Hey Everyone, Welcome back to Comic Book Yeti's Picks of the Week. It makes me happy to see indie books like Assorted Crisis events get 2nd printings. It makes me even happier to see multiple issues get second printings like issues 2-7 of that series but to see an indie book get a 5th printing, Amazing. As is usual, each comic is under $5 and each collection is under $20, check out today's picks.
