Greetings Earthlings!

Once again I am doing my monthly cruise thru Previews. Breaking it up into DC, Marvel and Image. Hopefully get to some of the smaller publishers later in the week. This mostly stuff that looks interesting to me or you might not hear about.

( BATMAN/THE SPIRIT )

Jeph Loeb is cool. Darwyn Cooke is cool. J. Bone is cool. And the Spirit is cool. And the Batman is okay too.

( HUNTRESS: DARK KNIGHT DAUGHTER TP )

Like the Justice Society trade that came out earlier this month I am really geeked about this bit of pre-Crisis goodness. For me this is the real Huntress.

( BIRDS OF PREY #100 )

New role for the Black Canary? What was wrong with the old one? They better not be taking her out of this book.

( JSA CLASSIFIED #19 )

Not a big Scott Beatty fan, but the combination of Morales and Bair on the art along with Dr Mid-Nite is a enough of a draw for me.

( NEW TEEN TITANS: TERRA INCOGNITO TP )

Wolfman and Perez at their peak on the Teen Titans. The whole Terra saga under one cover and the first appearace of Dick Grayson in his very 1980's large collar costume.

( SUPERMAN CONFIDENTIAL #1 )

Hmmm Cooke and Sale doing a book together? Can we expect some neo-Silver Age comic goodness? I think so.

( RED MENACE #1 (of 6) )

This looks to be interesting. I havent liked the writers take on the new Flash book, but then I dont know why they had to have another new Flash either.

( 100 BULLETS VOL. 10: DECAYED TP )

Three quarters of the way through the storyline with this trade. Wonder how bloody the end will be when it comes?

( FABLES VOL. 8: WOLVES TP )

Yet another book I only read in trade. Be interested to see the maps. This is one book that it is really hard to wait for though.

( AVENGERS NEXT #1 & 2 )

I read Spider-girl every month so there is no way I am going to miss this. I enjoyed all 12 issues of the original series. The first six issues of said series is available in digest size as well.

( BULLET POINTS #1 (OF 5) )

Not sure why they just dont call this a What If? Curious how JMS shoehorned Uncle Ben in the Cap mythos.

( THE IMMORTAL IRON FIST #1 )

I am a big Iron Fist geek. Hopefully Brubaker and Matt Fraction can bring Daniel Rand back to his glory.

( MARVEL LEGACY: THE 1980's HANDBOOK )

I am always a sucker for handbooks like this. And we get to see Rocket Racoon, New Universe and the Spaceknights!

( THUNDERBOLTS #108 )

What is Zemo's endgame? Will Songbird kill Zemo? Will Radioactive Man find true love? Will Mach IV chrome his armor? Will Joystick give birth to her love child from the Grandmaster? Ok so I made some of that up.

( WHAT IF? AVENGERS DISASSEMBLED )

I like Jeff Parker's writing and I am interested if he can improve upon the whole Disassembled mess. Though with the crap job Bendis did that wouldnt be hard.

( WHAT IF? WOLVERINE: ENEMY OF THE STATE )

I dont read the mothly Wolverine book. But I am a Jimmie Robinson fan from his work on Amanda and Gunn and Avigon. He also has been garnering some notice for Bomb Queen coming out from Image lately. So I will give this a shot.

( WHITE TIGER #1 (of 6) )

I dont think I have ever read any of Tamora Pierce's prose work though from what I have seen online so far interests me so this goes in the buy pile. I am just trying figure out how if she is Hector's niece from the old White Tiger stories how she grew up so fast when Franklin Richards is still in the first grade?

( THE OFFICIAL HANDBOOK OF THE INVINCIBLE UNIVERSE #1 (of 2) )

As I have said before I am a sucker for handbooks and I love Invincible so..... Besides it will be handy for converting characters to Truth and Justice.

( LOW ORBIT, VOL. 1 )

I will always try the first couple issues of a SF comic because there arent enough of them.

( NOBLE CAUSES, VOL. 6: HIDDEN AGENDAS TP )

Another in a long line of comics I read only in TPB. Noble Causes has always read better for me this way.

( NEGATIVE BURN #7 )

This issue I get some Mike Ploog and RG Taylor again (who with Dave Darrigo did the excellent Wordsmith series many years ago. Its worth tracking down). YAY!!
