Dan Greenfield, editor, 13th Dimension
The Deadman #1, DC. W. Maxwell Prince and Martin Morazzo’s recently completed The Kryptonite Spectrum was the best Superman story I’ve read in years. Will they have the same magic with Deadman? I’m willing to bet on it.

Batman #10, DC. There is something about a red-on-black Batman logo.
Plus, check out Ryan Sook’s excellent variant:
—
Batman Vol. 1: Daylight, DC. Collects the first six issues of the Fraction/Jimenez run, available in both hardcover and trade paperback. I’ve been thinking of going back and reading these in one sitting.

In response to “There is something about a red-on-black Batman logo.” Black with red has always been my favorite color combo. I never gave the reason for it a lot of thought. One day, I was watching Batman 66 and it hit me. The Batmobile is black with red trim. I’m sure that subconsciously caused by fondness for the red and black combo. It all comes back to Batman, my friends.
