Labor Day knocked me off my previews schedule, so this is the first look I’ve gotten at what’s coming. Including this month-long stunt that I totally forgot DC was going to pull.
- DC starts its zero issue routine this month, putting a halt to way too many plot lines. They are launching Phantom Stranger, and hopefully Silk Spectre will get over its weak second issue. There’s also the second volume of the Starman Omnibus collection.
- Marvel rolls out a few one shots, namely Thanos Quest and Big Hero 6, plus launching Road to Oz. There’s also more Hawkeye. And, in a release that will excite a lot of my friends, Marvel has a collection of Revenge of the Sinister Six coming out.
- Image, meanwhile, has more of Howard Chaykin’s weird tentacle porn Black Kiss II, Thief of Thieves, and Think Tank. They also launch the Invincible tie-in Guarding the Globe.
- Dark Horse has Oreimo and Vampire Hunter D collections, and that’s it, but for manga fans that should be enough.
- IDW has more Cape 1969 and brings Fugitoid to their TMNT universe. We’ll be having an interview will Paul Allor, the writer, about that tomorrow.
- And Boom! launches a new Planet of the Apes miniseries and has more Hypernaturals.
As usual, let’s talk about what you’re picking up.
