I’d apologize for the pun, but honestly, if you’re still reading the Stack after all this time, you know what you’re in for. I assume you view it as part of my inimitable charm by now.
All right, so what goodies are in store for us this month? Among other things, you’ll find some old and new manga series to dive into, a couple of books set in the “good old days” that remind us they really weren’t, and fantasies that transport you to worlds both new and familiar. Whether you’re in the Northern Hemisphere anticipating spring or in the Southern Hemisphere looking forward to autumn, you’ll find the perfect new read for the season among these comic books and graphic novels. It sure will be nice to enjoy reading time in some less extreme weather for a change, won’t it? And, if spring is on the horizon, you’ll have extra daylight hours in which to read, too!
The release dates included here were accurate at the time of writing, but they might have changed by now, so when you click through to buy something, take a quick peek at the date to make sure it doesn’t really belong in April’s new release list. Unfortunately, I am not psychic, so I can never tell which titles will be subjected to a last-minute schedule change when I’m putting this list together!
