A Comic Show – Gotham By Midnight's Superior Spectre!

Hey Fandom, it's the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and the Black Friday getting, but we still have some great releases.
DC's best book this week is Gotham By Midnight #1 headed up by Fawkes, Templesmith, and Jim Corrigan aka The Spectre. This moody, dark Bat-book is perfect for Ben Templesmith, and is recommended for anyone who digs DC dark titles. Deathstroke #2 is here, it's fast paces and full of surprise guest stars. I'm not a fan of the direction of this younger Slade, but I did enjoy this issue more than the first. If you liked #1, you'll love this one, but I'm still on the fence. It may become a guilt pleasure though, there's no way I could not read #3 after that last page. Oh, and Batman Eternal volume 1 is here collecting #1-21.
Spider-verse's Scarlet Spiders is a group of Peter clones vs. the Inheritor clones. It takes a clone to kill a clone. Scarlet Spidey fans won't be disappointed. Superior Iron Man #2 continues Tony's bender and Daredevil's one man intervention doesn't go well.
Image's big new #1 this week is ODY-C by Fraction and Ward, it's a high concept sci-fi fantasy that's essentially the Odyssey in space and gender swapped. Ward's art works for this trippy tale the same way it did with Infinite Vacation. Check out the 4 page gatefold. And, I couldn't help but promote IDW's Transformers Drift and TMNT/Ghostbusters.
