DC Comics Tuesday

Comic Cave PDX 1924 N Kilpatrick St, Portland

The new DC comics arrived early (2 weeks in a row?!? I'll get spoiled!) so I'm gonna try this DC Tuesday release again, it's a bit of extra work but honestly I think it's good with the pandemic to spread things out a bit. Anyway, I'll open at noon and will have a bunch of good comics out! Aquaman 62 (& variant) Batman 97 Joker War Catwoman 24Dark Nights Death Metal Guidebook Mad Magazine 15 (Al Jaffee tribute) Metal Men 9 Nightwing 73 Joker War (& variant) Scooby Doo 105 Teen Titans 44 Wonder Woman Dead Earth 4 (of 4)
