Right before Thanksgiving, comic presses are putting out a ton of material so you’ll have something to do while the rest of the family gets drunk and resents each other.
- Corey Walker returns to “Invincible” with issue 85, so it’s great to see the old band back together. Also, “Invincible” approaching 100 issues makes me feel old.
- “Animal Man” #1 is back for a third printing, which is great news since it’s the best book out of the entire New 52.
- IDW is putting out smaller collections of the “Rocketeer” comics, a severely underrated series that never got a fair shake after the Disney movie bombed: definitely worth picking up.
- The Fantastic Four hit issue #600 this week, and Marvel is celebrating with lots of different variant covers and absolutely no improvement to the writing.
- Vampirella is still in print, for some reason.
As always, let us know what you’re picking up in the comments.

The Shade #2 – I haven’t enjoyed anything Robinson has done since Starman ended. The first issue was good, and I’m hoping this ends up being more like Robinson’s Starman work and less like his Superman stuff (although I really enjoyed the final issue of Justice League of America).
Fantastic Four #600 – I’ve loved the ideas that Hickman has introduced during his Fantastic Four/FF run, but I’ve been less than thrilled with the execution. Let’s see how they invalidate Torch’s death.
Invincible Iron Man #510 – I think Fraction gets the character of Tony Stark like no other. Some people are just born to write certain characters (like Jason Aaron currently with Wolverine), and this is a wonderful match.
Locke And Key The Guide To The Known Keys – I started reading these comics because I’m a huge Stephen King fan and wanted to see what his kid could do. I stayed because this has been a wonderful series. I’ve just started reading “Heart-Shaped Box” and am really enjoying that, too.
“Heart Shaped Box” is awesome. Also check out “Twentieth Century Ghosts”; superb story.
