What does the comics industry have coming for us this week?
- Scott Snyder’s “House of Owls” arc in “Batman” gets its next issue. As recommended by our own Nathan Birch, it’s some of the best Batman in years.
- Also, there’s more of the best Wonder Woman in years. So, really, all DC has to do now is find somebody who can write a decent Superman book and they’re doing well. Until then, we’ll have to settle for the excellent “Supergirl”.
- Marvel has the next issue of “Avengers Vs. X-Men” hitting the stands. Remember, kids, we’ve got a deadpool going, so you might as well try to get the most out of your four bucks.
- Image has more “Prophet” and “Walking Dead”, and apparently the kind of bland “Bloodstrike” sold enough issues to merit a second printing. Of the Liefeld reboots: go with “Prophet”.
- Dark Horse wraps up “The Long Death” and starts up Peter Bagge’s “Reset”.
- IDW has more “Rocketeer Adventures”, an anthology comic based on the Dave Stevens character that had a really fun first issue (it’s worth it just for one story about how the Rocketeer may have inspired a young Clark Kent).
- Garth Ennis’ take on “The Shadow” starts today, courtesy of Dynamite.
- And BOOM! wraps up its adorable “Peanuts” miniseries and continues with “Irredeemable”
Let us know what you’re buying in the comments, and as always, the full, verified by Diamond list is under the jump.
