Batman Superman World’s Finest #15 – The first appearance of Ultra-Morpho. Writer Mark Waid and artist Dan Mora are bringing the goods to this series.
Superman #4 – The first appearance of Kryptonite Claw. Will this actually be a Superman-like character with Wolverine claws or something completely different? What’s your guess? Either way, it’s a first appearance.
Venom #19 – There seems to be a little buzz around this comic. There are secret covers not being shown and the tease we may have a new Venom. No idea really, but keep an eye on this one.
Wonder Woman #799 – The big two are forever chasing their past glory. Case in point here, with this two-part story. We’re not saying great stories cannot be told in today’s modern era, but there is a consistent reaching into the past for “new ideas”. Back in 1986, Alan Moore wrote what many consider the greatest Superman story ever. It was called “Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow.” There have been countless attempts to meet that quality of storytelling within the “Whatever Happened” genre ever since 1986. While many were fantastic attempts, many were easily forgotten. Not to say it cannot happen again, but there is only one Miller/Dark Knight, Gaiman/Sandman, Starlin/Death of Captain Marvel, Moore/Watchmen, etc. for a reason. These writers, and some others, have defined the character or comic storytelling for the duration of life pertaining to the comic book medium. These stories are written “once” and the chase to grab that lightning again begins, and in most cases always falls short. Writers Becky Cloonan and Michael W. Conrad, who are amazing storytellers, will try their attempt at “Whatever Happened to the Warrior of Truth.” A story that’ll lead right into the 800th issue of Wonder Woman. It will probably be a ridiculously great story, but will it capture like the 1986 story did? Only time will time really, but until that time, we’re there for this story 100%.
Arcade Kings #1 – New Image Comics miniseries written and drawn by Dylan Burnett. First appearance of video gamer Joe and everyone/everything else.
