Batman Incorporated #4
By: Grant Morrison and Chris Burnham
Publisher: DC Comics
Price: $2.99
The Lowdown: I feel like it has been forever since an issue of Batman Inc had come out. Finally, we get an issue, and this one is focusing on Wingman and his sidekick, Redbird, the Swedish members of Batman Inc.
Justice League Dark #13
By: Jeff Lemire, Mikel Janin, and Ryan Sook
Publisher: DC Comics
Price: $2.99
The Lowdown: With news that Lemire’s Frankenstein: Agent of SHADE is being cancelled, I feel like I should pump this book a little. Maybe get some people to start reading. There newest development is that The House of Mystery and the House of Secrets now actually exist in the DC universe as cosmic haunted houses instead of just old school horror anthologies.
Talon #1
By: Scott Snyder and Guillem March
Publisher: DC Comics
Price: $2.99
The Lowdown: This is Snyder’s new book spinning out of his “Night of the Owls” story arc of Batman. It follows escape artist, Calvin Rose, as he tries to run away from his destiny as a Talon assassin. If it is as consistent as American Vampire and Batman, this should be another great title.
Alan Robert Killogy #1 (of 4)
By: Alan Robert
Publisher: IDW Publishing
Price: $3.99
The Lowdown: This is IDW’s newest title that sounds like it will be a prison gladiator story where killer inmates are forced to fight each other. The 3 main characters are drawn to look like The Sopranos’ Frank Vincent, The Ramones’ Marky Ramone, and Heroes’ Bea Grant.
Captain America #19
By: Ed Brubaker, Scot Eaton, and Steve Epting
Publisher: Marvel Comics

Punisher War Zone #1 (of 5)
By: Greg Rucka and Marco Chacchetto
Publisher: Marvel Comics
Price: $2.99
The Lowdown: It is The Punisher vs. The Avengers. ‘Nuff said. This is what the newest Punisher book has been working toward. This is really the series that The Punisher’s entire existence has been working toward.
