Weekly Comics Discussion – October 19, 2011

The complete list of titles is available here. There are new printings of all DC issues to go along with the issues released this week. The first draft of this article was written based on the preliminary shipping list, with the assumption that “Darkwing Duck #17” will ship on this date without confirmation. If you’re reading these comments, then I haven’t had Internet access to confirm these, so be extra sure to check the exact shipping list before going shopping.

  • DC UNIVERSE PRESENTS
  • FABLES #110

Marvel Comics

  • AVENGERS
  • AVENGERS 1959 (OF 5)
  • FANTASTIC FOUR BY WAID & WIERINGO ULT COLL TP BOOK 03 – This is my favorite complete run on the title, though Hickman’s may supplant it when he’s done. I love what Hickman’s written, but he’s clearly building to something, so I’m reserving final judgment until we know what that is.

  • FEAR ITSELF FEARLESS (OF 12)
  • FEAR ITSELF HOME FRONT #7 (OF 7)
  • FEAR ITSELF YOUTH IN REVOLT (OF 6)
  • HULK #43
  • INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #509 – Fear Itself, and probably the best title with that brand right now.
  • JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY #629 – Fear Itself
  • SHIELD TP ARCHITECTS OF FOREVER – More Hickman. It’s all good.
  • ULTIMATE COMICS HAWKEYE #3 (OF 4) – Yet more Hickman.
