new titles to pick up and satisfy our Geekly comic book cravings!

Kinda of a light week if you ask me! But two great titles that I learned about at NYCC hit this week! First up I Play The Bad Guy, a tale about super-soldiers, and the 4th entry in the And Then Emily Was Gone series, with some of the creepiest panels around! Remember that the big publishers don’t always have the best books!

So let’s find out what’s going on over at Marvel, DC, IDW, Dark Horse, Zenoscope, Image, Dynamite, and more!! Check out TFAW for the latest titles, popular back-books, preorders and more!
