Last year, we introduced the sister series to our Summer TV Binge, the Summer Comics Binge. This year, the series returns with 13 series that run the gamut from the sublime to the absurd. We’ve got quite the lineup, including some things that are very hard to track down (“Amalgam Comics”) to contemporary series (“Dragon Age”), from things no longer considered canon (“Star Wars Legacy”) to series that never quite wrapped up (“The Manhattan Projects”). Here’s the full lineup:

“Amalgam Comics,” reviewed by Drew Bradley, starting on June 8th
“The Question,” reviewed by Elias Rosner, starting on June 9th
“Dragon Age,” reviewed by Laura Merrill, starting on June 10th
“Star Wars Legacy,” reviewed by Jake Hill, starting on June 11th
The Chronicles of Shazam, recapping every Marvel Family appearance from 2001-2020, by Brian Salvatore, starting on June 12th
“Star Wars: Doctor Aphra,” reviewed by Kate Kosturski, starting on June 13th
“Hourou Musuko,” reviewed by Jodi Odgers, starting on June 14th
“Medieval Spawn” and “Dark Ages Spawn,” reviewed by Micahel Mazzacane, starting on July 6th

We hope you spend the next week tracking down the series that you’d like to read along with, and join us on the 8th when everything kicks off!
