Scott and Dan pick the comics they’re most looking forward to this week …
—
Scott Tipton, co-owner, Blastoff Comics, North Hollywood, Calif.
He-Man and She-Ra: A Complete Guide to the Classic Animated Adventures, Dark Horse. I wasn’t a huge fan of the Masters of the Universe cartoons, I confess, but this book by James Eatock looks really cool.
—
Blue Beetle: Rebirth #1, DC Comics. Ted Kord is back? I’m sold. By Keith Giffen and Scott Kolins.
—
Atomic Robo and the Temple of Od #1, IDW. I’ve never read Atomic Robo before, and I gotta say, I enjoyed the hell out of this. By Brian Clevinger and Scott Wegener.
—
Mickey Mouse: Shorts — Season 1 #2, IDW. I had a great time dialoguing this one, with Mickey and Donald building a theme park out of potatoes for their pal Goofy.
—
Defenders Epic Collection: Six-Fingered Hand Saga TPB, Marvel. This is some prime early-’80s Defenders weirdness. Highly recommended.
—
Dan Greenfield, editor, 13th Dimension
Wonder Woman #5, DC. I’ve noted plenty of times that I’ve never been a huge WW reader. But Greg Rucka and Liam Sharp have given us a gorgeous, compelling story that will make for great collected editions. (And that Nicola Scott’s pretty dang awesome too!)
—
Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #3, DC. I wanted to like the new Hal Jordan title and so far I have. Robert Venditti and Rafa Sandoval are giving us some good GLC adventuring…
—
Captain America: Steve Rogers #4, Marvel. Now Cap has Civil War II to deal with. By Nick Spencer, with Javier Pina in for Jesus Saiz on pencils.
As usual, my Batman picks will come in the BATBOOK OF THE WEEK column — part of BATMAN’S HOT-LINE.
