HOT PICKS! On Sale This Week!

Posted by Dan Greenfield on Mar 16, 2026

Scott and Dan pick the comics they’re most looking forward to… — Dan Greenfield, editor, 13th Dimension Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #49, DC. Last issue’s first part of this Crime Syndicate two-parter was a kick. Nice art by Marcus To, too. Wouldn’t mind if he stuck around. — Detective Comics #576 Facsimile Edition. Hey, it’s Todd McFarlane’s 65th birthday today. Happy birthday, Todd. — Wonder Woman #1 Facsimile Edition, DC. In Golden Age size, joining previous, similar DC releases such as Action Comics #1, Superman #1, Detective Comics #27 and Batman #1. — Phoenix: The Untold Story #1 Facsimile Edition, Marvel. Reprinting the 1983 one-shot in which Chris Claremont, John Byrne and Terry Austin provided readers with the original ending of the Dark Phoenix Saga, where Jean Grey survived. This ish will essentially be a jumping-on point for Byrne’s upcoming three-volume graphic novel X-Men: Elsewhen, published through Abrams ComicArts under license from Marvel. That hardcover series picks up with Jean alive. The first volume is due in June 2026. — Back Issue #166, TwoMorrows. The Partner Up Issue!, headlined by Superman and Lois Lane. Also a nice article on Batman and Alfred. — Scott Tipton, contributor-at-large, 13th Dimension Tom Strong Compendium Two, DC. The most overlooked of Alan Moore’s works, in my humble opinion. There’s a charm and innocence to Tom Strong that is fairly unique. — Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories – Grievous, Dark Horse. A General Grievous solo adventure? The graphic novel I never knew I needed. — Godzilla Destroys the Marvel Universe, Marvel. No excuses. The heart wants what it wants. Collects last year’s miniseries by writer Gerry Duggan and a number of artists, primarily Javier Garron and Paco Medina. — MORE — HOT PICKS! On Sale This Week! — March 9. Click here. — HOT PICKS!

HOT PICKS! On Sale This Week!

Scott and Dan pick the comics they’re most looking forward to… — Dan Greenfield, editor, 13th Dimension Detective Comics #475 Facsimile Edition, DC. A new printing of this particular Facsimile Edition. I’m down for it because I always want DC to focus more on Englehart and Rogers, but also because this time around there will be foil and logo sketch covers. That said, I have to point out to DC that if you’re going to republish the first part of a two-parter, you really should do the second part as a Facsimile too. This is an especially egregious case. — Action Comics #242 Facsimile Edition, DC. Brainiac Begins! And Man of Tomorrow’s still more than a year away! — Planet of the Apes vs. Fantastic Four #2, Marvel. We’ve been chronicling the creation of Ron Frenz and Brett Breeding’s fab variant cover homaging Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers, so here is the final, final version. — Asumi-chan Is Interested in Lesbian Brothels! Vol. 6, Seven Seas. Is this a good jumping-on point? Do you have to read the first five volumes to be able to follow the plot? Asking for a friend. — Scott Tipton, contributor-at-large, 13th Dimension DC Finest: The Flash — The Fastest Man Dead, DC. A nice thick chunk of ’70s-era Flash comics, a time period which has been underrepresented when it comes to collections. — Marvel Premier Collection: Punisher — Welcome Back, Frank, Marvel. Just in time for the new Disney+ special comes this re-release of perhaps the best standalone Punisher story, equal parts gritty ultraviolence and black humor. — Emperor Aquaman #15, DC. This looks like a good jumping-on point for Aquaman fans. — MORE — HOT PICKS! On Sale This Week! — March 2. Click here. — HOT PICKS! On Sale This Week! — Feb. 23. Click...
