HOT PICKS! On Sale This Week!

Scott and Dan pick the comics they’re most looking forward to this week …

Dan Greenfield, editor, 13th Dimension

Angel Catbird Vol. 1 HC, Dark Horse. Margaret Atwood tackles comics with this graphic novel, featuring Johnnie Christmas art (and Tamra Bonvillain colors). C’mon, Margaret Atwood. Doing comics. Starring a character who’s basically Catman crossed with Hawkman (but not really). Fun fact: Margaret Atwood is my wife’s favorite writer. She’s gonna read this too. And so should you.

Aquaman #6, DC. Things go from bad to worse for Aquaman and Mera, as they have to face off against Superman. Oy. By Dan Abnett, Brad Walker and Andrew Hennessy.

Skybourne #1, Boom! Studios. I love Frank Cho’s art, and I’ve enjoyed his writing all the way back to Liberty Meadows, so I’m totally on board for this.

Cyborg: Rebirth #1, DC Comics. I loved writer John Semper’s work on the 1990s Spider-Man animated series, so I’ll give this a try.
