My picks for the week:

• Batman #20: Batman fights the villain who has been causing trouble in the guise of Bruce Wayne, but can he stop this classic rogue before his own identity is revealed and is Bruce fighting himself in more ways than one? (Props to Scott Snyder for multiple well executed pop culture references and for the issue’s emotional trajectory!)

• Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9 #21: Willow doesn’t have the strength to save Dawn on her own, but when Xander tells Buffy about his encounter with Severin and Simone the Scoobies think they may have a new plan. (This feels just like the episodes that wrap up the best seasons of Buffy!)

• Princeless Get Over Yourself #1: King Ashe gathers a group of “heroes” to go after the knight he thinks captured Adrienne, Devin appeals to his mother, and Adrienne, Bedelia, and Sparky continue their search for Angelica’s tower. (So funny!)
