Future Tense - Each cover is a homage to a famous work of science fiction, and each of those original works ties into themes of this series.

No importa si estamos en el 2015 o en 1988, Alan Moore sigue siendo el mejor escritor. Miracleman sigue mejorando con cada número, y Crossed Plus One Hundred # 2 fue el mejor cómic del mes. Como regla general nunca compro cómics de Star Wars, pero como regla general siempre compro todo lo que hace John Cassaday, así que leí el título más vendido de enero (más de 800,000 ejemplares, rompiendo así todos los records de venta de las últimas 2 décadas), y fue muy entretenido. Jupiter’s Legacy, The Autumnlands: Tooth & Claw, y The Wicked + The Divine estuvieron bastante bien. Y ahora, sin más preámbulos, aquí están los cómics de enero:
