Every week, one item or another in my pull and hold stands out for me above the rest in one way or another. Sometimes it’s a periodical, sometimes a graphic novel, sometimes a collection. Does that happen to you? If so, let’s hear about it here. It can be an item you’ve long anticipated or something you bought on a whim. If it’s something you were really looking forward to but ended up being a big disappointment, let’s hear about that here, too. I’ve been meaning to start this topic for a long time now, but chose today to post about something I’ve been waiting for a long time, long before it was even solicited.

SILVER SURFER EPIC COLLECTION BY STEVE ENGLEHART AND MARSHAL ROGERS

This is a favorite run of mine, but I’ve read it only twice: once as it was released, and I re-read it once after that. It came out as an “ESSENTIAL” a few years ago, but for this I held out for color.

EDIT: Most weeks I make my picks before I have read them, but feel free to choose either the books you anticipate most before you read or enjoy the most after you have read them.

Dark Crisis On Infinite Earths #6:  While this series has had its moments, overall, it's been a disappointment.  One more issue to go.

The New Golden Age #1: An OK book, but not near as good as I'd hoped it would be.  As for the "Lost Thirteen" characters, I may have more to say about them later.

I haven't read any of this week's new comics yet, but I feel confident posting my "pick" in advance.

I said  I wasn't going to do this, but I declare this week's pick a tie.

Avengers: War Across Time #1

Wasp #1

Two first issues this week:

I had high hopes for this one, but...
