In Prodigy, the world's smartest man isn't content with running the world's most successful business. His brilliant mind needs constant challenge and so he's become the go-to guy for governments around the world when a problem arises they just can't handle. A Nobel-Prize winning scientist, a genius composer, an Olympic-level athlete and an expert in the occult, Edison Crane is as addicted to the mysteries of the world as he is to sitting at the top of the Fortune 500.

Don’t call it a Cable sixth-scale replica, because the Toys Era “The Mechanical” which just so happens to resemble Josh Brolin's Cable character from Deadpool 2 would very much like to avoid tangling with an enemy that’s far more destructive than a Thanos who wields the full might of the Infinity Gauntlet: Disney’s legal team.

Jason Todd’s about to take this vigilante game to a whole new level. His partners, Bizarro and Artemis? Gone! His mentor, Batman? Out! His base of operations, Gotham City? Abandoned.

The Batman Who Laughs is a dark knight without limits, and arguably the most popular member of the vigilantes who terrorised the DC Comics Universe in the Metal event. How popular? Popular enough to get a statue from Prime 1, which will set you back $1199 for the regular version and $1399 for a deluxe version which throws in an extra Damien Wayne Robin.

What If? has mostly been a brand with sporadic appearances, confined to limited one-shots and mini-series since the 2000s. That’s not changing, but hell, at least we’re getting six new What If? one-shots later this year that stars everyone from Thor to Ghost Rider. Here’s a breakdown of the issues that are headed to shelves soon.

With a more adult-focused imprint to tell grittier stories in and with Geoff Johns back as a writer, Batman’s greatest nemesis (or trio of them), are getting unwrapped and revealed at long last. Don’t expect the answer to be based on time travel or magic, as The Three Jokers is very much based on the idea that three men have been tormenting the caped crusader for years, evolving to become more dangerous according to the needs of the era that they operated in.
