Moon Knight – Jed McKay seems to be the new Marvel wünderkind, with a large number of titles across the line that I’ve never read. I’ve always had a fondness for Moon Knight, and while I feel like Jeff Lemire’s recent run said just about all there is to say about his mental health issues, I’m curious to see a new take. I’ve decided to give this book one arc and see how I feel about it.
Superman & The Authority – I don’t have the trust in Grant Morrison that I used to, but I definitely think it’s time that the Authority returns to comics, and I’m curious to see how he’s going to weave them into the latest version of the DC Universe. This looks like it could be good.
This week I’m looking forward to new issues of Alien, Ascender, Black Hammer Reborn, Chu, Deadly Class, Gamma Flight, Guardians of the Galaxy, Jupiter’s Legacy: Requiem, Marauders, Miles Morales: Spider-Man, New Mutants, Star Wars: Darth Vader, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, and Undiscovered Country.
I’ve recently discovered that Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo’s Nightwing is very very good, and I’m adding it to my pullfile as of this week’s issue.
I’m not sure about Shazam. Generally, I find it hard to get into comics that feature him, but I’ve been liking the work that Tim Sheridan has been doing in Teen Titans Academy, and he’s also writing this book. Maybe I’ll give the first issue a shot.

I just figured out this last week that I should have been reading Nightwing. What a great run!

In Tom Taylor I trust. I’ll at least sample any project he’s working on. I concur about Nightwing; it’s well done on story and art. I’m also curious what he’ll do as writer on Superman: Son of Kal-El.
Anyhow, what did you gentle reader pick up last week?
