Scott and Dan pick the comics they’re most looking forward to this week …

Dan Greenfield, editor, 13th Dimension
Angel Catbird Vol. 1 HC, Dark Horse. Margaret Atwood tackles comics with this graphic novel, featuring Johnnie Christmas art (and Tamra Bonvillain colors). C’mon, Margaret Atwood. Doing comics. Starring a character who’s basically Catman crossed with Hawkman (but not really). Fun fact: Margaret Atwood is my wife’s favorite writer. She’s gonna read this too. And so should you.

Godzilla: Rage Across Time #1, IDW. Stories of Gojira in different time periods. Here, the big guy’s in feudal Japan. I’ll be there. By Jeremy Robinson and Matt Frank.

Scott Tipton, co-owner, Blastoff Comics, North Hollywood, Calif.
Skybourne #1, Boom! Studios. I love Frank Cho’s art, and I’ve enjoyed his writing all the way back to Liberty Meadows, so I’m totally on board for this.

The Walt Disney Studios: A Lot To Remember HC, Disney Editions. A big lavishly illustrated coffee-table book by Steven Clark and Rebecca Cline on the history of the Walt Disney Studios lot? Please and thank you.

Cyborg: Rebirth #1, DC Comics. I loved writer John Semper’s work on the 1990s Spider-Man animated series, so I’ll give this a try.
