DC Comics
Batman: Battle For the Cowl #1 - Batman's various protegees struggle to keep Gotham under control in his absence in this new book.
Green Lantern Chronicles (Volume 1) TP - Some great material's collected here in the first volume of a new "Chronicle" series.
Oracle #1 - Despite the end of Birds of Prey, Oracle's still around delivering justice in her own way. This new series ties in to Battle For the Cowl.
Showcase Presents: The Doom Patrol (Volume 1) TP - This is supposed to be a really great series, and here's a nice affordable black-and-white edition.

Hyperion Books

Image Comics
Savage Dragon #148 - Boasting a great jumping-on point for new readers, Dragon gets the honor of being the free comic at Free Comic Book Day this year from Image.
Marvel Comics
Dark Reign: Elektra #1 (of 5) - I've always liked Elektra, and since she was what kicked off the whole Secret Invasion, it'll be interesting to see where her and her bruised ego are left when the dust settles.
New Avengers: The Reunion #1 (of 4) - This was just previewed in Dark Reign: New Nation, and it looks like a decent mini-series, focusing on Hawkeye and Mockingbird's relationship following their deaths and subsequent resurrections.
War of Kings #1 (of 6) - Who will rule at the end of this intergalactic battle? Vulcan? Blackbolt? As long as this mini's cool, I'm indifferent when it comes to the outcome.
X-Men: Misfits (Volume 1) - One of two new Marvel faux-manga, featuring a Totoro-like Beast. Sigh.
Oni Press
Courtney Crumrin (Volume 4): Courtney Crumrin's Monstrous Vacation TP - The one-shots The Fire Thief's Tale and The Prince of Nowhere are being collected as the fourth volume of Ted Naifeh's Courtney Crumrin to fit in with the other collections.
