After watching the latest show “Batman: Caped Crusader,” it sparked thoughts about the classic series, “Batman: The Animated Series.” Notably, many enthusiasts acknowledge that some of the best episodes from “The Animated Series” were penned by Paul Dini. However, what might surprise these fans is that after writing for the show, Dini also created outstanding Batman stories in “Detective Comics” and other titles. Fortunately, DC is reprinting a comprehensive collection this week that encompasses all of Dini’s Batman comics tales, featuring runs from “Detective Comics,” as well as stories from series like “Batman: Streets of Gotham,” “Batman: Gotham Knights,” and “Batman: Black and White.” This volume is an excellent addition to any fan’s collection of “Batman: The Animated Series” memorabilia. — Jamie Lovett

First introduced in May 1971, the May issue of House of Secrets marked a significant shift for the DC Universe by introducing Swamp Thing, a character who would leave an enduring impact on comics. Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson were responsible for bringing this character to life, setting the stage for numerous captivating and chilling tales that followed. With James Mangold’s upcoming movie set in James Gunn’s DCU, now is the perfect time to revisit the roots of Swamp Thing. This week’s new facsimile issue offers a fantastic chance to do just that, allowing you to delve into where it all began. — Jenna Anderson

Over the last two years, Rainbow Rowell and several other artists have played a significant role in updating She-Hulk for today’s world, coinciding with her debut on Disney+. This week marks the conclusion of the second installment of a fresh take on Sensational She-Hulk, filled with emotion, romance, and fun appearances by Jen Walters’ associates and adversaries. Unfortunately, this story arc is coming to an end prematurely, but I have high expectations for its satisfying conclusion. — Jenna Anderson
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Nightwatcher #1

- Published by IDW Publishing
The inaugural issue of Nightwatcher, a fresh series from emerging talent Juni Ba and ex-TMNT artist Fero Pe, marks an exciting expansion for IDW Publishing’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics, following the successful debut in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1. The mystery surrounding the true identity of the new Nightwatcher, a seemingly ruthless protector of Mutant Town while the Turtles are absent, has been kept under wraps by IDW. However, a free comic book day story released earlier this year hinted at the possibility that this enigmatic figure could be our next (anti-)hero. Readers eagerly await unmasking the Nightwatcher’s true identity as the series unfolds. — Jamie Lovett
X-Factor #1
- Written by Mark Russell
- Art by Bob Quinn
- Colors by Jesus Aburtov
- Letters by Joe Caramagna
- Published by Marvel Comics
In Marvel’s “From the Ashes” revamp of the X-Men series, there’s a strong sense of 1990s nostalgia, often associated with artists who would later establish Image Comics. However, another beloved comic from that era is frequently overlooked – it’s X-Factor, rebooted under writer Peter David and artists such as Larry Stroman and Joe Quesada. During this period in X-Men history, X-Factor deviated from its initial purpose (reuniting the original X-Men) to introduce a new X-Factor team consisting of secondary mutant characters with government backing and authorization, aiming theoretically to improve the world for mutants through the system. This concept was both thought-provoking and political, but it was usually presented comically or satirically. If Marvel intends to recapture that same spirit in their “From the Ashes” revival of X-Factor, they’ve found an ideal writer for that comedic, satirical approach in Mark Russell, along with artist Bob Quinn who impressed during the X-Men’s Krakoa period. Given all these factors, this 1990s throwback is a revival I can wholeheartedly support. — Jamie Lovett
