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

Scott Tipton, contributor-at-large, 13th Dimension
Justice League International Omnibus Vol. 2, DC. Finally, this long-delayed edition — by Keith Giffen, J.M. DeMatteis, Adam Hughes and Bart Sears — sees the light of day. The JLI completists among you may want to pick this up because I suspect some of these comics won’t see print again for many a year. (The buzz is that this was back-burnered for a while because it includes some work by Gerard Jones, who was imprisoned on child porn charges.)

Conan: Battle for the Serpent Crown TPB, Marvel. Wait a minute – Marvel published a story where Conan the Barbarian searched for the Serpent Crown?! How did I miss this?! (By Saladin Ahmed and Luke Ross.)
—
The Art of Star Wars: The Mandalorian, Abrams. Nothing since The Empire Strikes Back has had me this jazzed and invested in the Star Wars universe. The Mandalorian is my favorite thing on TV these days, and I can’t wait to dive into all the development art. (Dan adds: Great, goddamn show.)

That “Mandalorian” cover I enjoy mostly for the Child.
