Our Top Picks
Kicking things off in our list for our comic picks for May 17, 2023, we have the first issue of Titans from Tom Taylor and Nicola Scott at DC Comics. After the end of Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths, Nightwing was asked to new team the world serve as the replacement to the Justice League. He quickly went with those he trusted the most – the Titans. As the Dawn of DC kicks off, the face a horrifying event – the death of one of their own. This definitely sounds like something Tom Taylor would do.
Next up, Kyle Higgins and the Massive Universe give us the next installment in the No/One series with No/One #3 at Image Comics. With another infamous death, a new case comes forth for Julia to look into. This series won’t be in the upcoming Supermassive crossover. However, it has been a wonderful addition to the Massive Universe. If you are not listening to the monthly podcast, “Who is No/One,” you are truly missing out.
Then we have The Flash #799 from Jeremy Adams and Tom Derenick at DC Comics. After the events of issue #798, which saw the West’s newborn son kidnapped by Granny Goodness, Wally and a ragtag team of heroes go on the mission to bring baby Wade home. What does one of Darkseid’s most trusted military leaders have in store for the Flash and friends? We have one more story in Jeremy Adams’ superbly written run on the title.
And Finally (for Theo)…
Finally, we have Star Trek #8 from Collin Kelly, Jackson Lanzing, and Mike Feehan at IDW. In its Free Comic Book Day Preview, we received a preview of the upcoming Star Trek/Star Trek: Defiant crossover, Day of Blood. This issue kicks of the first prelude to the event. The Cardassians have arrested Benjamin Sisko for crimes against their people during the Dominion War. Can the crew of the USS Theseus free their captain?
