The Bat Family
It’s almost December, where visions of sugar plums dance in our heads. First off, let me apologize for the lateness of this email. I broke my wrist playing hockey a couple of weeks ago, and it’s put quite the damper on my typing skills. Pre-orders for January 2011 are due this Sunday, November 28th, so please make sure you log into your account and update your subscriptions.
Some quick housekeeping before we get to the highlights. We’ll be shipping comics the first couple of weeks in December (through the 15th), and then Pete’s going to take some time off, and we’ll be doing monthly billing December 29th.
One other thing, we’re consolidating some titles, so for an example Ultimates 2 and Ultimates 3 are just “Ultimates”, similarly there’s one Ender’s Game title, and going forward any mini-series that end and are replaced with another mini-series of the same name will just be continued.
Here’s what looks good this month:
DC Comics, has done a line wide price adjustment, meaning that most of their titles are now 2.99, and they’re kicking it off with a ton of amazing iconic covers across the entire line.
DC also has a group of one-shot stories featuring Starman/Congorilla, Shazam, Wonder Girl, Weird Tales, and Steel. Jim Lee and Brian Azarello’s Batman Europa gets started, and one of All New Comics’ favourite artists Jill Thompson returns to the Endless with the Delerium’s Party hardcover.
Marvel brings back the Man without Fear with his all new status quo in Daredevil Reborn, The X-Men’s recently vampiric ex-mutant joins with Wolverine in Wolverine and Jubilee, while Captain America sees a new 4 issue mini-series in Ultimate Comics Captain America.
Dark Horse sees a new Star Wars mini-series with Darth Vader and the Lost Command, and Hellboy returns in a new mini-series, Hellboy the Sleeping and the Dead.
Image Comics has a HUGE push with three new mini-series this month including, Who is Jake Ellis, Infinite Vacation, and Memoir.
Also, the Walking Dead gets another Omnibus Hardcover, and a brand new series Walking Dead Weekly, which reprints the entire series from issue #1. By the way, if you’re not watching Walking Dead on AMC, you’re missing out on an amazing series!
Zombies invade the worlds of GI Joe, Transformers, Star Trek, and Ghostbusters in Infestation from IDW, the brothers Hernandez have a new standalone graphic novel, Love from the Shadows HC. Archie’s historic engagement to Veronica in issue #600 is collected along with 50 original covers in Archie 50 Times and American Icon, Set in “The Return of the Originals Universe”, comes the new pulp hero The Spider, in the vein of Persepolis and Fun Home, a young man revisits to his childhood in Vietnamerica.
Without further ado…here it is, the GREAT BIG LIST!
