This Week in Geek: Trade Paperbacks and Graphic Novels

Trade Paperbacks

Staying on top of your favourite comics can be difficult, especially if you have an otherwise incredibly busy life. I know I can barely remember to put on pants when I meet the medicine delivery person at the door (because I also can’t remember to actually pick stuff up when I am out). For those of us with scattered brains and busy lives, trade paperbacks and graphic novels are the best way to enjoy comic books and the medium as a whole.

Among the many trade paperbacks and graphic novels being released this week (February 21, 2018), the following are the ones we are looking forward to the most. Let us know which ones you are eager to pick up, which titles you never miss, and which ones you’d like us to review in the future!
