Both Marvel and DC are reprinting a number of their classic comics, such as the first issue of a notable comic or the first apearance of a character, though why Marvel decided the first appearance of the Puma, a second tier Spider Man foe, deserves a reprint is beyond me. Currnetly, both companies are reprinting their first maxi-series: DC's Crisis on Infinite Earths and Marvel its Secret Wars. One thing I have noticed is that Marvel reprints their books on the slick coated paper used by today's books while DC is using the news print on which comics were commonly printed during that era.

Knight Terrors
DC is suspending publication of most of its regular line of books for the Knight Terrors series this summer of 2 issue mini series. We still have a copy of the Free Comic Book Day preview of the series if you want to take a look at it before deciding which books in the series you want to order.

Joker War
For you comic fans, here is some info from the Joker War storyline:
It was always going to come to this. The Clown Prince of Crime and the Dark Knight Detective go head-to-head for the last time. The Joker has never wanted to win before, he's never wanted his battle with Batman to end, but now his motivation has shifted. He has decided that one way or another, this will be the final chapter to their story. "Joker War" begins here!
Batman #95 by James Tynion IV and Jorge Jimenez features a cardstock variant cover by Francesco Mattina as well as a 1:25 cardstock variant by Jorge Jimenez in addition to the regular cover.
And don't miss out on Batgirl #47 on FOC this week as well! The Joker is here to have a nice chat with Barbara Gordon! This issue features a variant cover by Terry and Rachel Dodson!

The Terrifics and Dark Nights Rising: The Wild Hunt
For you comic fans, we received the following press releases from DC:
THE TERRIFICS #1 features art by Ivan Reis and Joe Prado with a story by Jeff Lemire and a cover by Reis!
Bound together by fate, united by the spirit of exploration and hope for tomorrow, the Terrifics bound from the Dark Multiverse of METAL! When Mr. Terrific, Metamorpho, Plastic Man and Phantom Girl find themselves literally bound together by a tragic accident, our team of unlikely allies must rely on one another to make their way back home. But a startling revelation on their return trip brings them face to face with a new mystery: where in the universe is Tom Strong?
Like all debut issues in the New Age of DC Heroes line, THE TERRIFICS #1 features an unprecedented vertical foldout cover. Plus, the back of the foldout cover features a sliver of an illustration of all the new heroes who are joining the DC Universe. Customers who purchase all the #1 issues will be able to assemble the full-size artwork from the foldouts. On sale February 28.
Dark Nights Rising: The Wild Hunt
The special issue that continues from the pages of the bestselling DARK NIGHTS: METAL has added Grant Morrison to its creative team!
This issue is now written by Scott Snyder, Grant Morrison, James Tynion IV and Joshua Williamson, with art by Howard Porter, Doug Mahnke and Jorge Jimenez and a foil-stamped cover by Mahnke.
The Dark Knights ride through the farthest reaches of the Multiverse to track down the unlikeliest of teams: The Flash, Cyborg, Raven and Detective Chimp. The mission: keep these heroes from completing their desperate quest to save all of existence! Plus, Challengers' Mountain crackles with dark energy that will release an army of the world's worst nightmares into the streets of Gotham City!
This one-shot also answers the question: Where are the Metal Men? And who is the latest addition to the team? On Sale Feb. 14.
