Scott and Dan pick the comics they’re most looking forward to…
—
Scott Tipton, contributor-at-large, 13th Dimension
Batman Adventures — Batgirl: A League of Her Own, DC. This is a great little collection of the outstanding Batgirl stories from the ’90s run of Batman: The Animated Series comics, featuring contributions by BTAS architects Paul Dini and Bruce Timm!
—
The Power of Shazam Book 1: In the Beginning, DC Comics. Jerry Ordway and Peter Krause’s often overlooked series is a true gem. So happy it’s back in print.
—
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine — Too Long a Sacrifice #3, IDW. Odo and Worf’s homicide investigation carries on, as tension mounts and the body count rises! DS9’s return to comics continues! By David Tipton, Greg Scott and yours truly.

Dan Greenfield, editor, 13th Dimension
Spider-Man #1 Facsimile Edition, Marvel. Todd McFarlane’s Spidey classic is available again – 30 years later.
—
The Art of Frank Cho, Flesk Publications. Cho is the 21st century’s answer to Dave Stevens and his art is utterly entrancing. This retrospective captures the first two decades of his illustrious career.
—
2021 Vintage Batman Calendar, Asgard Press. Welp, too bad Marvel’s black-light poster calendar isn’t coming. But at least you can pick this gorgeous tribute to Batman. (There are also calendars for Superman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, general DC Comics and Planet Comics.)
—
B&V Friends Jumbo Comics Digest #283, Archie. It’s August, so even if you’re social distancing, there’s only so much time left to hit the beach. And don’t forget: It’s always fun to bring along an Archie summer digest.

Excellent picks for this week.

I don’t think that DS9: Too Long A Sacrifice #3 is this week, Issue #2 hasn’t been released yet and at least one retailer has #2 listed as new this week for their stores.
