Weekly Comics Discussion

This
week,
expect new issues of Ultimate
Spider-Man
and Ultimate X-Men, as well
as the first issue of Iron Fist,
Avengers / Thunderbolts, and She
Hulk
. Also, for people who haven’t picked up
Supreme Power yet, the first six issues are
collected in a trade paperback that ships today.
Budget accordingly; it sucks in people who don’t
generally read comics at all, as well as the regular
fans.

Harry Potter 8?

In an online interview, J.K. Rowling

allegedly kinda sorta hinted
that maybe there might be an eighth Harry Potter book, after maintaining for years that she would stop at seven.


How much weight should be placed on incredibly vague quotes like this one, that are probably being taken out of context anyway? And how many more years do we have to wait before we see the sixth and seventh books? (I’d start a betting pool, but there’s a good chance many of us will die of old age before there’s a winner.)
