Its been a while since I’ve done one of these.  Occasionally, I’ll have one of those nerd freak-out moments on how many potentially awesome books are coming out that week.  So, this is one of those times where I’ll share.

1. The Flash: Rebirth: So, this is when they bring back everyone, and erase the last death that literally meant anything in comics.  That’s fine though, considering this is being done by the fine team that brought back Hal Jordan in Geoff Johns and Ethan van Sciver.  It may be fan-service (God, you should have heard the 40-Year Old Virgins flip out over when Bart took over as the Flash, and wanted Barry back), but with a team like these two I think I can say that this will be delivered in a classy and beautiful way.
2. Seaguy: Slaves of Mickey Eye: Hell yeah.  Now if you want some mind-bending commentary on superheroes this is where you go.  I recently finished the first volume and thought it was humorous, thoughtful and beautifully drawn by The Other Side’s Cameron Stewart.  Have a couple of his designs he posted on his facebook.
3. Irredeemable #1: From Mark Waid and Peter Krause, this book is about a Superman-like character who eventually snaps and decides to just take over the planet.  Have an essay from Waid on the development of the book. This ought to be a real treat.

As the week goes you ought to look to what other people recommend. I personally like pretty much anything Graeme recommends, and Kevin too.
