Under a cover by Neal Adams, Limited Collectors’ Edition #25 was originally published by DC Comics, cover-dated December 1974. It featured a selection of early and then-modern tales that showcased the story and stylistic development of the Dark Knight Detective over his first three decades, and those offerings stand up well in this new facsimile edition.

A brutal serial killer named Omen is terrorizing New York City, taking the eyeballs of his victims. He has been targeting Matt Murdock, besting the Man without Fear because he claims to see the future. When Daredevil tried to set a trap for Omen, the hero was almost killed – until the Owl arrived, shooting Omen and saving Daredevil for a reason he did not reveal. Detective Forte and Officer Callahan were on the killer’s trail when Omen ambushed them and stole Callahan’s eyes, leaving a traumatized Forte behind.

Cullen Bunn introduces James Crowley, a gunslinger who has already died and now finds himself working for the White Throne. His job is pretty straightforward: hunt down demons that have made their way into the mortal world. His latest assignment sends him to Dead Acre, a remote Western town where things are clearly not what they seem.

The second issue picks up 14 months later with Kylie rich and famous, while Melvin has been given a stupid nickname and has stopped killing. Kylie is really enjoying her new fame, but isn’t doing much to grow Melvin’s notoriety, which has made Melvine quite angry. And making a serial killer angry is not a smart thing to do.

Ronnie and Stein separated, leaving Ronnie with the Firestorm matrix, which has become sentient and has suppressed Ronnie’s consciousness. The Firestorm matrix has gone on a terrifying rampage, transforming and murdering people with no care for humanity. And he has big plans for this world and all the others. Lorraine tracked down Stein and he has created a device that can separate Ronnie from the Firestorm matrix, but it is a very dangerous mission.

Neighborhood Watch #4 starts with Aurora learning that her mother was shot and is at Open Arms. As she deals with that, Val and Bianca talk about the police raid and how badly Jill/Cassie responded the first time it happened at Open Arms. Then while Val does some exploring in her community, Bianca is cornered by Jill/Cassie’s police officer husband.

The series tells the story of Ogami Ittō, the Shogun’s executioner, whose wife was killed after giving birth to his son, Daigorō. Framed for disloyalty to the Shogun, he is ordered to take his own life as well as Daigorō’s. He refuses and begins a one-man, one-baby war against those who betrayed him.

On her latest mission, the Doctor has been sent to Skaro, the homeworld of the Daleks, to return a piece of technology. What she finds is a landscape unlike what she had expected and the last of the surviving Kaled people. The peril escalates quickly and the Doctor must try to save the Kaleds from the imminent, relentless attacks of the Daleks… and find the true home of the device she brought with her.

Issue 4 by Christian Ward brings together the supernatural entity and highly advanced technology. Daniel is so arrogant that he doesn’t seem to consider what could happen when Annabelle connects with the ship, and it makes for a suspenseful issue. Ward reveals details about Annabelle and explores the idea of emotion in an artificial being.

Beginning with Captain Britain #1, cover dated October 13, 1976, Marvel Comics did something it had never...

Space Ghost Annual #1 is less about delivering wall-to-wall action and more about giving Dax a chance to reflect after everything he’s been through. While a new threat involving Magnus and a mysterious alien keeps the story moving, the real focus is on Space Ghost, Jan, and Jace. One of the best things about this series has always been its emphasis on found family, and this issue reminds readers that those relationships are what hold the team together.

The history of the United States is in peril. Morgan Le Fay has traveled to the Revolutionary War in 1777 with an offer to help the British win the war. In 1778, Cagliostro has enlisted Benjamin Franklin to help him convince the Avengers of the future to travel back in time to save America. Doctor Strange has gathered some of the big guns – Captain America, Spider-Man, Iron Man, and the Hulk – to return to the birth of the nation and prevent history from changing drastically.
