  • Captain America #695 – Since Black Widow ended, I’ve missed the team of Mark Waid and Chris Samnee. Captain America is a good character for their approach to things, as they have to rehabilitate the character after Secret Empire. It should be good.
  • Deathstroke #25 – Priest has been killing it on this series, and things just keep getting better. This issue brings a long-simmering plot line to the boil, and features a lot of super villains. It should be cool.
  • I’m also looking forward to Lazarus X+66, Paper Girls, Walking Dead, Iceman, Inhumans, and Spider-Man this week. I’m curious to check out No. 1 With a Bullet.

All in all a pretty light week, but a couple of big new titles to talk about.

  • DEADMAN #1 – I have been a fan of Boston Brand for as long as I can remember. To be honest, most writers don’t do him justice, but I am hoping Neal Adams can do some cool things here.
  • POWER PACK #63 – I was real surprised to see POWER PACK back in their own series. Do most comic readers even know who POWER PACK is? I always thought it was a fun idea, kids with super powers fighting aliens, so I will definitely give it a shot.
  • JETSONS #1 – Fans have been asking for this series ever since DC brought back THE FLINTSTONES. Jimmy Palmiotti has been trying to bring this to life for a long time now. If it’s even half as good as THE FLINTSTONES, this book will be awesome.
  • BLACK LIGHTNING: COLD DEAD HANDS #1 – Tony Isabella returns to BLACK LIGHTNING. I always thought BLACK LIGHTNING was an underappreciated character. He is getting his own CW show in the next few months, so hopefully this will help him get some traction with the audience.
  • ARCHIE #25 – ARCHIE has been a tricky series for me. I think on a whole, it’s been great, but too often I feel like I have to turn off my brain to ignore some of the strange plotholes that pop up. The last issue was a great example…the whole issue Betty’s father is trying to keep Archie away from seeing her, but it’s never clear why Archie couldn’t have just approached her at school.
