Sometimes its hard to know where to begin if you’re a newbie to weekly comics!  Girl Gang Releases is a weekly series where we identify some of our favorite new comic releases for each Wednesday.

• Lumberjanes #18 (BOOM) – This is the first Lumberjanes with the new team of writer Kat Leyh and with artist Carolyn Nowak. I was super excited when Nowak first joined the LJ team because her art is excellent and her sense of humor always on point. I’m super excited to see what both of them bring to the table. Also, this issue has mermaids and who doesn’t love mermaids?
• Black Canary #4 (DC Comics) – Black Canary is one of my favorite books right now. This issue has guest artist Pia Guerra (Y the Last Man) and reveals who kidnapped the band’s guitarist. We will also find out more about the band’s former singer before Dinah, who is not happy that they have been replaced.
• Rat Queens #12 (Image) – It always seems like forever between Rat Queens issues, but that is just because of how damn good it is. This issue is part two from #11 and follows Hannah on the way to Mage University, where she runs into someone from her old life. This figure knows secrets about Hannah that she didn’t want anyone to know.

What other titles should we be picking up that we should be adding to this list or don’t know about? Let us know in the comments or at thegeekgirlgang@gmail.com!

Happy Wednesday girl gang!
