AND MORE…

DARK HORSE
– Great stuff this month, including a new Blacksad HC: Amarillo by Juan Diaz Canales and Juanjo Guarnido; a new 48-page format for Dark Horse Presents; an interesting 4-issue mini-series titled POP! that’s billed as We3 meets True Romance; and the HC collection of the first volume of Concrete Park by Tony Puryear and Erika Alexander.

DC COMICS
Multiversity begins! ‘Nuff said
New Teen Titans FINALLY gets a softcover, color trade treatment with volume 1 collecting the 16-page preview and the first eight issues. There’s been an Archive and an Omnibus, but this is the first time a more affordable collection has been offered. Now you can go catch up on those old Tower episodes of mine!
– Speaking of the NTT, Secret Origins 5 has a Cyborg story by creator Marv Wolfman
– Random thought about Smallville: how much longer can they keep “Season 11” going? It’s been years – time for an upgrade to 12, no?
– Final issues of Superboy, Birds of Prey, Batwing and All-Star Western. Also both Trinity of Sin books – only to be replaced later by an actual Trinity of Sin comic. Why couldn’t they get a Question book out while Pandora and Phantom Stranger were running? That would’ve at least made a true Trinity of titles at the time. Such a missed opportunity on that one.

IDW
– Dave Wachter provides art for the Godzilla: Cataclysm five issue mini-series
Wonder Woman Complete Newspaper Strips collects the entire year plus run by the same creative team from the comics of William Moulton Marston and Harry G. Peters.
