  • 52 WEEK #4
  • CRISIS AFTERMATH THE SPECTRE #1 (OF 3)
  • ION #2 (OF 12)
  • JLA VOL 19 WORLD WITHOUT A JUSTICE LEAGUE TP
  • SHOWCASE PRESENTS HAUNTED TANK VOL 1 TP
  • SUPERMAN BATMAN #26 – Track this one down. There
    are a huge
    number of major writers and artists involved in this
    Sam Loeb tribute,
    including some who have signed exclusive contracts
    with other
    publishers who were allowed to contribute because it’s
    for Sam. Don’t
    expect to see it in TPB form; issue 7 was never
    collected, and this
    one sounds similar. The fourth trade covers up to
    issue 25 only, and
    issue 27 launches a new creative team.
