This week brings some interesting stuff, although it’s surprisingly light on new issues compared to recent weeks. One note, though: for some reason, Diamond is listing “Mondo #1″ as coming out this week. Said Hulk-vs.-chickens comic hit stands last week. Anyway!
- DC has more Aquaman and the surprisingly good “Green Lantern: New Guardians” up this week, as well as a reissue of “Sandman”
- Marvel is putting out possibly the funniest thing ever: “Spider-Man Fights Substance Abuse”, a collection all those preachy anti-drug comics and one page stories they put out covering a range of social issues. And they’re all terrible, but they’re also hard to find. Whether nostalgia is worth $25 is up to you, but it’s pretty funny.
- Image has more “Prophet”, “Chew”, and “Bulletproof Coffin” hitting the stands, which more than makes up for the “Wizard of Oz”-except-it’s-horror book “There’s No Place Like Home”, which is already resorting to boobs to push issues.
- Speaking of boobs, Dynamite has a Witchblade/Red Sonja crossover starting this week.
- Dark Horse is putting out a whole bunch of collections, including a new collection of their great Kull comics.
- And IDW is up to their usual greatly appreciated archiving tricks, collecting a whole bunch of Wally Wood’s EC comics into a hardcover volume.
As usual, drop us a comment and let us know what you’re picking up at the FLCS, and the full list is under the cut.

Not a heavy week for me. I am still not caught up from last week. I need to make some.
I might actually check out that Spiderman collection. The first comic book I ever owned was given to me in the first grade at one of those anti-smoking propaganda assemblies. It featured Spiderman fighting teen smoking. All the other kids rolled them up and hit each other with them, but I read mine and it started my life long love for comic books.
Fairly light week for me as well, although I’ve got those number ones to read for tomorrow’s reviews. I’m kinda looking forward to Witchblade/Red Sonja, in a car wreck kinda way.
Now all we need is for DC to put out a collection of all those Subway ads where celebrities fight crime better than the superheroes.
Actually, what I really want? A collection of Marvel’s Hostess Fruit Pie ads.
