Scott’s pick: Mr. Terrific Year One #3: Propelled by a new sense of purpose and a clear target for his vengeance, Mr. Terrific dons his superhero costume (or the closest approximation he can scrape together from his workshop) for the very first time to lay siege to Athena Prescott’s tower at the center of Gateway City. But while he’s got his sights set on Prescott, she’s got her eyes on him. And the third-smartest man in the world might just find that you can’t bring T-Spheres to a gunfight and expect to walk out alive. Written by Al Letson and drawn by Valentine De Landro.

Mark’s pick: Usagi Yojimbo: Ten Thousand Plums #5: Usagi and Yukichi have grown closer to Tabo and his fellow Kirishitan pilgrims during their travels.

By Stan Sakai for Dark Horse. ($4.99) Buy it here.
Rasmus’ pick: Feral #15: Love is in the air at Pet City. Gigi has Lucky and Elsie has someone now, too. But just who exactly is her secret lover, and what does it mean for the rest of the cats?
