BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER #27 Season 8 continues.


SAGA OF SOLOMON KANE A trade paperback collecting Marvel Comics' adaptation of the Robert E. Howard pulp hero's adventures.


DC CLASSICS LIBRARY FLASH OF TWO WORLDS Spotlighting team-ups between the Silver- and Golden-age Flashes. Collects FLASH #123, 129, 137, 151 and 173.

DOOM PATROL #1 A new, Keith Giffen-scripted effort to revive this beloved team. Features a new Metal Men backup feature. Great combo, but I'll have to see if I dig the execution.

WEDNESDAY COMICS #5 Continuing DC's wonderful new tabloid-size anthology series.

AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #601 The 600th anniversary issue last month was a gem, featuring a warm, funny script by Dan Slott and pages upon pages of lovely John Romita Jr. art. A truly fun comic to read. This week sees the return of Mary Jane Watson in a script by Mark Waid, which could also be pretty danged good.

MARVEL MASTERWORKS GOLDEN AGE YOUNG ALLIES Vol. 1 Bucky, Toro and other young heroes take center stage in these 1940s adventures.

MARVEL MASTERWORKS SUB-MARINER Vol. 3 Silver Age Subby! Collecting SUB-MARINER #2-13.


SPIDER-MAN AND THE HUMAN TORCH Collecting Dan Slott's enjoyable mini from a few years back--a title that woke me up to the fact that not everything Marvel publishes these days is terrible, soul-less dreck.
