Scott and Dan pick the comics they’re most looking forward to… — Dan Greenfield, editor, 13th Dimension Batman by Neal Adams Absolute Edition: 1967-1970, DC. Announced late last year, it’s here! For an EXCLUSIVE SNEAK PEEK, click here. For a wonderfully warm reminiscence by Adams’ daughter Kris, click here. Scott adds: The Absolute format is a perfect fit for the work of Neal Adams, who really came into his own on his early efforts on Batman, as represented here. — Superman: The Man of Steel by John Byrne Absolute Edition, DC. The other must-have Absolute Edition out this week. Released in celebration of the landmark 1986 miniseries’ 40th anniversary. Click here for an INSIDE LOOK. — The Amazing Spider-Man #1000, Marvel.

Worth noting is this sweet Dark Knight Returns 40th anniversary variant by Hayden Sherman: — X-Men United #7 Alex Ross Timeless Variant, Marvel. Since I don’t know Marvel as well as DC, I don’t know who this is. But I want to! — Scott Tipton, contributor-at-large, 13th Dimension The EC Archives: The Complete Piracy, Dark Horse. Much like their recent Valor collection, Dark Horse once again offers some of the more obscure EC comics in a very nice package. — Indiana Jones: The Further Adventures Book I and II, Marvel.
