Some of this
week’s notables are listed below.

DC Comics

• 100 Bullets #67 – a well reviewed title I haven’t
  been following.
• Superman: True Brit – the softcover version of the
  hardcover
  plotted by John Cleese. I reviewed
  it when the
  hardcover came out, and wasn’t particularly impressed.
  Perhaps I’m
  just not British enough.
• Villains United TPB – A collection that led into
  Infinite Crisis.

Marvel Comics

• Fantastic Four Visionaries: John Byrne Vol. 5 –
  I’ve read great
  things about Byrne’s run, but haven’t read it. I’ve
  got 44
  Years of the
  Fantastic Four on DVD-ROM, so I’ll be reading
  these eventually,
  but I’ve got to finish the Spider-Man set first.
  (Expect a review of
  each when I finish reading them, which may take
  months.)
• GLA Misassembled – Another series that sounds
  interesting but I
  can’t quite budget for.
• New Avengers Most Wanted Files – I believe this is
  a rundown of
  the villains who escaped in the first New
  Avengers story arc,
  prioritized according to which ones Marvel has plans
  to use.
• Punisher: Silent Night: A Punisher Christmas
  special.
• Secret War Book Five – Well it’s about bloody
  time. When a
  quarterly series runs late, you’ve got problems. This
  isn’t as late
  as Spider-Man / Black Cat: The Evil That Men Do
  #4 was, but
  it’s still late.
• Son of M #1 – The first part of a six issue
  miniseries.
• Ultimate Iron Man #5 – The Orson Scott Card series
  wraps up. I’ll
  grab the TPB version.
• Uncanny X-Men #467 – Along with Secret War, one of
  two items I’m
  picking up today. I’ve been collecting this lately as
  I’ll have every
  issue of the title ever published once 40 Years of
  X-Men
  finally ships, with the possible exception of a TPB or
  two in between
  where the DVD leaves off and the time I started
  collecting. The DVD
  should be out by the end of the year, possibly next
  week. A set for
  the Avengers is expected in January, and a DVD version
  of Spider-Man
  (which is only a slight upgrade from the CD-ROM set
  I’m reading,
  including only the annuals and what’s already
  collected) will be out
  after that. Rumour has it that Hulk is the next
  character on the
  list. I’d love to see Daredevil, as well.
