Editor's Note: My least favorite part about Jermaine going out of town is never spending extra time at the store or answering a few extra e-mails. It's this list right here. I always feel like I drop the ball.
In an age when more and more stores just copy and past the prospective titles from Diamond Comics.com or configure an embed code from Comixology, it's crazy that Jermaine manages to keep up with what's going on in every book coming out and that he can generate enough enthusiasm to pitch it on to you guys! He does most of that on Sunday, his one day off!
I try my best. I know what I know. I know I'm no substitute, but hang with me! For this week at least, you can click any of the covers above to jump down in the list to that entry! Click any title with a hyperlink to go to the preview! And Enjoy!
