Aquaman #2, DC. Some good ol’ Aquaman vs. Black Manta action from Dan Abnett and Brad Walker. Gotta tell you, it’s fun getting this twice a month.

Moon Knight #4, Marvel. One of the best books Marvel is putting out right now. No surprise when the primary creative team is Jeff Lemire, Greg Smallwood and Jordie Bellaire.

Silver Surfer, #5, Marvel. Not one of the best — the best book Marvel is putting out right now. Dan Slott and Mike and Laura Allred deserve all the credit they’ve been getting. Fingers crossed on the Eisners … (Click here for a SNEAK PREVIEW.)

Future Quest #2, DC. When Issue #1 came out, I mentioned that I was never a huge fan of Hanna-Barbera’s adventure characters. But that first issue by the perfect pairing of Jeff Parker and Doc Shaner was a real pip. Still, wouldn’t you love these guys on Superman?

Civil War II: Kingpin #1, Marvel. Marvel’s meanest gets the spotlight in this mini from Matthew Rosenberg and Ricardo Lopez Ortiz.

Lone Ranger/Green Hornet #1, Dynamite. The two relatives/heroes finally meet. Batfan extraordinaire Michael Uslan teams with Giovanni Timpano to tell a tale that has me just curious enough to try out.

Weird Love #13, Yoe Comics/IDW. Not just because I’m blurbed on the cover. It’s because this comic never fails to crack me up whenever it comes out. LOVE IT. (Click here for a SNEAK PREVIEW.)

Superman: The Coming of the Supermen #6, DC. The final issue. I’m gonna miss this Neal Adams project when it’s over.
