The Lone Ranger is back in action this week, as the Lone Ranger and Tonto hunt for a bloody killer. The Brainiac storyline concludes this week in “Action Comics” 870, leading into the “New Krypton” story. The award-winning novel “Ender’s Game” is adapted to comic-book form. A third, in-continuity “Marvel Zombies” series hits, this time drawn by Fred Van Lente. And finally, IDW’s “Presidential Material” one-shots, profiling Barack Obama and John McCain, ship this week.
Full list and commentary after the break.

Comparing Wolfman to Geoff Johns? I know Marv did a lot of stuff back in the day, and I probably read a big portion of his work, but the only thing that comes to mind is his Titans work. I always considered him and Chris Claremont to be the equivalent at each others company.
