Scott and Dan pick the comics they’re most looking forward to…
—
Dan Greenfield, editor, 13th Dimension
Batman and Robin: Year One — Dynamic Duos #4, DC. Ah, yes. Robin’s worst nightmare. A gag that goes all the way back to Catwoman’s first appearance in 1940’s Batman #1.
—
Superman #199 Facsimile Edition, DC. The first Superman/Flash race! A Silver Age classic! Yay!
—
Action Comics #1104, DC. Part 2 of Lex Luthor: Year One — and dig this Jerry Ordway homage cover by Ryan Sook, one of a run he’s doing for this arc.
—
Emperor Doom, Marvel. Doom! Doom! And more Doom! Marvel is all about Doom! This is a reprint of 1987’s Marvel Graphic Novel #27. Not considered a Facsimile Edition because the original was printed at a larger scale and this is standard comic-book format.
—
Back Issue! #171, TwoMorrows. Speaking of Doom…
—
Barbara Gordon: Breakout #7, DC. I’m actually a couple issues behind, but just for kicks I’ll point out that I prefer Two-Face’s scarred side green, even if it’s not particularly realistic.
—
Josie and the Pussycats Rock On! One-Shot, Archie. The popular annual Josie issue. I’m getting Matt Talbot’s Black Hood cover because I will always support the MLJ heroes. (Black Hood’s in the issue.)
—
The Amazing Spider-Man #1003, Marvel. You oughta check out the Steve Rude variant!
—
Dick Tracy: Veteran’s Day Special One-Shot, Mad Cave. Dick Tracy in World War II, by our pal Alex Segura, Michael Moreci and co.
—
The Complete Tales From the Crypt: The EC Archives, Dark Horse. The whole damn series! More than 1,000 pages in a $150 paperback collection.
—
The Further Adventures of Indiana Jones #1 Facsimile Edition, Marvel. Celebrating the movie’s 45th anniversary — and promoting the recently released (vegan) leatherbound, two-book set of the entire 34-issue series, plus the adaptations of the original three films. This ish is by John Byrne and Terry Austin.
—
Godzilla vs. America: New York City One-Shot, IDW. The big guy’s travelogue of destruction brings him to the greatest city on the planet. I’d wager this issue is a lot better than the 1998 Matthew Broderick flick.
—
Scott Tipton, contributor-at-large, 13th Dimension
Planet of the Apes Versus Fantastic Four Trade Paperback, Marvel. I do love me a crazy Planet of the Apes crossover.
—
DC Finest: Superman — The Man of Steel, DC. John Byrne’s landmark relaunch of Superman was a huge deal at the time, and certainly is worth looking at again.
—
Wonder Woman by Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang Compendium, DC. I can never get enough of Cliff Chiang’s work.
