Hi again, friends! I hope you had a wonderful weekend, because today's comics selection is deliciously devious. From the chaotic antics of teenage misfits to the fascinating dualities of fictional rivals, we've got you covered.

Delight in Demon-strably Great Comics

The allure of villainy has always been a fascinating component of literature, especially in comic books. This week, we turn our attention to narratives that dive deep into the darker aspects of character development, making it clear why readers are irresistibly drawn to what might be considered the “bad” side of storytelling.

Custom Manga Storage: Keep Your Treasured Reads Safe

First on the list is not a comic itself, but a must-have accessory for manga enthusiasts. Everyone deserves a secure yet incredible place to store their prized series, and this custom-made manga storage box does just the trick! Crafted meticulously by FaltaFlyCreations, you can tailor the designs to match your favorite manga titles. These boxes are not only practical but add a personalized flair to your collection space.

New Comic and Graphic Novel Releases

Among the new releases buzzing with excitement is "I Want to Do Bad Things With You Volume One" by Yutaka. Mamori has an unusual penchant for fictional villains. So, when she encounters Fuji—the school's notorious "villain"—she can't resist the opportunity to create some mischief. As Mamori and Fuji plot to take his brother down a peg, their partnership starts off as merely recreational but quickly becomes something much deeper. How their relationship evolves is a highlight that will keep readers hooked from the first page to the last.
