Previews has been the premiere catalog for all of your comic and collectible needs for as long as I can remember. I used to eagerly await the next edition when I went to the comic store at the beginning at each Month. April looks to be a jam-packed edition as we get a Boom! Studios cover to a catalog filled with amazing new products from all the best from the comic industry! Check out more details below.
