Scott and Dan pick the comics they’re most looking forward to… — Dan Greenfield, editor, 13th Dimension Limited Collectors’ Edition #C-59: Batman’s Strangest Cases Facsimile Edition. Terrific stories, terrific art. Denny O’Neil, Neal Adams, Len Wein, Bernie Wrightson, Frank Robbins, Dick Giordano, Irv Novick. All big-like. Cannot lose. There are also foil and sketch editions. Scott adds: I never had this one as a kid, so I’m delighted to get the reprint. Beautiful Neal Adams cover. — Batman #158, DC. OK, I’ll be straight with you. I’m not sure how excited I should be about Hush 2. I liked the first run more for the art than the story and I’ve never really bought the idea of Hush as some opposite-number bete noire, shoehorned into Bruce Wayne’s past. So I’m more curious than anything, I suppose. I am, however, down for the new 11″ x 17″ Giant-Size Special Edition format that this issue will pioneer. (It’s a variant, not the standard issue, just to be clear.) All the chapters will be offered with this option, and I at least want to get the main and foil versions for the first issue. — Batman: The Long Halloween — The Last Halloween #6, DC. This ish features Mr. Freeze and the lush art of Enrico Marini. — Metamorpho, the Element Man #4, DC. This series has gotten me to pick up some old Metamorpho issues from the ’60s. Al Ewing and Steve Lieber have nailed the original’s sensibility to a T. If you’re not reading this, then you hate fun. — Absolute Martian Manhunter #1, DC. I have stayed away from the Absolute line but this is the first series that has really piqued my curiosity. The brilliantly colorful art by Javier Rodriguez really wants to make me try this. And it’s not like I’m married to a particular take on J’onn J’onzz. — Gold Key Select: Boris Karloff — Thriller #1, Gold Key Entertainment. The neo-Gold Key releases a collection of groovy fright tales featuring old-school talents like Mike Sekowsky and Alberto Giolitti. For six bucks! — Harley Quinn Fartacular: Silent Butt Deadly #1, DC. A lot of people really seem upset that DC is releasing a scratch-and-sniff comic that is all about farts. Those self-serious people need to take some Pepto and have a seat. I hope this one-shot wins...
