Today, friends and family and many CGS podcast listeners from all over gathered in Reading, PA. to remember and celebrate the life of Jamie D. And in that honor, today’s recommendations for the week of May 7th are those comics that I feel he would’ve enjoyed:

OTHER:
Along with the above recommendations, other comics worth noting:
– Amelia Cole and the Hidden War GN from IDW
– Cyclops 1. Interesting to me that the younger version gains a solo series over the “original”. Or maybe it features both?
– Epic 1
– New 52 Futures End 1. The second of three weekly series from DC begins.
– Original Sin 1
– Weapons of Mass Diplomacy HC:
