Check out our picks, then take to the comments to let us know what looks good to you!
By writer Scott Snyder & artist Greg Capullo | DC Comics
Get out your tissue boxes, people, because this is the final issue of Batman from Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo. The two have forged an incredible Batman saga unique from everything else on the shelf, plus in real life they’ve become comics’ prime example of what brotherly love looks like. Issue #51 is their swan song, and then issue #52 will be written by James Tynion IV with art by Rafael Albuquerque to (assumedly) set up what will come when DC Rebirth hits and Batman starts over at issue #1 with a brand new creative team.

Marvel Comics: Who Is Mosiac?
Marvel Comics began a new series of teaser images today built around a puzzle piece theme. Each of these teasers (drawn by artist Stuart Immonen) will reveal a new piece of the puzzle and shed light on a major upcoming storyline.
Check out the first teaser below, which asks the question "Who is Mosaic?".
It's hard to tell from this image which characters or series might be involved in this teaser. Immonen's abstract, painterly style here reminds us a bit of David Mack's covers for Alias. Could this be promoting the new Jessica Jones comic that writer Brian Michael Bendis teased at Emerald City Comic Con? Or maybe another new series spinning out of the events of Civil War II?
