Dark Horse Comics

  • APOCALYPSE NERD - I've heard nothing about this series, but the trade is tempting due to the title alone.
  • RETURN O/T GREMLINS #1 (OF 3)
  • STAR WARS KNIGHTS OF OLD REPUBLIC #26 VECTOR PART 2
  • USAGI YOJIMBO #110

DC Comics

  • ALL STAR SUPERMAN #10
  • BLUE BEETLE #25 - The reviews (here and elsewhere) are a whole heck of a lot better than the sales on this title. I'm going to strongly consider giving this a try if my local comic shop has copies. Sadly, with sales like this, most shops are probably stocking the "fulfill preorder" quantities only, making it tough to give it a try this month.
  • COUNTDOWN LORD HAVOK AND THE EXTREMISTS #6 (OF 6)
  • COUNTDOWN SPECIAL ECLIPSO 80 PAGE GIANT
  • COUNTDOWN TO ADVENTURE #8 (OF 8)
  • COUNTDOWN TO FINAL CRISIS 5
  • FREDDY VS JASON VS ASH #6 (OF 6)
  • GREEN LANTERN #29 - Still rocking after the Sinestro Corps War.
  • JACK OF FABLES #21
  • NIGHTWING THE LOST YEAR TP
  • SHOWCASE PRESENTS BOOSTER GOLD TP VOL 01 - One of the most recent series to get Showcase Presents treatment.
  • WILDSTORM REVELATIONS #6 (OF 6)

Dynamite Entertainment Comics

  • BATTLESTAR GALACTICA ORIGINS #4

Image Comics

  • SAVAGE DRAGON #135
  • WANTED HC DIRECTORS CUT ED (MR) - I've heard fantastic things about this, but everyone I know who read this before seeing the movie trailers hated what they saw. My plan is to see the movie first, and read this second. That way, I may be able to enjoy both; it sounds like I won't enjoy the movie if I'm already familiar with the source material.

Marvel Comics

  • BLACK PANTHER #35
  • DAREDEVIL #106 - The lack of crossovers with other titles has translated into a lack of attention given to this title, but it deserves that attention. Brubaker's doing a great job.
  • GHOST RIDER TP TRAIL OF TEARS
  • IRON MAN DOOMQUEST PREM HC
  • MARVEL ATLAS #2 (OF 2)
  • MIGHTY AVENGERS #11
  • MS MARVEL #25 - A Secret Invasion crossover with two covers available.
  • NEW AVENGERS #39 - A Secret Invasion crossover.
  • NEW WARRIORS #10 - Will cross over with Secret Invasion later this year.
  • SHE-HULK 2 #27 - Will cross over with Secret Invasion later this year.
  • SPIDER-MAN PREM HC ONE MORE DAY - I'm listing this so you're aware of it. That doesn't necessarily mean I'm recommending it.
  • ULTIMATE FANTASTIC FOUR #52
  • ULTIMATE HUMAN #3 (OF 4) - This has been a lot of fun thus far.
  • ULTIMATE IRON MAN II #4 (OF 5)
  • ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #120
  • ULTIMATE X-MEN #92
  • WORLD WAR HULK AFTERSMASH DAMAGE CONTROL #3 (OF 3) - This series will get reviewed this weekend.
  • X-MEN LEGACY #209

How did Black Panther
posted by Trik on March 26 2008, 6:54 pm
ever rate the coverage he now gets?
He was like a 5th tier char for decades.
And all the sudden he's a big shot major char and married to 1st tier char.
Seriously he's quite possibly the lamest char in Marvel's stable.
He's like the gimp Daredevil who is the gimp Spiderman...

I don't get it either. I started collecting for Civil War, stuck around for the Fantastic Four, and will stick around again for Secret Invasion. That's mainly because I like having the complete story for the events, and not because I'm particularly enjoying the title itself.

Dark Wraith of Shannara
posted by SemperAskew on March 27 2008, 5:03 pm

New York Times bestselling author Terry Brooks’ most popular fantasy series is making its graphic novel debut this week, courtesy of Del Rey, a division of the Random House Publishing Group.

Terry Brooks, along with writer Robert Place Napton and artist Edwin David, bring readers a brand-new adventure set in the bestselling Shannara universe in the form of an original graphic novel. Dark Wraith of Shannara is set a few years after the events of The Wishsong of Shannara and the Shannara short story “Indomitable”, which first appeared in the Robert Silverberg-edited Legends II together with other short stories by a number of noteworthy fantasy authors.

Sounds like a good read to me.
