Scott and Dan pick the comics they’re most looking forward to…
Scott Tipton, contributor-at-large, 13th Dimension
Wonder Woman: Silver Age Omnibus, Vol. 1, DC. There’s a wonderful fairy-tale quality to these Wonder Woman classics from Robert Kanigher and Ross Andru. Just don’t go looking for a lot of consistent issue-to-issue continuity.
—
Avengers Epic Collection: Judgment Day, Marvel. The end of Roger Stern’s legendary run on the series, plus the underrated classic Avengers graphic novel Emperor Doom!
—
Star Trek: The Mirror War #3, IDW. More Mirror Universe backstabbing from David Tipton, Gavin Smith and yours truly! (Chief O’Brien fans especially need to check in this week. Just sayin’…)
—
Marvel Masterworks: Fantastic Four Vol. 23, Marvel. Finally, John Byrne’s epic stint as writer and artist hits Masterworks hardcovers!
—
Dan Greenfield, editor, 13th Dimension
Robin 8-Inch Action Figure, Mego. This has been out for a while, but now it’s hitting comics shops. I can say, without reservation and without hyperbole, that this is one of the greatest Megos ever – old or new. Gorgeous.
—
Moon Knight Epic Collection: Shadows of the Moon (New Printing), Marvel. When I was reading Batman in the early ’80s, the older kids where I got my comics kept telling me Moon Knight was better. The height of popularity for this cult character – thanks to Doug Moench, Bill Sienkiewicz, Denys Cowan, et al.
—
Marvel Masterworks: The Invincible Iron Man Vol. 14, Marvel. The aftermath of Demon in a Bottle! – by the stellar team of David Michelinie, Bob Layton and John Romita Jr. Some of the best Iron Man you’ll ever read.
—
Batgirl of Burnside Omnibus, DC. Cameron Stewart, Brenden Fletcher and Babs Tarr gave us some of the best Batgirl stories since the Bronze Age with this reboot of sorts. I still can’t believe DC has gotten rid of this costume, which is one of the best designs of the past decade or so.

Non-Sport Update Vol. 32 #6, Non-Sport Update. The Brady Bunch! Gotta buy this, then settle in for MeTV’s Brady Brunch.
