Scott and Dan pick the comics they’re most looking forward to this week …
—
Dan Greenfield, editor, 13th Dimension
Batman #52, DC. Bruce goes all 12 Angry Men on us while filled with post-jilting self-loathing and rage. Last issue was one of Tom King’s best and once again we get outstanding art from Lee Weeks and Elizabeth Breitweiser.
—
Captain America #2, Marvel. Ta-Nehisi Coates and Leinil Francis Yu’s first issue was an indictment of an America willing to be led by a despotic regime. Go get ’em, gentlemen.
—
Justice League #5, DC. I’ll say this for Scott Snyder’s turn on the book: It feels BIG – and that’s what you want from DC’s foremost superteam. Guest writer James Tynion IV steps in for an issue, with art by Doug Moench, Jaime Mendoza and co.
—
Betty and Veronica Jumbo Comics Digest #265. Because it’s summertime and you want something charming, breezy and nostalgic. At least I do.
—
Scott Tipton, co-owner, Blastoff Comics, North Hollywood, Calif.
Batman ’66 Omnibus HC, DC Comics. DC’s adaptation of the ’60s Adam West TV series was really good stuff, and it’s nice to see a big chunk of it under one cover.
—
Bubba Ho-Tep and the Cosmic Blood-Suckers #2, IDW Publishing. After a slight delay, Josh Jabcuga’s adaptation of Joe Lansdale’s outrageous novel continues! Art by Tadd Galusha.
—
Fantastic Four Epic Collection: The Coming of Galactus TPB, Marvel. You can’t go wrong with a new, glossy collection of the Galactus Trilogy. Lee and Kirby at their finest.
—
Batman Animated Harley Quinn Expressions Pack, DC Collectibles. Not only do you get more than a half-dozen different expressions for Harley and her “mermaid costume,” but you also get Bud and Lou!
