Well with all the excitement of last weeks convention over, it'll be nice to sit back and enjoy a nice quite week of new comics.
Wait! What do you mean school starts back next Tuesday?
Well lets hope there's some comic fans mixed in with this years crop of delinquents.
Marvel brings out some even older characters when putting together Models Inc. Millie and Chili the models had their own titles back in the '50's and early 60's, before the underwear crowd started monopolizing everything. Patsy Walker is a little more familiar to most of us in her "hero" identity of Hellcat.
The Marvel Super-Hero Squad may look familiar, because the logo shows up on the front corner of almost every Marvel comic this month. Not really appropriate in some cases, but you can't fault Marvel for trying to upsell a new Kid-friendly comic. Besides, they're the kind of cutesy characters that Marvels new owners must love.

Nice mixed week with some good regular titles and not too many first issues to clog the shelves.
The big #1 this time around is Dark Reign the List-Avengers. This is the first of the one-shots where Norman Osborn starts hunting down the heroes who've been the biggest thorns in his side since his rise to power. I have to admit, that I've been enjoying the Dark Reign stuff, and can't
wait to see how it all ends.
DC's answer to Captain America, The Shield, gets a regular series, with a back-up of The Inferno.
Hopefully these characters will integrate into the DC system without clogging up an already hero heavy roster. Marvel decides to add to its flag waving heroes by re-introducing the female Bucky character from the Heroes Reborn universe. I trust Brubaker has firm plans for her.

Speaking of Kid-friendly, the 2nd volume of Amulet finally arrives, to the shrieks of school age children everywhere. If your kids loved Bone and Harry Potter, do yourself a favour and get them a copy of Amulet, chances are they have already been bugging you for it.
