Detective Comics #994, DC. I’ve really missed Peter Tomasi on Batman, so it’s great to see him taking over Detective as it roars toward Issue #1000. He’s joined by artist Doug Mahnke.
—
Hawkman #7, DC. Comics’ most confusing hero gets an updated origin from Robert Venditti, Bryan Hitch and co. (Click here for an EXCLUSIVE PREVIEW.)
—
Hellboy Winter Special 2018, Dark Horse. Three wintry tales by Mike Mignola, with art by Ben Stenbeck, Fabio Moon and Gabriel Ba, Tonci Zonjic and Dave Stewart. Kinda sells itself, doesn’t it?
—
Superman #6, DC. Jon Kent returns from his deep-space sojourn – and you can expect changes to the Son of Steel, courtesy of Brian Michael Bendis, Ivan Reis, Joe Prado and crew.
—
The Avengers #11, Marvel. Thor and Hulk try to go on a date. Plus, a lot of political fallout due to the team’s recent moves. Jason Aaron, Ed McGuinness and their fellow artistic Avengers have you covered.
—
Batman: The Man Who Laughs #1, DC. Kicks off the miniseries starring the breakout villain from Metal. By Scott Snyder and Jock. (Click here for Snyder’s take on the 6-part series.)
—
Batman Annual #3, DC. Or maybe this should be called Alfred Annual #1. Bruce Wayne’s loyal aide de camp gets the spotlight in this issue by Tom Taylor, Otto Schmidt, et al.
—
Fantastic Four Wedding Special, Marvel. All the prep as Ben and Alicia prepare to get hitched later this month in Fantastic Four #5. By Gail Simone, Laura Braga, Dan Slott, Mark Buckingham – and Hembeck!
