Week 2 of Villain month at DC looks strong, and Marvel launches another Avengers title.
We saw quite a few early sellouts on certain Evil issues this week, but considering the hype, we still have stock on many of the 3D issues. Next week looks about the same with a few books shipping short and almost impossible to find on most comic store shelves.
Marvel launches the Mighty Avengers #1, hyped as the all minority team, with a mystery Spider-Man in the background who may either be the Ultimates version or possibly the Spider-Man of 2099, both of whom have recently entered the main Marvel Universe.
Also new at Marvel is Infinity Hunt #1, which should tie in with the Infinity crossover, but instead sounds like a separate mini-series similar in style to the old Contest of Champions, only featuring teen heroes. Not sure how many will be left after Avengers Arena wraps, but with Matt Kindt
writing, we're in for a great story.
Kings Watch is new Dynamite series featuring classic newspaper characters in a team setting. The Phantom, Flash Gordon and Mandrake the Magician will be written by Jeff Parker who has done a great job in the past on books like Marvel Advs. Avengers, and Atlas.
