By writers Scott Snyder & Steve Orlando & artist Riley Rossmo | DC/Dynamite
This new crossover series doesn't mark the first time Bruce Wayne and Lamont Cranston have crossed paths, but it's still a team-up that happens all too rarely. Luckily, it looks as though DC and Dynamite intend on making up for lost time with Batman/The Shadow. The book features a truly excellent creative team with co-writers Scott Snyder and Steve Orlando and artist Riley Rossmo. And rather than simply follow the predictable team-up structure, the series will take full advantage of the fact that Batman and the Shadow are separated by a century of time, with the Caped Crusader investigating a murder apparently committed by the long-dead Cranston.

Normally, these two series are supposed to alternate weeks, but you may have heard that Marvel has been having some behind-the-scenes difficulties on X-Men Gold. Regardless, that just means X-fans get a double dose of mutant goodness this week. And both issues look to be key in establishing the new ResurrXion status quo. In Blue #2, we'll learn more about the relationship between the Original Five X-Men and their newest mentor, Magneto. What role does the Master of Magnetism have to play now that he's severed ties with the main team and even staged his own death.
As for X-Men Gold #2, readers will get their first real glimpse of the new Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, including who's joined the ranks and why this team insist on labeling themselves as "evil" in the first place.

The comic book industry is always better off with more Jonathan Hickman comics, so we're excited to see Hickman and Tomm Coker's thoroughly excellent Black Monday Murders returning to the stands. Nowhere else will you see two creators weaving together magic, Lovecraftian horror, financial intrigue and detective noir into one kooky but engrossing whole.
By writers Ulises Farinas & Erick Freitas & artist Dan McDaid | IDW
It might seem sacrilegious for an American publisher to take the reins of the Judge Dredd franchise, but IDW has done right by the character so far. And that doesn't look to change as writers Ulises Farinas and Erick Freitas begin the next phase of their Dredd saga. The Blessed Earth picks up ten years after the events of Judge Dredd: Mega-City Zero, with an older, meaner Dredd keeping up his fight ting law and order to a post-apocalyptic wasteland. The writers are promising a very hard-hitting and emotional new story, so maybe keep the tissues nearby for this one.
By writers Nick Spencer & Rick Remender & various artists | Marvel
If you're looking to dive into Secret Empire but haven't been following the Captain America books lately, this trade paperback might be right up your alley. As the name suggests, Secret Empire Prelude gathers a number of key issues that directly set the stage for Marvel's upcoming summer event crossover. Here you'll learn Steve Rogers handed the Cap mantle over to Sam Wilson, how he was restored during the Avengers Standoff crossover and witness firsthand the shocking twist that set Secret Empire in motion in Captain America: Steve Rogers #1. This trade isn't quite a substitute for reading all of Nick Spencer's Captain America work, but it should cover all the basics nicely.
