There’s a lot you would expect this week: RWBY; Battle Angel Alita ; Black Butler (issue 149! At what point do we just stop counting issues and just go by the year?)
But there are also some surprises. For example, I didn’t expect to see Wolverine, but there he was in the search, holding an Infinity Stone of all things, so gotta include that. Along the same lines, Korra, daughter of Ang, the Last Airbender, makes an appearance. Thought that storyline was over, but what do you know? Here it is in print! High School DxD, Yona of the Dawn, and élDLIVE round out the list. The moral of the story? Expect the unexpected this week. As always, enjoy!
