Welcome to another run-down of the new comics hitting the shelves on Wednesday 2nd March. This week is just crazy - There were plenty of books coming out anyway, but we also have a double dose of Image and other Indie books delayed from last week by evil weather in the states.
Prepare for wallet trauma as not only are there plenty of great books but we have a Pop! onslaught as well (more new on those in a later post)!
New series and one shots are right below with detail on all this week's releases at the end of the post.
