Scott and Dan pick the comics they’re most looking forward to this week …
—
Scott Tipton, co-owner, Blastoff Comics, North Hollywood, Calif.
Batman and Robin Adventures Vol. 1 TPB, DC Comics. Ty Templeton is one of the most underrated talents in comics. This Batman run of his is first-rate.
—
Princess Bride: A Storybook To Color TPB, IDW Publishing. I’ve not been much for the whole adult coloring book trend, but this one? As you wish.
—
Marvel Masterworks Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 18 HC, Marvel. More of the prime Spidey comics of my childhood, illustrated by the great Ross Andru.
—
Dan Greenfield, editor, 13th Dimension
DC Rebirth Holiday Special #1, DC Comics. I really dig holiday specials. The stories can be hit or miss but there’s nothing like the warmth of curling up with a good holiday-themed comic this time of year. This one’s got 11 stories in 85 pages — and Detective Chimp. (Click here for a SNEAK PEEK!)
—
Red Sonja #0, Dynamite. The She-Devil With a Sword wakes up … in New York! For 25 cents! By Amy Chu and Carlos Gomez.
—
Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows #2, Marvel. I really enjoyed the first issue a lot, and it just may be because it was written by my fave Spidey scribe, Gerry Conway. More than anything, a story like this has to have its voice right and this one does. Art by Ryan Stegman.
—
Hawkeye #1, Marvel. Kate Bishop takes center stage, by Kelly Thompson and Leonardo Romero. I’m down. (Hello, Netflix? I have an idea for you…) PLUS: LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that giallo-inspired cover by Julian Totino Tedesco. (Click here for the why.)
—
Star Wars: Poe Dameron #9, Marvel. This is for Christy Blanch. (I’m not sure which of us thinks Oscar Isaac is hotter.) And, cuz, y’know, there’s a Star Wars movie out this week… By Charles Soule and Phil Noto.
—
Lost In Space: The Lost Adventures #6, American Gothic Press. I’ve really enjoyed these comics adaptations of Carey Wilber’s unfilmed scripts. Now, my understanding is this the end, but I hope editor/writer Holly Interlandi keeps the Lost In Space comics going.
—
Die Kitty Die, Chapter House. My lord is this comic hysterical. Dan Parent and Fernando Ruiz really aren’t holding back. And I’m with ’em.
