BATMAN STREETS OF GOTHAM #12 – Paul Dini & Dustin Nguyen pick up the pieces in the aftermath of the Zsasz story arc and a new adventure is about to begin. Streets has consistently been the best Bat-book over the last few months.
SPIRIT #2 – The first issue of the Spirit was so promising that Spirit #2 makes the Hot List this week. The “Black & White” back-up story this month features renown Science Fiction author Harlan Ellison with art by the inimitable Kyle Baker.
AVENGERS #1 (Heroic Age) – Brian Michael Bendis & John Romita JR. usher the Marvel Universe into the Heroic Age. For better or worse, it’s all lead up to this. Meet the new Avengers line-up… the team that will have to face the return of Iron Lad! Opps… Kang the Conqueror!
INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #26 (Heroic Age) – Tony Stark is back! While Team Stark struggles to get the Ol’ Business back up and running, Team Hammer’s Detroit Steel makes its public debut. Invincible Iron Man is rebounding nicely into the Heroic Age.
X-FACTOR #205 (Second Coming tie-in) – While X-Factor is “not exactly” a Second Coming “chapter”, last month’s X-Factor was probably the best this series has been over the last few years. Bolivar Trask’s death trap is sprung! Can X-Factor escape? Or the way things have been going for the good guys, a better question might be… who won’t survive the death trap?!?
X-MEN LEGACY #236 (Second Coming tie-in) – Chapter 8 of the most exciting Crossover event of the last decade is here! The X-men are trapped on their island paradise and Bastion’s grip is tightening. If you have ever thought about checking out this whole “X-men thing” now is the time. Second printings of the earlier chapters are coming out weekly. Second Coming is the perfect jumping on point for new readers and old X-fans looking to come home again!
