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

Dan Greenfield, editor, 13th Dimension
Detective Comics #1000, DC. You might have heard this one is coming. No? Click here. Or maybe click here. Or both! Peter Tomasi and Doug Mahnke have a big story in this one, but they’re joined by a wrecking crew of fellow Batcreators, such as Neal Adams, Denny O’Neil, Scott Snyder, Greg Capullo, Paul Dini, Warren Ellis, Kevin Smith, Jim Lee, Brian Michael Bendis and many others.
—
Dial H for Hero #1, DC. Sam Humphries and Joe Quinones bring back the fizzy Silver Age cult classic as part of Bendis’ Wonder Comics imprint. Dial H pops up every once in awhile. Let’s hope this one gets a nice run.
—
The Incredible Hulk #181 Facsimile Edition, Marvel. Love the True Believers dollar reprints. Love these $3.99 full-issue reprints even more. I hope there’s a Count Dante ad in this one. I’ve never actually read an actual Hulk #181 copy, so I have no idea.
—
Action Comics #1009, DC. Clark and Lois go undercover as Leviathan rises. By Bendis and Steve Epting. Whee!
—
GLOW #1, IDW. I really dig the show, so I kinda have to find out how it works as a comic. From Tini Howard and Hannah Templer.
—
Scott Tipton, co-owner, Blastoff Comics, North Hollywood, Calif.
Batgirl: The Bronze Age Omnibus Vol. 2 HC, DC. Collected for the first time here are the hard-to-find Batgirl stories from the pages of Batman Family and Detective Comics. For you Barbara Gordon completists out there, this is for you.
—
Secret Avengers by Remender Complete Collection TPB, Marvel. Rick Remender had a great little Avengers run a few years back, with a really unique team roster. Good to have it all under one cover.
—
Sgt. Fury Epic Collection: The Howling Commandos TPB, Marvel. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby’s original WWII-era tales, finally collected in full color! Wa-hoo!

I look forward the most to “Detective Comics” issue 1,000.
