Thanksgiving For 25 Hot Comics – Comic Store In Your Future

Rod Lamberti of Rodman Comics in Ankeny, Iowa, writes weekly for Bleeding Cool. Find previous columns here.

Happy Thanksgiving, all, and we have a lot to be thankful for. Including a welcome back to Rod Lamberti's 25 Hot Comics. There are a lot of hot comics out there. I was surprised at what I learned researching this, looking at a mixture of both newer and older comics. Strange Academy #1 is doing really well. $50? Did anyone see that coming? Here's a look at twenty-five.

REVIEW: Strange Academy #1 -- "Uniting Scions Of Both 'Good' And 'Bad' Ideologies Under One Educational Roof"
