It’s a new week in the world of comic books. That means all of us geeks will be making a pilgrimage to the local comic book shop to pick up whatever new issues are heading our way. This is a big week in comic book world, especially for fans of DC Comics, because there are a number of new books with old ties heading our way.
The big news this week is the return of the original numbering to Action Comics and Detective Comics. That’s right, the Superman and Batman books are bound and determined to reach the 1000 issue mark, which is pretty impressive for any comic book. Given these will be twice a month books, it's not going to take long for either book to crack the fourth digit.
Action Comics #957 kicks in with a regular cover and a Ryan Sook variant cover, and Detective Comics #934 comes back with a regular cover and a variant by Rafael Albuquerque. In addition, Flash Rebirth, Aquaman Rebirth, and Wonder Woman Rebirth are all set to hit the shelves as well. As far as must buys go, the Rebirth one-shots might be interesting down the line, but Detective 934 and Action 957 are probably going to be as hot as a book can get these days (at least from the Big Two). If have not reserved your copies, take the time to write an email because these two in particular are going to fly off shelves faster than a speeding bullet.
Over at Marvel, Civil War II starts to hit full stride with a few more tie-in issues heading out. GI JOE, Godzilla, and even Henchgirl are all set to pop onto the radar of fans and collectors this week as well. Should be a pretty big week of reading and debating going on, who knows how crazy things will get?
So far Rebirth has been a huge hit for DC, especially Batman Rebirth, with just about everything carrying the banner selling out like crazy. With second and third printings on the way for several of those issues, it’s going to be interesting to see exactly how things go down. All we can offer up is a simple and straight forward—stay tuned.
