Who Will Make the Pancakes: Five Stories
Megan Kelso
Catching up on my reading and finally had a chance to sit down with Megan Kelso's story collection Who Will Make the Pancakes. Such an incredible range of stories and emotions and art styles here, and kicking myself for not reading it sooner. https://t.co/Waswd0DH0f

Star Wars: The Mandalorian - Season One, Part One
Rodney Barnes
@DerfBackderf @AaronMeyers The book that saved Marvel. Managed to be one of the only official Star Wars products available when the movie hit, and they cleaned up. One of the first Marvel Comics to go into multiple printings, too.

Popeye: Let's You and Him Fight!
E. C. Segar
@peterhartlaub First saw it as an already Popeye-fanatic kindergartner and while it's not for everybody, I've got an even greater admiration for it now that I've seen more of Altman's films, know more about Robin Williams, and have read all of EC Segar's Popeye comics.

Star Wars: The High Republic - Trail of Shadows
Daniel Jose Older
@DerfBackderf @AaronMeyers The book that saved Marvel. Managed to be one of the only official Star Wars products available when the movie hit, and they cleaned up. One of the first Marvel Comics to go into multiple printings, too.

Superman: Birthright the Deluxe Edition
Mark Waid
@bully_thelsb I trust Mark Waid, who knows Superman better than almost anybody. The recent Superman: Space Age comic was Black Label, and that was more to make it clear that it was out of continuity and to take advantage of the larger format than to have any particular adult content.

Sherlock Holmes: Year One
Scott Beatty
@Scott_M_Beatty I've still got the single issues, but a trade paperback next to my Batgirl and Robin Year One collections would be swell.

Batman: The Definitive History of the Dark Knight in Comics, Film, and Beyond
Andrew Farago
@MoeJack07 @JamesGunn @DCComics The first edition sold well, so our editor invited me and Gina McIntyre to provide a 2019-2022 update covering the new comic books and The Batman movie. Lots of nice art, photos, and interviews!

Peanuts: A Charlie Brown Christmas Wooden Collectible Set
Charles M. Schulz
@DerfBackderf @RubenBolling I sure gravitated to the darker ones when I was a kid. And I can't begrudge Charles Schulz some happiness in his life and his strip, either. We've got decades' worth of melancholy Peanuts strips to enjoy regardless.

Flashpoint
Geoff Johns
Biggest omission in #TheFlash Special Thanks has to be Mark Waid along with artists Mike Wieringo, Carlos Pacheco, and Salvador Larroca. There's no Speed Force without them, and so much of this movie (and Geoff Johns/Andy Kubert's Flashpoint) builds on that concept. https://t.co/72oFqqADge

Marvel-Verse: Thanos
Jim Starlin
@Comrade_Bullski @JasonRLady @GAMcKnight @XMen90sCovers @Danlikecomics The later series all seemed to have those "side quest" stories with footnotes like "if you want to see where Thanos went, don't miss Marvel Comics Presents and the 'Thanos Buys a Helicopter' mini-series on sale next week!"
