NEW COMICS WEDNESDAY -SEPT. 1st

Well we knew a big week was due, and here it is. (some of the items on this list actually arrived THIS week, due to an error on Diamonds end. The titles with a star -* after them are currently in store)
I am an Avenger seems to be another of those anthology titles with a couple short stories in each issue. (I kind of get the feeling that Marvel commissioned a lot of short 8-page stories on random characters to run as back-up stories when they jumped their comics to $4.00, the way DC did. But decided to just collect them all in their own comics and charge $4.00 for them too.)
Heroic Age One Month to Live, sounds like a neat story, as a character gets super powers and 1 month to use them. Its a weekly book told sort of in real-time.
Speaking of weekly events, DC starts the first of their War stories revivals with Our Army at War, look for another each week this month.
Marvel is trying to make Thor the "new" Deadpool as it seems another Thor comic starts up every week lately. That said, Thor for Asgard looks really good.
Marvel also has another X-Men Curse title this week as well as the Elektra issue of Shadowland, both great storylines, but starting to suffer from the too many x-overs syndrome.
Wolverine restarts his "new" regular series(his old ones have barely ended), don't miss the Road to Hell special, that arrives with the Wolverine #1 as it helps set up the Wolverine event which will introduce the Wolverine Family of titles starting up soon.

Marvel usually only packs on this many first issues to try and outsell a big DC title debut. I can't help but think that this weeks deluge is to try and take the spotlight away from the real first appearance of a totally new character.

Veronica #202 introduces, Kevin Keller, the one boy in Riverdale who has NO interest in Veronica, for a reason that becomes very obvious.


REMEMBER TO STOP BY OUR BOOTH AT THE FANEXPO THIS WEEKEND AUGUST 27-29th.
