Welcome back to Comic Book Yeti!
I am your host, Jake West from Comics Academy!
Missed the last list? Here're the basics and updates:
NEW: We have a new feature for this list called the "Permanent Pull List," which features new entries for ongoing series that have been featured on this list before and that I think everyone should read! I thought this new feature would improve the variety of titles on the list each month and this way you get EVEN MORE COMICS! Also now I can feature more graphic novels (GN)!
This is a list of currently pre-orderable titles you can find in Previews either online or from their monthly catalog. Ask a person at your local comics shop if you're interested in ordering titles in the future! You can also find all of these titles for sale online or digitally!
If you want to order any of these comics, you can use the link in each entry for that issue as well as its previous issues and volumes.
The "New Readers" descriptions were taken directly from their first issue or trade paperback, so there are no story spoilers. The "Returning Readers" descriptions were taken from the current issue for people who have already read up to the current issue and want to stay up-to-date.
Scroll to the bottom to check out our pick for the Kids (All Ages) Comic For The Month!
