The shipping
lists are out, and my picks are below in a more
readable format than previous weeks. The newest
volume of Previews also ships this week, so
expect my monthly picks to follow this weekend.
DC Comics
- I Can’t Believe It’s Not The Justice
League: a followup
series to Formerly Known As The Justice
League collected in
TPB form. - Y The Last Man Vol. 6: Girl On Girl:
Another TPB
collection from a well reviewed series I haven’t
checked out yet.
Marvel Comics
- Amazing Spider-Man #526: “The Other”
marches on, with a
wide variety of variant covers, many of which feature
Ben Reilly or
the Scarlet Spider. - Daredevil #79: The last story arc by
Bendis and Maleev
continues to develop. I’ll get this in TPB form in a
few months. - She-Hulk 2 #2: Dan Slott’s very well
received series
isn’t selling in fantastic numbers, but the word of
mouth is almost
universally positive. It sounds like it’s a good,
old-fashioned fun
comic book. - Ultimate X-Men #65: This conclusion to
“Magnetic North”
(collected in TPB in February) is in a flip-book
format, including the
second part of the Ultimate Vision miniseries
that began with
last week’s Ultimate Spider-Man #86. There
are currently no
plans to collect Ultimate Vision in TPB form,
so it may be
worth picking up. (I was planning on switching back
to the issues
with UXM #66, which starts a new storyline, but then I
realized that
this story would be the only Ultimate story I don’t
have, so I’m
picking it up an issue early.) - Uncanny X-Men #466 is the other issue
I’ll be picking up
today. - X-Factor Visionaries: Peter David Vol. 1:
Had I been
collecting according to creative teams back in junior
high, I’d have
picked this up. Instead, I collected by character, so
I dropped this
title the issue before Peter David took over,
transforming the team
from a reunion of the original X-Men into a collection
of misfits
played for comedy.
