Batman #51, DC. After Selina’s cold shoulder, Batman has to cope with Mr. Freeze. Have I told you how much I love Mr. Freeze in the summertime? I have? Oh. Well, cool then. Tom King, Lee Weeks and Elizabeth Breitweiser bring the icy ruckus.

Avengers #5, Marvel. Marvel’s pre-eminent superteam has been similarly bombastic. As it should be. By Jason Aaron and a team of artists.
