Weekly Comics Discussion

Pulse #4 and Ultimate X-Men #49 are
the two titles I plan to pick up this
week
. In related news, the October solicitations
are coming in, and the order form goes online later
today. So far, I know I’ll be picking up
Superman Archives Vol. 1 from DC when it
ships December 15. (It’s one of their advance
solicits on a $19.95 archive.) I also plan to pick
up Essential Tomb of Dracula Vol. 3,
finishing that series, as well as Essential
Monster of Frankenstein Vol. 1
, both presumably
timed to coincide with Hallowe’en. An incomplete
list of Marvel’s other Essential, Masterworks, and
Marvel Age volumes can be found below.

The following list was e-mailed out late last
week:
