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

Dan Greenfield, editor, 13th Dimension
Wonder Woman #204 Facsimile Edition, DC. One of the most creative choices for a Facsimile Edition, this 1972 issue featured not only the return of Diana Princes’s powers after years as an Emma Peel-esque adventurer, but also the debut of Nubia (who would make a great modern Mego, by the way).
—
Grayson: The Superspy Omnibus, DC. Remember when Dick Grayson “died” and became a secret agent for Spyral? Those were some damn entertaining comics by Tom King, Tim Seeley, Mikel Janin, et al. The run also cemented what we all know: Dickie Boy is hot.
—
Castle of Frankenstein #36, MyMovieMonsters.com. A revival of the cult-fave horror/pop-culture magazine that began 60 years ago in 1962. The mag had a revival back in the 2000s and now it’s up for another go-around. Gotta check it out.
This is my fave from the original run, by the way. Big surprise:

Scott Tipton, contributor-at-large, 13th Dimension
Stargirl: The Lost Children #1, DC. I kind of think of Stargirl as the last great addition to the DC Universe, and artist Todd Nauck is always great with younger characters, so I’m in for this.
—
Mighty Marvel Masterworks: Namor the Sub-Mariner Vol. 1 — The Quest Begins!, Marvel. Hard to be mad about a big stack of Stan Lee/Gene Colan Namor stories.
—
Thor Epic Collection: The Thor War, Marvel. I passed on this back in the day, but I feel like I should give it another chance now.

I’d pass on that Thor book. DeFalco is never a name that makes me want to pick up a book, plus those costume choices just scream ‘bad 90’s comics!’ to me.
