Marvel has a chance to woo me back onto some books this NCBD. Looking forward to Doom and, though I've never been a Cable fan, thought they nailed it in issue 1. @jason-aaron.bsky.social always gets a look, and the Big 3 Absolute titles have been consistently fantastic. #wereadscomics

Reminder that the BEASTS OF BURDEN OMNIBUS ships next month from @darkhorse.com. All the stories done so far in one book (inc 3 Eisner Winners), only $30 for nearly 600 pages of dogs and cats (and sometimes a raccoon. Oh, and HELLBOY once, which was nuts) vs the supernatural. You kinda need this.
