Weekly Comics Discussion – November 19, 2008

Here’s this week’s list. The complete list is here.

Dark Horse Comics

  • CONAN THE CIMMERIAN #5
  • STAR WARS KNIGHTS OF OLD REPUBLIC #35 VINDICATION PART 4

DC Comics

  • AMBUSH BUG YEAR NONE #4 (OF 6)
  • BATMAN AND THE OUTSIDERS #13 – Batman RIP
  • BRAVE AND THE BOLD #19
  • COUNTDOWN TO FINAL CRISIS TP VOL 04
  • FLASH #246
  • JSA KINGDOM COME SPECIAL MAGOG #1
  • RANN THANAGAR HOLY WAR #7 (OF 8)
  • ROBIN #180
  • SCALPED #23
  • SUPERGIRL #35 – New Krypton
  • TRINITY #25
  • X-FILES #1 (OF 6) – This was solicited as an ongoing. Then the movie came out a week after “The Dark Knight,” and performed grossly below expectations, which I’m betting didn’t drive the comic sales quite as they expected.

Dynamite Entertainment

  • NEW BATTLESTAR GALACTICA GHOSTS #2 (OF 4)

IDW Comics

  • ANGEL AFTER THE FALL #14
  • DOCTOR WHO FORGOTTEN #3
  • STAR TREK LAST GENERATION #1

Image Comics

  • INVINCIBLE #55
  • SPAWN #186

Marvel Comics

  • AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #578
  • AVENGERS INVADERS (OF 12)
  • DEADPOOL #4
  • ENDERS GAME BATTLE SCHOOL #2 (OF 5)
  • ESSENTIAL MARVEL SAGA TP VOL 02
  • FANTASTIC FOUR #561
  • GHOST RIDER #29
  • IRON MAN DIRECTOR OF SHIELD #35 – The last issue in the Secret Invasion crossover, and the last in the series. I’ll review 33-35 shortly. It’ll be replaced in December by “War Machine,” the first few issues of which will be reviewed as part of Dark Reign.
  • PUNISHER WAR JOURNAL #25 – This was solicited as part 2 of 2 in the Secret Invasion crossover, but the February solicitations include issue 26 in the collected edition. If it forms a complete story, I’ll review these two as is.
  • SQUADRON SUPREME 2 #5
  • THUNDERBOLTS #126 – I’ve been warned this is set after “Secret Invasion #8,” and contains some major spoilers for the title.
  • ULTIMATE FANTASTIC FOUR #58 – February’s issue 60 will be the final issue. Given the changes revealed in the solicitations, I’m thinking I should review “Ultimatum” as the event it is as I have done with Secret Invasion and Final Crisis so far.
  • UNCANNY X-MEN #504
  • X-MEN LEGACY #218
  • X-MEN WORLDS APART #2 (OF 4)
  • YOUNG X-MEN #8
