Scott Tipton, co-owner, Blastoff Comics, North Hollywood, Calif.
Starfire, Vol. 1: Welcome Home TPB, DC. My favorite DC series of the last year. Fun, sweet and suitable for all ages. By Jimmy Palmiotti, Amanda Conner and Emanuela Lupacchino.

Harley Quinn #26, DC. Psst. I’ve read this one already. It’s a typical hoot, as Harley gets Robbied. Also by the Palmiotti-Conner coterie of creators.

Hyperion #1, Marvel. People dig Chuck Wendig. People dig the alt-Justice League, the Squadron Supreme. People dig the alt-Superman, Hyperion. People dig road stories. This is all of that. (Art by Nik Virella.)
