Great week starts off with Batman #17, the finale to the Death of the Family story. Just what does Joker have on that plate?
DC spins off the Birds of Prey character Katana,which should give us a little more personal info on the lady with the cursed sword, and her part in the new JLA comic starting in 2 weeks.
Marvel fights back with their big guns as they relaunch Uncanny X-Men. Quite a different book from previous runs as this time Cyclops and friends are technically the bad guys.
Walking Dead ships twice this week as the regular #107 arrives with the Governor Special. The special is basically a reprint of his first appearance along with a short story from last years Comic Legal Defense issue.

NEW COMICS WEDNESDAY - FEBRUARY 6th
Marvel, NOW this is getting ridiculous. I guess they are trying to get issue #100 of All New X-men out before the next movie or something. Also, this is the third week in a row for Avengers, and 3rd issue of Superior Spider-Man this month. I guess they make up for it by sending other stuff a few years late....Seriously, Scarlet #6 has an original ship date of April 2011. Like I'm gonna remember who ordered these things 2 years ago.
Fearless Defenders is the girl version of the classic team, that seems to be just Misty Knight and Valkyrie so far, but I'm sure other members will be coming along.
DC 52 Valentines Special is a large anthology in time for Valentines day. Features a great batch of stories by folks like Diggle and Gene Ha, and includes Valentines cards you can pull out and send to any nerd you love.
Speaking of Diggle, he and Jock get together for a new crime drama called Snapshot.
More crime drama as Garth Ennis starts his new series Red Team, about an elite NYPD narcotics squad. Sure to be full of guns and ass-kicking, stuff Ennis excels at.
Science and magic collide as a university professor discovers he is the Son of Merlin. First issue is a buck, so give it a try.
full list below the cut

NEW COMICS WEDNESDAY - JANUARY 30th
A bat heavy week, but the annuals have been really good so far. The Green Lantern Corps annual is important as it wraps up much of the Third Army storyline.
2 Watchmen issues as they try to catch up on the lateness problem, but the Dollar Bill #1 is only a one-shot so it could fit in anytime.
Injustice Gods Among Us is a DC series based on the new action game from the makers of Mortal Kombat. Basically a violent, bloody JLA story set in an alternate future. Fans of Kingdom Come might like to give it a try.
Marvel reprints the classic Silver Surfer by Moebius mini as a one-shot special.
Invincible hits #100 this week, with a batch of alternate covers. Won't be as big as Walking Dead #100, but should sell fast. If you've never read Invincible, I'll be having a sale on the paperbacks on the front table, with a great discount for anyone willing to buy a bunch at once.

NEW COMICS WEDNESDAY - JANUARY 23rd
I really hate when they pile all the comics together like this.
Way too many Avengers and X-Men books at once. And this time we get all 3 Green Lantern titles on the same day. This may be intentional though as they are the final issues of the Third Army storyline.
The newest version of Uncanny X-Force seems to be mostly women, with Storm, Psylocke and Spiral?
The relaunch of Young Avengers is quite a bit different than the earlier version, as Kid Loki joins the team.
2 Deadpool comics this week too, as Deadpool Killustrated starts. Mostly looks like Wade spreading carnage through classic stories , like Moby Dick.
Buffy Sampler is the first issues of the various Buffy books( Spike and Willow etc.)Looks like a cheap way to get newbies into the Whedonverse.
The first of a new series of figures featuring the various Batmobiles arrives this week. Should be a new one every few weeks, and most of them look amazing. First up is the 1989 movie version.

NEW COMICS WEDNESDAY - JANUARY 16TH
All new X-Men #6 arrives, seems like just yesterday we got issue #5.
We're into the last issues of the Batman crossover, so if anyones gonna actually die...well it better be soon.
Alpha Big Time reprints the Amazing Spider-man origin of Marvels greatest new character...that no-one seemed to care about.
Savage Wolverine features everyones favourite under-used character, Wolverine, as he moves to the Savage Land to team up with Shanna. Not sure how Ka-Zar feels about this, but it gives artist Frank Cho lots of half nekkid girly action to draw.
Threshold is a new space heroes series by Keith Giffin. It spins off from the story in this weeks Green Lantern Guardians annual, and will include a back-up featuring Larfleeze, the Orange Lantern.
Tood the Ugliest Kid on Earth is a new Image series that follows the mis-adventures of Americas most insanely messed up family.

NEW COMICS WEDNESDAY - JANUARY 9th
WOW! Sure are a lot of collections on the list this week. Making up for not shipping Christmas day I guess. The DC New 52's double up as the 2nd volume hardcovers arrive with the paperbacks of the first volumes.
Amazing Spider-Man may be gone(for now) but Superior Spider-Man takes its place(for a while).
Dark Horse finally starts an on-going title for Star Wars, by Brian Wood. Just bad timing announcing it after Disney bought the Star Wars franchise and has already said it will be moving the comics to Marvel as soon as contracts run dry( a year or so).
Walking Dead #106 has 2 different covers again. They say its to help meet demand for the comic, but just ensures the book will sell out twice as fast.

NEW COMICS WEDNESDAY - JANUARY 2nd
PLEASE NOTE: I will be closed Tuesday for New Years. ANY pre-orders should be sent in as early as possible to ensure your books will be waiting for you Wednesday morning.
***************************************************************************
Well Its the first new comics of the new year. And it looks like a pretty decent mix.
It seems strange to see All New X-Men #5 on the list when it only started a month ago, and yet Batman Incoporated started almost a year ago and is only up to #6.
> Anyone who bought Spider-Man #699.1, has read Morbius # 0, and will likely pick up the #1 this week.
> New Avengers restarts with a completely different feel from the last series of that name. This time around it is basically following the Illuminati as they try to stem an invasion from an alternate universe. It sounds like we will be seeing a lot of alternate universes in Marvel as the new year progresses as people like Hyperion and the New Universe characters begin to show up in Avengers and other titles.
> Another Adventure Time mini begins as Fionna and Cake take the spotlight. I sold a ton of Adventure Time comics through Christmas, and this one should sell well too.
> Punisher Nightmare is the first issue of a weekly mini series that sounds like it might introduce a new Punisher character. WARNING! This is a WEEKLY series, so if the first issue looks good, put an order in quick for the rest of the run as they will be ordered lower than the first issue and re-orders will not show up until the series is already over.
