25 Comics You Can Buy Tomorrow as Marvel and DC Skip a Week
This week sees DC Comics take a skip week for printed monthly comic books, as they get to grips with issues caused by the current new distribution. While this is also a skip week for Marvel Comics when it comes to print. So while both have series that would have been in print, finishing their run in digital, such as Supergirl and Scream: Curse Of Carnage, for your Marvel and DC zombies (and yes there is DCeased on digital as well) there may be a paucity at the comic shop. Dark Horse is also skipping monthly comics, So what will be filling next weekend's Bleeding Cool Bestseller List? Here are ten suggestions:

By Justin Madson, the story of Breathers follows a small cast of individuals as they struggle to make sense of the dystopian world they live in, as a virus is unleashed into the air, rendering it deadly to humans. And everyone wears masks, hence, 'breathers'. Is this too close? Or just right?
ALL-AMERICA COMIX ONE-SHOT Image Comics
Ms America, America Chavez, was created by Joe Casey and Nick Dragotta in the Marvel comic book series Vengeance, back in 2011.

Four years ago, Casey and Dragotta announced that they were creating a very similar character, America Vasquez, to be published by Image Comics as All-America Comix. And although Marvel has abandoned its solicitations for a new America Chavez series, Made In the USA, written by Kalinda Vasquez, the Image version is still on track for tomorrow.
