Scott and Dan pick the comics they’re most looking forward to… — Dan Greenfield, editor, 13th Dimension Warlord by Mike Grell Omnibus Vol. 1, DC. As the description shouts, “REMASTERED AND COLLECTED IN COLOR LIKE NEVER BEFORE!” Includes 1st Issue Special #8, The Warlord #1-36, and a new introduction and cover by Grell. — Detective Comics #1104, DC. This entertaining title is sort of a latter-day Brave and the Bold, with DC Universe co-stars popping up. As The Courage That Kills storyline, by Tom Taylor and Mikel Janin, plays out, it looks like Batman’s gonna need help from the Scarecrow. — Green Lantern #30, DC. Speaking of The Brave and the Bold, Batman’s first co-star was Green Lantern, in 1965’s Issue #59. But you knew that. — The Flash #28, DC. Ethan Young gives us an Eisner-esque variant that also recalls Carmine Infantino’s famed 1967 The Flash #174 cover. — Star Wars #8, Marvel. Does anyone know just how many of these action-figure covers John Tyler Christopher has done? Man! (Also: Written by our pal Alex Segura!) — Scott Tipton, contributor-at-large, 13th Dimension Rom Epic Collection: The Original Marvel Years Vol. 3, Marvel. More classic Spaceknight adventures collected for the first time in trade paperback. — Marvel Masterworks: The Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 27, Marvel. Finishing up the 1980s Spidey run by Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz! Hobgoblin, Silver Sable, the Sinister Syndicate – all good stuff! — 1776 #2, Marvel. Happy to see the return of Morgan le Fey, one of the best and most underrated Avengers...

Scott and Dan pick the comics they’re most looking forward to… — Dan Greenfield, editor, 13th Dimension Jim Aparo’s DC Classics Artist’s Edition, Act 4/Image/DC. The first book from Scott Dunbier’s new Act 4 shingle finally bursts out, and it’s a doozy. This is the cover I’m getting (naturally) but there are others too. — Sensation Comics #38 Facsimile Edition, DC. The second Christmas Facsimile Edition DC has for us this year — the first was a ’70s treasury — and I am totally down for it. There is something special about Christmas in the Golden Age and this FE release was a welcome surprise when we first got word of it. Foil and logo sketch covers too, natch. — Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum #5, DC. The finale of what’s been a fantastic Superman miniseries. W. Maxwell Prince and Martin Morazzo have given us the spirtual sequel to All-Star Superman we deserve. Excellent from top to bottom and I hope it gets Eisner recognition because it’s earned it. I’m going to miss this. Wonderful. — The Batman: Second Knight #2, DC. Jurgens and Perkins have been quietly putting together a potential franchise within the franchise. If they keep it up with a new 3-parter every year, I’ll be quite pleased. Inevitably Robin will join the fray, and boy won’t that be a kick. Plus, there’s this legitimately terrifying variant: — The Avengers #33, Marvel. With the latest Bicentennial Calendar Hidden Gem variant, featuring the art of Jim Mooney. — Civil War #5 Facsimile Edition, Marvel. Having never read this series until now, I can totally understand why Marvel Studios opted to adapt the concept. I’m not big on hero vs. hero stuff but this was really well done. I know I’m not the first to say that. — Batman & Robin: Year One, DC. Both the hardcover and softcover collections of the 12-ish Mark Waid and Chris Samnee series are out at the same time. Take yer pick. — Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #46, DC. More Luthor/Joker chicanery. Just hit me that Issue #50 is coming. I wonder what’s in store because I bet it’ll be a blast. — Daredevil/Punisher: The Devil’s Trigger #2, Marvel. Michael Cho should do a variant cover for every comic that comes out. — Scott Tipton, contributor-at-large, 13th Dimension Batman – Santa Claus: Silent Knight Returns, DC....
