Part of Archie Comics celebrating its 85th anniversary, Archie Comics 85th Anniversary Presents – Betty and Veronica Pin-Up Special #1 collects Betty and Veronica one-page pin-ups from over the years from artist Dan DeCarlo (with a few other artists sprinkled in here and there as well). Many of the shots feature one or or both the of the girls on the beach, but the special also collects both Betty and Veronica, along with others such as Josie and the Pussycats, and even Archie and Jughead in various activities including playing a round of golf, performing on stage, and fishing, lounging at home, or just walking around town.

Shadow of Maul #1

Set prior to the events of the upcoming Disney+ series Star Wars: Shadow of Maul, the first issue of the five-issue mini-series is a Maul comic in name only (as the character only appears on the final page). The man protagonist of Shadow of Maul #1 is bounty hunter turned police officer Captain Brander Lawson struggling to bring justice to the corrupt planet of Janix (with the help of a robot sidekick).

Nights #18

Opening with closure to the events on the island with Agent Tsukumari vowing to keep their continued existence secret, a promise he keeps, Nights #18 works as a bridge between the Chimera arc of the past and the “present” of 2004 by highlighting various moments of Tsukumari’s life including his partnership with Gray (whose secret he continues to protect), his rise up the ranks of Chimera, and his first (and later last) meeting with Ivory.

Green Lantern #32

Heading into the next issue’s main event, which has already been reported to hand over the title from Hal Jordan to Kyle Rayner, meaning I’ll be giving this comic a wide birth for likely quite a long time, Green Lantern #32 offers a look at what might have been with Hal and Carol spending a night together in Paris with his plans to propose interrupted by a robbery by Cupid and separate quests for both characters pushing them, again, in different directions.

Muppets Noir #1

An overworked Kermit, a dime-store novel, the mention of pie, and a backstage accident at the Muppet Theater lead to an unconscious Kermit reimagining himself in a noir world as gumshoe Flip Minnow hired by Delores Crustworth: Queen of Pies (food which our amphibian detective has an aversion) to find her missing neice Meringue (Miss Piggy). While on the case we’re introduced to several Muppet mainstays as part of Kermit’s delusion including Fozzie as Officer O’Bear, Rowlf as a piano player in a restaurant that tolerates no noise, and Gonzo as a nightclub act.
