Scott and Dan pick the comics they’re most looking forward to this week …

Dan Greenfield, editor, 13th Dimension
Batman #54, DC. I’ve been saying for some time that DC needs to put out a Batman and Robin: The Early Years ongoing. Something that will give us a modern take on the original Dynamic Duo. C’mon, you’d read that in a heartbeat, wouldn’t you? Anyway, at least we’ve got this: Tom King’s look at Bruce and Dick’s relationship, from then to now, with line art by Matt Wagner. (That’s one of my favorite covers in a long while, by the way. Love it.)
—
Justice League #7, DC. Have you been enjoying this whole Legion of Doom business as much as I have? This issue has writer Scott Snyder teamed with artists Jim Cheung, Mark Morales and Tomeu Morey.
—
Captain America #3, Marvel. Cap and Black Panther – by Ta-Nehisi Coates and penciller Leinil Francis Yu. ‘Nuff said.
—
Super Weird Heroes Vol. 2: Preposterous But True!, Yoe Books/IDW. Another brilliant collection of some of the most bizarre superheroes ever. (Click here for a SNEAK PEEK.)
—
Scott Tipton, co-owner, Blastoff Comics, North Hollywood, Calif.
Batman by Jeph Loeb & Tim Sale Omnibus HC, DC Comics. Loeb and Sale are one of my all-time favorite Batman creative teams. This will be a nice collection to have.
—
Walt Disney’s Donald Duck Vol. 12, The Black Pearls of Tabu Yama, by Carl Barks, Fantagraphics. Another beautiful hardcover full of Carl Barks Duck goodness. Keep’ em coming!
—
Asgardians of the Galaxy #1, Marvel. I almost have to buy this just for the title pun. But Frog Thor is back too? Sold. (By Cullen Bunn, Matteo Lolli and Federico Blee.)
