Scott and Dan pick the comics they’re most looking forward to this week …
—
Dan Greenfield, editor, 13th Dimension
Teen Titans #16, DC. Marv Wolfman returns to the Teen Titans for an issue. Yep. Art by Tom Derenick, Trevor Scott and Jim Charalampidis.
—
Star Trek: Discovery #2, IDW. Are you watching the show? I am — and I think it’s terrific. So now, I gotta go check out this tie-in miniseries by Kirsten Beyer and Mike Johnson, with art by Tony Shasteen. (And I gotta go track down the first issue, which I missed.)
—
Batgirl #19, DC. There are those who prefer that Batman’s aides de camp battle their own villains. I’m not one of them. I mean, it’s cool and all, but I really get excited when they take on a classic baddie. In this issue, Hope Larson and Chris Wildgoose put Batgirl through her paces against the Penguin, who’s been lurking on the edges of this series for a while.
—
Doomsday Clock #3, DC. OK, I’m not sure what to think here. I really thought the first issue hit its marks. The second one, though, didn’t. We should get a better sense of this dicey project’s creative prospects here. By Geoff Johns, Gary Frank and Brent Anderson, of course.
—
Amazing Spider-Man #794, Marvel. Dan Slott’s Spidey writing has never been more assured. Of course, he has Big Things in mind as his 10-year run nears its end. Art by Stuart Immonen. (Click here for a SNEAK PREVIEW.)
—
Sherlock Frankenstein and the Legion of Evil #4, Dark Horse. Jeff Lemire and David Rubin’s spinoff miniseries concludes as Black Hammer’s daughter Lucy makes her way to the vile villain…
—
Scott Tipton, co-owner, Blastoff Comics, North Hollywood, Calif.
Scooby Doo Team-Up #34, DC Comics. I’ll put up with the constant presence of Scooby-Doo and Shaggy to get my monthly dose of the real DC Universe. This issue? Mystery Inc. meets the Birds of Prey! By Sholly Fisch and Dario Brizuela.
—
Frankenstein Alive, Alive! Trio, IDW Publishing. Catch up on this beautiful series by Steve Niles and Bernie Wrightson. It’s some of Wrightson’s last work before his much-too-early passing last year. (Click here for an INSIDE LOOK.)
—
Iron Man Epic Collection: Doom TPB, Marvel. Iron Man by David Michelinie and Bob Layton is always good stuff.
