HOT PICKS! On Sale This Week!

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

Dan Greenfield, editor, 13th Dimension

Metamorpho: The Element Man #2, DC. All I have to say is what I said in this piece: If You Love Classic Comics, Then You Must Read DC’s New METAMORPHO. And it’s really, really true. Highest recommendation. I’m getting the Guillem March variant:

Scott adds: Element Girl is back? Outstanding!

Comic Book Creator #37, TwoMorrows. Steve Englehart? Can’t go wrong. Also a good time to remind you that my lengthy, intensive Batman interview with Steve will be included in TwoMorrows’ upcoming illustrated bio Marshall Rogers: Brightest Days & Darkest Knights. CBC #37 will be at comics shops and mag sellers but you can also get it directly from the publisher. Click here.

Justice League Unlimited #3, DC. Still taking it issue by issue, but I like what I’ve seen so far. (I have a hard time committing to ongoings unless I’m immediately blown away, like Metamorpho.)

Archie Is Mr. Justice #2, Archie. There’ve been 1,000,006 homages to George Perez’s Crisis on Infinite Earths #7 cover, so what’s one more? This is fun.

Scott Tipton, columnist, 13th Dimension

Doctor Doom & Rocket Raccoon #1, Marvel. The first of J. Michael Straczynski’s wacky Marvel team-up one-shots!

Astro City Metrobook Vol. 6, Image. Astro City is always a must-buy. Collects Vol. 3 Issues #35-52.

Limited Collectors’ Edition #C-48: Superman vs. the Flash Facsimile Edition, DC. I can’t get enough of these treasury-size reprints. Like a white-hot shot of nostalgia.

Dan adds: He’s right. There were a ton of these and hopefully DC will keeping doing this for a good, long time. And it’s way past due for Marvel to get on board! This edition has foil and sketch covers, by the by.

Iron Man Epic Collection Vol. 13: Stark Wars, Marvel. It’s Tony Stark versus anyone using his stolen armor tech, in this classic run from David Michelinie, Bob Layton and Mark Bright!

  2. DC is firing on all cylinders right now, IMHO. I think I am actively reading almost every title currently being published by them, not just paging through. Highlights for me are: Superman & Action Comics, World’s Finest, Green Lantern, Batgirl, Justice League Unlimited, Black Lightning, Challengers of the Unknown, Metamorpho, Birds of Prey, and The New Gods. Even books I was skeptical about are turning out wonderfully and adding to the characters in great ways (I was very wary of the Absolute books, but they are a blast!). Plus, I am loving the background doom that is slowly building across the DCU.

    I’ve been reading DC for 44+ years now through highs and lows. This 100% is a high point.
