Dan Greenfield, editor, 13th Dimension
Heroes in Crisis #1, DC. This book will not be for everybody but I do recommend at least checking out the first issue. The 9-part event by Tom King, Clay Mann, Tomeu Morey and co. details the impact of PTSD on the DCU’s supers amid the carnage of a deadly attack on them.

Spider-Geddon #0, DC. Man, I wish I played video games. Because everyone is talking about the new Spider-Man. In this lead-in to the new comics Spider-Event, the game’s version of everyone’s favorite wall-crawler officially joins the mainstream Marvel multiverse. By Christos Gage and Clayton Crain.

Archie Meets Batman ’66 #3, DC. We’ve been having a lot of fun covering this series, so naturally we’re looking forward to the latest issue by Jeff Parker, Michael Moreci, Dan Parent, J. Bone, Kelly Fitzpatrick and Jack Morelli. (Click here for a SNEAK PEEK.)

Doomsday Clock #7, DC. I admit I don’t like bimonthly books because for the most part, I tend to forget what happened in the previous issue.
