From Dark Horse:

BUFFY SEASON 11: GILES #1
From Joss Whedon and Erika Alexander comes a series that returns Buffy’s Rupert Giles to high school! But this time–as a grown man living in a teenage body–Giles will be a student instead of a teacher. At an inner-city LA-area school, when a mystical influence is detected and teachers start to go missing, Giles enrolls to investigate. What he finds is more than vampires and demons; something unusual and frightening is happening here. If Giles can get through one day as a student, he’ll have a chance to find out who, what, and where–but high school is still hell, y’all.

CROSSWIND, VOL. 1 TP
Goodfellas meets Freaky Friday in this mind-bending new ongoing series from fan-favorite creators GAIL SIMONE (Wonder Woman, Batgirl, Deadpool, Secret Six, Birds of Prey) and CAT STAGGS (Adventures of Supergirl, Smallville Season 11, Wonder Woman ’77). A slick and ruthless Chicago hitman. A smart but downtrodden Seattle housewife. When an inexplicable event strikes these two random strangers, their bodies, souls, and lives are switched—to potentially deadly effect. Collects CROSSWIND #1-6

Our Featured Image this week is the cover for THE TERRIFICS #1. It’s a cool cover by Ivan Reis – and in physical form it’s even cooler, as it’s a gatefold that when expanded reveal even more above and below, with another big image on the inside. It’s, er, terrific!

I also liked the GILES cover, and, of course, the BOOTY BETTIE PAGE cover, so I included them. The other covers are all fine, too, but not fine enough to get me to fiddle with the layout of the post in order to include them. But do check them all out.

That does it for this week’s Showcase Saturday. Be sure to come back tomorrow to see what the Spotlight shines on!
