Let's get cosmic with the original. Jim Starlin continues his busy chronicling of the life of Adam Warlock with THE INFINITY ENTITY, a new limited series written by Starlin and drawn by Alan Davis. Can you saw classic comics team-up?

Oh and speaking of Annie Wu, she's the artist on issue #4 of the all-nu Archie comics, (Veronica Fish takes over on issues #5-6) and in issue #4 of the Mark Waid reboot we finally learn about #LipstickIncident, the secret that has been haunting the halls of Riverdale High and crimping Archie's dating style.

MAD Magazine is often overlooked as one of the longest running and most successful properties that DC Entertainment publishes. Of course, the early Harvey Kurtzman edited run, and seminal work by Will Elder, John Severin, Wally Wood, Al Jaffee and Sergio Aragones is justly lauded among comics history buffs, but with issue #535 coming out next week it's also the longest continually running comics periodical in the US. If it was just puttering along with jokes about these kids today and boring TV shows, perhaps it would be allowed to stay in its pasture, but in truth it's still putting out sharp satire with bold visuals and presenting the work of some of today's finest cartoonists—including Al Jaffee and Sergio Aragones.

We just told you about the huge deal between French comics publisher Delcourt and Comixology to being a line of French comics to English via digital. Now here's one example of why it's big, an exclusive preview of the English language version of Pénélope Bagieu's Josephine. Bagieu is hugely popular in France for her down to earth comics about contemporary life. Her Exquisite Corpse was just published earlier this year by First Second; Josephine is her long running comic about a young woman with the usual complicated and annoying life—at least one of the strips below describes just about every day of my life, but I'll let you guess which.

It's almost quitting time here in EDT so let's leave the week with something FUN for a change. Why just do a comic book based on a classically of it time TV show when you can reinvent it as an acid trip that bends time and space? And hooray for licensors who let you get away with it. Miami Vice: Remix by Joe Casey and Jim Mahfood is anything but a dull TV show comic...it's an audacious tale on tropes and icons, and a gem in the Lion Forge line-up.

Dark Horse's July comics previews are out and here they are with Mignola, Kindt, the return of Barb Wire, The New Deal, a new graphic novel by Jonathan Case, the collected Astro Boy, the final book of Oh My Goddess and MORE.
