HOT PICKS! On Sale This Week!
Scott and Dan pick the comics they’re most looking forward to… — Dan Greenfield, editor, 13th Dimension Action Comics #1103, DC. We’ve gotten Lex Luthor’s origin 1,000,006 times already, but Mark Waid has an unerring talent for drawing out new ideas from old ones. Plus, dig the Man of Steel-inspired variant cover by Ryan Sook: — Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #56, DC. The Ra’s al Ghul saga continues. And if you believe Adrian Gutierrez’s variant, we’re getting a duel in the desert. Oh, hooray! — Detective Comics #298 Facsimile Edition, DC. The first appearance of the shape-shifting Clayface, from 1961. Just in time for this week’s release of the movie, which I have no interest in seeing because I can barely tolerate body horror. Credit to DC Studios for the attempt, though. — Detective Comics #1114, DC. Getting chilly in Gotham with Mr. and Mrs. Freeze! — Nightwing #143, DC. Nightwing and Robin. Never gets old. — Marvel’s Mastering the Art of Comics, Random House Worlds. The latest from our old pal, the ever-prolific Alex Segura. Didja hear he’s taking over The Phantom comic strip? It’s true! — Superman Unlimited #18, DC. Public service announcement: The Royal Flush Gang is in this one! — Scott Tipton, contributor-at-large, 13th Dimension Blade Epic Collection: His Name Is… Blade, Marvel. Confession time: I’ve never read any of the original Blade appearances. Time to remedy that. — Ghost Rider Epic Collection: To Slay a Demon, Marvel. With two appearances by my favorite Ghost Rider bad guy, the Orb! — Batman by Darwyn Cooke: Absolute Edition, DC. The departed and much-missed Darwyn Cooke was an absolute master, and I can’t wait to have all his Batman tales collected in one volume. Dan adds: Click here for a SNEAK PEEK. — Marvel: X-Men — The Ultimate Guide, DK Publishing. I do love me a nice, thick DK reference book, and the X-Men are long overdue in getting one. — MORE — HOT PICKS! On Sale This Week! — Oct. 14. Click here. — HOT PICKS! On Sale This Week! — Oct. 7.
