Avengers #1.1, Marvel. Retro tales of Cap’s Kooky Quartet by Waid and Kitson? To quote Philip J. Fry, shut up and take my money.

Sugar & Spike: Metahuman Investigations TPB, DC. The grown-up Silver Age kiddies were the best part of the recent Legends of Tomorrow anthology series. Sugar and Spike are hired by DC’s A-List heroes to kick dirt over their more embarrassing episodes. (Just check out the cover.) The whole series, by Keith Giffen, Bilquis Evely and Ivan Plascencia, was chock full of Silver and Bronze Age Easter eggs.
