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

—

Dan Greenfield, editor, 13th Dimension

Action Comics #1103, DC. We’ve gotten Lex Luthor’s origin 1,000,006 times already, but Mark Waid has an unerring talent for drawing out new ideas from old ones.

Plus, dig the Man of Steel-inspired variant cover by Ryan Sook:

—

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #56, DC. The Ra’s al Ghul saga continues.

And if you believe Adrian Gutierrez’s variant, we’re getting a duel in the desert. Oh, hooray!

—

Detective Comics #298 Facsimile Edition, DC. The first appearance of the shape-shifting Clayface, from 1961. Just in time for this week’s release of the movie, which I have no interest in seeing because I can barely tolerate body horror. Credit to DC Studios for the attempt, though.

—

Detective Comics #1114, DC. Getting chilly in Gotham with Mr. and Mrs. Freeze!

—

Nightwing #143, DC. Nightwing and Robin. Never gets old.

—

Marvel’s Mastering the Art of Comics, Random House Worlds. The latest from our old pal, the ever-prolific Alex Segura. Didja hear he’s taking over The Phantom comic strip? It’s true!

—

Superman Unlimited #18, DC. Public service announcement: The Royal Flush Gang is in this one!

—

Scott Tipton, contributor-at-large, 13th Dimension

Blade Epic Collection: His Name Is… Blade, Marvel. Confession time: I’ve never read any of the original Blade appearances. Time to remedy that.

—

Ghost Rider Epic Collection: To Slay a Demon, Marvel. With two appearances by my favorite Ghost Rider bad guy, the Orb!

—

Batman by Darwyn Cooke: Absolute Edition, DC. The departed and much-missed Darwyn Cooke was an absolute master, and I can’t wait to have all his Batman tales collected in one volume.

Dan adds: Click here for a SNEAK PEEK.

—

Marvel: X-Men — The Ultimate Guide, DK Publishing. I do love me a nice, thick DK reference book, and the X-Men are long overdue in getting one.
