Wow, a week I’m excited about! Although some of it is bittersweet…
Superheroes
I was very pleasantly surprised by The Twelve #1, reading it multiple times with enjoyment. So I’m curious to see if I like the second issue as much.
I’m excited to see Alan Davis bringing back his superhero family in Clandestine #1.
That both of these are miniseries helps, since it gives me hope that they will have rewarding endings.
On the DC side, there’s Diana Prince: Wonder Woman, a collection of 60s-era Mike Sekowsky stories from Wonder Woman #178-184 and Superman’s Girl Friend Lois Lane #93. They’re not great reads, but they have a certain energy.
Manga
I didn’t realize that Flock of Angels was a short series. Book two of three is out this week.
T Campbell and Amy Mebberson’s comedy of pop stardom, Divalicious, ends this week with book two.
My beloved Tramps Like Us ends with book 14, and I’m simultaneously looking forward to it and dreading it. Because I like it so much, I don’t want it to end.
Other
Exhibit A Press has a new issue of Mavis, number 5. You can read the description here.

Yay Alan Davis! My main experience as a Big-Two comics fan was reading Excalibur when I was in middle school, and his art and storytelling was a big reason why the series initially grabbed me. I never got around to reading Clandestine the first time it was out, but maybe I’ll have to make a trip to my local comics retailer now…
