The Pull List (7/17/13): Digital Batman series goes to print

The time for new comic books has come again, and Marvel and DC Comics are both offering something new this week for the shelves. DC's digital comic smash, Batman '66, has finally arrived in print form, and Marvel's granted one of Spider-Man's famous foes from the 1990s yet another solo series.

Batman '66, written by Jeff Parker with Jonathan Case on art duties, has received wide acclaim for its use of the digital form. The series takes place within the 1960s Batman television series, and each "BAM" and "POW" pops on the screen as digital readers make their way through the panels. Tonally, it's exactly what fans of the TV show would want, with Case's art providing a gorgeous and accurate depiction straight off the screen.

Superior Carnage, from Marvel, attempts to bring Carnage back to his former glory. A Marvel press release promises "shivers" down your spine, but it's unlikely this crimson relic from the days of Boy Meets World will inspire anything but nostalgia. The comic is written by Kevin Shinick and drawn by Stephen Segovia.

The "Big Two" aren't the only publishers offering debut series. Check the list below for more from IDW and Dark Horse. This week's Title You Can't Miss is Marvel's Deadpool #13. It was a stroke of genius to give a comic that's supposed to be funny to comedian Brian Posehn and writer Gerry Duggan. The book hasn't been this great since the days of Joe Kelly's now-celebrated run.
