AVERY KAPLAN: This weekend, I’ll be testing The Complete Omni by Melody Cooper, Devin Grayson, Alitha E. Martinez, Giovanni Valletta, Cris Bolson and Enid Balám.

RICARDO SERRANO: I acquired my arms this week on Mark Russell and Michael Allred’s Superman: Space Age. I’m a sucker for Cold War tales, so seeing Supes attempt to grapple with the Kennedy Assassination and the Cuban Missile Crisis is strictly what I want. I’m additionally a sucker for Rusell’s model of writing, which by no means fails to be humorous, poignant, and thought-provoking. Allred on artwork is simply the cherry on high. The ebook was nominated for an Eisner award too, so it’ll be attention-grabbing to see what makes it so particular.
CY BELTRAN: I’m making an attempt to atone for all of my studying this week, and that begins with extra of Stephen King’s The Shining, however I additionally plan on leaping into Wasp, from Al Ewing, Kasia Nie, KJ Díaz, and Cory Petit. I’ve been saving the entire sequence to learn right through directly and now’s the time to do it. I additionally assume I’ll begin the Guardians of the Galaxy recreation for the PS4. I don’t play lots of video video games, however I snagged a duplicate of this after seeing such rave evaluations on-line (even when I’m behind the curve by some time). Maybe I’ll even get to see Vol. 3 this weekend, who is aware of!
TAIMUR DAR: My first introduction to comedian creator Matt Fraction was by way of his Marvel work again once I was getting again into comics. It occurred to me that I’ve but to take a look at his November graphic novel sequence with artist Elsa Charretier together with colorist: Matt Hollingsworth and letterer Kurt Ankeny. I goal to rectify that by studying November Vol. 1: The Girl on the Roof over the weekend.
DEAN SIMONS: Looking like one other heavy work weekend however I’ll unwind with some extra sluggish studying: Blake & Mortimer: The Yellow ‘M’ – I’ve reached the ultimate act of Edgar P.
