Better bring a friend to your local comic book shop this week because this pull list is going to weigh you down while lightening your wallet’s load. With a collection from the late Carmine Infantino (RIP), the Dark Knight grabbing his gun, and a vicious vigilante from Dark Horse, there’s a little something for everyone. It’s Comic Book Day, guys, so let’s get into it!

Top Picks

Batman #19 | Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo

If you peruse DC Comics’ page for this issue, the tagline is simply, “Who would cause Bruce Wayne to use a gun?” Who indeed? Guns are so antithetical to everything the brooding billionaire stands for that we can’t imagine who could elicit such an uncharacteristic response. While the fallout from Damian’s death still settles, Snyder and Capullo are taking this opportunity to tell some real heartfelt stories while they gear up for Year Zero, the series’ next major story arc, which will tackle the daunting task of Batman’s origins in a fresh, exciting way. This issue, like the rest of Snyder’s run, is right on the money and a welcome addition to anyone’s pull list.

The Flash Chronicles, Vol. 4 | John Broome, Carmine Infantino and Joe Giella

While we try to diversify the pull list a bit in terms of publishers, we felt it fitting that another edition of The Flash Chronicles should drop this week, as we bid farewell to the late, great Carmine Infantino, who passed away late last week. The legendary artist not only designed the now iconic red-and-yellow Flash costume, but he was a driving force in the Silver Age of comics as we know it. He will be sorely missed, but what better way to remember him than in these classic Flash stories? True fans of the Scarlet Speedster should leap on this opportunity to school themselves on how he got his running start in the 1960s.

X #0 | Duane Swierczynski and Eric Nguyen

Nothing like a little bit of the ol’ ultraviolence to get the blood flowing (both on and off the page), huh? Straight out of the pages of Dark Horse Presents, Duane Swierczynski and Eric Nguyen take on Arcadia’s grisliest gangbuster, X. Cutting a bloody swath through the city’s organized crime syndicates, X should satisfy fans of crimefighters who aren’t afraid to pull their punches. Eric Nguyen’s sharp visuals both bring the action to life and create an appropriately bleak mood, and considering Swierczynski’s track record on Punisher, we think these guys are definitely the men for X‘s bloody, bloody job.
