Scott and Dan pick the comics they’re most looking forward to this week …
—
Scott Tipton, co-owner, Blastoff Comics, North Hollywood, Calif.
Jem & The Holograms: Infinite #1, IDW Publishing. The Jem franchise leaps full-on into science-fiction with this new dimension-hopping miniseries. If you’ve been passing on Jem and its sister book The Misfits, this is a great place to start, with some of the best writing and art around. Highly recommended. By Kelly Thompson and Stacey Lee.

Star Trek: TNG — Mirror Broken #2 , IDW Publishing. The plot thickens as Picard’s plans to steal the Enterprise begin to take form, but there’s one man potentially standing in his way: William T. Riker! Illustrated by the amazing J.K. Woodward, with stellar scripting by David Tipton and some other guy. (Note: He means himself. — Dan)

Tom Tomorrow: 25 Years of Tomorrow HC, IDW Publishing. I’ve always been a huge fan of the bitingly satirical This Modern World, so this gigantic hardcover composed of all of Dan Perkins’ cartoons is a real treat.
—
Walter Simonson’s The Mighty Thor: The Return Of Beta Ray Bill Artist’s Edition, IDW Publishing. More of Simonson’s Beta Ray Bill and Thor original pages? I’ll take all of that you got. (Click here for a gigantic EXCLUSIVE PREVIEW, including a look at 13 specially selected pages.)
—
Fantastic Four Epic Collection Vol. 2: The Master Plan of Doctor Doom, Marvel. More the early, magical days of Stan Lee/Jack Kirby Fantastic Four, including the origin of Doctor Doom and Annuals 1 and 2! Gotta have it.

Dan Greenfield, editor, 13th Dimension
The Flash #25, DC. Yeah, this is the good stuff. Reverse-Flash is my favorite Flash villain and the new storyline speeds off in earnest. By Joshua Williamson and Carmine Di Giandomenico, Ryan Sook and Neil Googe.
—
True Believers, Marvel. The House of Ideas continues its run of dollar reprints of famous issues with three this week: Amazing Spider-Man #1, Spider-Man #1 and Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man #1. Gotta get am all!
—
Wonder Woman #25, DC. Greg Rucka calls it another run, pulling the threads from the last year together. With art by Liam Sharp and Bilquis Evely.
