The Daily LITG, 1st of May 2019 – A Revolutionary New Comics Day

Welcome to the mostly-daily Lying In The Gutters. You can sign up to receive it as an e-mail here. And get ready for today’s revolutions with DC’s Year Of The Villain, Marvel’s Savage Avengers and an issue of The Walking Dead that will change everything, so I am told. I’m on the way to the comic shop right now – it’s May the first, it’s May Day and it’s New Comic Book Day… so what’s going down?
