The more and more I’ve read with Spider-Boy, the more intriguing he gets. I think Bailey’s got enough interesting character traits to set him apart from the rest of the Spider-Man family, and I’m very curious to see what kind of history he’s been alluding to so far. It’s worth checking out!

I’m definitely seeing the bomber jacket look come back in full-swing with a lot of characters lately; Superman’s family recently got costume redesigns that all share a jacket similar to this one, and I think I’m a fan of how it looks. keep an eye on this book!

In a similar vein to other Marvel characters like Deadpool, Moon Knight, Elektra, etc., Marvel Zombies returns with a 4-issue miniseries featuring multiple diverse creative teams telling a wide array of different horrific and gory stories in the Marvel Zombies universe.

It’s nice to see a lot of JSA members finally start to get their time in the limelight after Death Metal (I promise that’s my last light pun). Check this one out!

The Justice League confronts the massive power of Legendary Pictures’ Monsterverse in this very special crossover mini-series! When Godzilla and Kong emerge into the world of DC Comics, it’s up to the Justice League to cease the massive clash between the two titans.
I’m super excited for this book, and it looks like DC is treating it with the reverence it deserves. Tons of stellar looking variants, and there’s even one that includes SFX! If you’re a big Kaiju fan, definitely check this book out!

Little does she know that the ship’s dangerous crew will cause her more than a little trouble!
DSTLRY looks like a promising publishing line, and this book looks very classy in presentation. I’m not personally familiar wth the creator’s line of work, but I’ll definitely be keeping my eye on this one!
