Dan Greenfield, editor, 13th Dimension
Krypto: The Last Dog of Krypton #2, DC. Loved the first issue. Loved it. My cover of choice is this variant by Rafael De Latorre.

Batman #655 Facsimile Edition, DC. The first issue of Grant Morrison’s uneven, but often transcendent run on the character. This ish introduced Damian into main Bat-continuity…

Batman & Robin: Year One #9, DC. Keep your eyes on the prize, Robin.

Scott Tipton, contributor-at-large, 13th Dimension
Godzilla: The First 70 Years: The Official Illustrated History of the Japanese Productions, Abrams. I find myself becoming more of a Godzilla fan with every passing year, and this lavishly illustrated hardcover history is a no-brainer.

DC Finest — Science Fiction: The Gorilla World, DC. This is obscure even by my standards, and that’s saying something. I have to know more.

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #41, DC. Bizarro Lois is back!
