As the year draws near, there will be plenty of "Best of" lists (we may do one again) and as far as I'm concerned you can bet to see some of this week's titles to be on many of them. FAITH, GIANT DAYS, BATMAN, THE LEGEND OF WONDER WOMAN should find their way to the "Best of 2016." New titles like the thrilling MOTOR CRUSH from the former BATGIRL creative team certainly has the potential to be among those great titles. Check out other new titles this week - DOCTOR APHRA, REGGIE AND ME, SLAPSTICK, THE CIRCLE, and one of the greatest team-ups in comics WONDER WOMAN MEETS THE BIONIC WOMAN. Happy reading!
