Pick of the Week: Scalped #34 – Just a giant, momentous issue for this series and probably the most important issue the series has seen in quite a while. Every character finds him or herself in a significantly new position, but cliffhanger’s also abound. Red Crow has never been more of a badass, or more of a hero for that matter, while Dash has never been uglier. It’s a subtle shift that Scalped readers will really appreciate. Just a fantastic conclusion to a really, really good arc. Trade-waiters are going to have a great one on their hands when this gets collected.
Most Anticipated: Unwritten #10 – While #9 was a surprisingly nasty issue, it also left this series in a very interesting place. Carey pulled back the veil just a little bit and injected just a little more magic, and the result seems to be limitless potential. I can’t wait to see where this series goes after the major events of last month.
Other Picks: Punishermax #4, DMZ #50, Batman & Robin #8, Secret Six #18, Amazing Spider-Man #620
DS’s Top Picks
Pick of the Week: Blackest Night: Wonder Woman #3 -Amid a relatively average field, Blackest Night: Wonder Woman #3 took the title. Johns’ opus is showing us not only the nature of the power rings in the DCU, but the nature of the characters who wield them, including our favorite Amazon!
Most Anticipated: Batgirl #7 – Batgirl and Robin (explosive mix!) race into the devil’s Square to rescue Batman! Miller, Garbett and Scott continue to deliver a consistently strong DC series. Batman and Robin #8, guest-starring Batwoman is a close second!
Other Picks: Titans #22, Secret Six #18, Uncanny X-Men: First Class #8
