This Week’s New Releases and Recommendations

New comics! There is still something awesome about the idea of new comics coming out every week. TV has an off-season ... movies take years to put together ... so do albums ... sports have an off-season ... hell, for solid year-round entertainment you've got to look to comics or professional wrestling. Mostly comics. So let's see what's new this week:

PREVIEWS

This is the catalog the nice people at Diamond Comics Distributors put out every month. It's a little confusing because it features products coming out two months down the road, but still, nothing gives you a better grasp of what's going on with each publisher than this handy catalog. It even has a supplement with all of the porn titles in it, but I'm not supposed to talk about that stuff here.

DEGRASSI EXTRA CREDIT VOL 3 MISSING YOU GN

I know this is a bad transition since I was just (kinda) talking about porn, but Degrassi is the best ridiculous teen drama since 90210. It's got everything you could want, from drugs to sex to parties to illegal street racing to cheerleaders ... it so goes there. It's awesome AND Canadian. Working on these digest sized GNs must be the best job in comics.

Read on for more after the jump...

WALKING DEAD #37

Boo-ya! Love this title. Scary zombies are actually less scary than the people who have survived up until this point. Not your typical entry for this genre and highly recommended.

That's all I got this week...porn, Degrassi and zombies.

Here's the complete list of comics shipping this week:
