  • DETECTIVE COMICS #866
  • FRINGE TALES FROM THE FRINGE #1 (OF 6)

IDW Comics

  • ANGEL #34
  • GHOSTBUSTERS HOLIDAY SPECIAL CON VOLUTION #1
  • GI JOE SPECIAL MISSIONS TP VOL 01 – The first 7 issues of a series that lasted 28. I’m betting on a four volume TPB collection in not too long.
  • JURASSIC PARK REDEMPTION #1

Image Comics

  • SAM & TWITCH WRITER #4 (OF 4)

Marvel Comics

  • AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #635 – Grim Hunt
  • ASTONISHING X-MEN GIFTED GN HC W/MOTION COMIC DVD – This is an interesting combination. I really enjoyed the Spider-Woman motion comic, but not this one. It just clearly wasn’t intended for this medium when designed. It could look a lot worse, but it still doesn’t look right.
  • AVENGERS #2 – Heroic Age
  • DEADPOOL & CABLE ULTIMATE COLL TP BOOK 02 – If you missed this series (originally titled “Cable and Deadpool”) all 50 issues are being collected in this format. Don’t miss it this time. None of the Deadpool titles on the market now are as good as this series was.
  • FANTASTIC FOUR #580 – Heroic Age. Hickman’s been clearly building to something so far. I can’t wait to find out what.
  • HULK #23 – World War Hulks, promising the origin of Red Hulk. Loeb’s got his work cut out for him, selling me on this one.
  • IRON MAN LEGACY #3
  • SECRET WARRIORS #17 – Heroic Age
  • SHIELD #1 – Third printing. I usually don’t list these, but I missed it on the first printing and shouldn’t have. It’s fantastic. Hickman is rapidly becoming my favorite comics writer. I just need to see one of his runs conclude before I make that judgment.
  • THUNDERBOLTS #145 – Heroic Age.
  • ULTIMATE COMICS AVENGERS 2 #4
  • X-FACTOR #206 – X-Men: Second Coming sidebar story.
  • X-MEN LEGACY #237 – X-Men: Second Coming chapter 12 out of 14. I’ve enjoyed the first 11 more than either “Messiah Complex” or “Messiah War.”
