Weekly Comics Discussion – June 1, 2005

According to this week’s shipping
list
, we’ll finally get the last issue of
Strange, the miniseries from JMS and others
which nicely updates the good Doctor’s origins, even
though they didn’t really need updated in the first
place. There will also be a dearth of Batman
items, which was easy to predict given that the next
movie will be released in two weeks. Other notables
include Exiles #65, Ororo Before The
Storm #1
, Uncanny X-Men #460, and
House of M #1, which kicks off Marvel’s big
summer event for the year.
