Picks of the Week: 1/9

Here we go, picking the most promising titles shipping to comic shops this Wednesday (back to normal, finally)!

Patrick’s Pick:

JLA Classified #50 - It seems like an incredibly light week for interesting new releases, but I’ve been on a bit of a John Byrne kick lately, so I’m going with this comic, the first of the artist’s five part collaboration with writer Roger Stern, as my pick this week. The cover (pictured) is by Joshua Middleton.

Dave’s Pick:

Black Hole Collected SC - Charles Burns’ masterpiece finally gets the softcover treatment - if you haven’t picked this up for whatever reason, this is the excuse you’ve been waiting for!
