Well AVX seems to be selling well enough, lets see how many people will follow the battles into the secondary title, AVX VS. It'll probably vary depending on the characters involved each issue.
Archie #632 is the 2nd part of the Archie/Valerie romance story, which continues into their future together as a married couple with kids! That's 3 wives he has now in alternate futures. Makes me wonder how far they'll take the gender-switching story coming up in a few months.
IDW releases another of those 100 page spectaculars as they reprint some of the Archie comics TMNT stories. I think that's the last time I read any Turtles stuff.

NEW COMICS WEDNESDAY - APRIL 18th
Dynamite reaches back to the past to revive another Pulp hero with the Shadow #1. Garth Ennis claims to be a huge fan of the original works and will keep true to the characters origins.
DC will be publishing Girl with the Dragon Tattoo graphic novels soon, and sends us a free preview to get us ready.
Punisher #10 is the 2nd chapter of the Omega story, and judging by how fast the Avenging Spider-Man sold out this week, people still love good old fashioned crossovers.

NEW COMICS WEDNESDAY - APRIL 11th
Well, when it rains it pours. Lots of new stuff this time around.
Reality TV comes to comics as Image begins Americas Got Powers. Bryan Hitch draws it, so it should look good, just dont get in a hurry for issue 2.
Avenging Spider-Man #6 starts the crossover with Punisher and Daredevil.
Amazing Spider-Man Hooky is a prestige format sized reprint of one of those large size graphic novels from years back.
Batman Arkham Unhinged #1 begins the next series following the hugely popular video game storyline.
Kids and adults alike will love to see Courtney Crumrin start a new on-going regular comic. The graphic novels were always huge sellers, its just nice to be able to get a monthly fix.
Always confusing when 2 similar titled books start at the same time. Its worse when they are from the same company and have similar themes.
Secret, sounds like a horror,suspense thriller involving government security firms.
Secret Service is basically the same without the horror angle.
Hickman writes Secret, and Millar writes Secret Service.
Both have very distinctive covers that will stand out on the shelves, but I'm betting the Service title, with its Dave Gibbons art will fly quick, taking advantage of the recent hype over the Before Watchmen stuff.

NEW COMICS WEDNESDAY - APRIL 4th
Avengers VS. X-Men #1 ships, I can't see how it can sell any faster than
the #0, but we'll see.
DC New 52 hits month 8, and the first of the casualties ship. OMAC will be
missed, Hawk and Dove ...not so much. At least Men of War #8 ends with a
bang as Jeff Lemire comes in with a Frankenstein in WWII story as the
title switches over to G.I. Combat next month.
We get to see what would happen if a zombie apocalypse hit during a
Comic-Con, in Fanboys VS. Zombies. The first issue is only a buck, so give
it a try.

NEW COMICS WEDNESDAY - MARCH 28th
Well the big Avengers VS. X-Men story starts for real ..sort of. After a 4 issue X-Sanction Prelude, we get a #0, before the thing actually really truly begins.
The #1 goes on sale April 4th, and continues bi-weekly for 6 months.
The 4th of the new Vertigo titles starts this week.
The New Deadwardians is a Zombie, Vampire caste story set in the Victorian era.
Yet another Ultimate Spider-Man #1 ships, as the cartoon show gets its own
comic. Marvel really needs to come up with some original names for their
series or they all just start to get lost in the mix. The first issue is FREE, while supplies last.

MARCH Previews - for MAY 2012
It's been a while since I did this, so I asked for some help from some customers, and amateur blogger Derek stepped up.
Here's his thoughts on some titles shipping in May.
"In 1992, the impossible happened - an upstart independent company created a new,
cohesive universe that managed to go toe-to-toe with the industry's biggest
publishers, forever changing the comics landscape in the process."
Which comic company wrote those words? Don't worry if you're stumped. Those words
easily describe two publishers - Valiant and Image - who are pulling retired
characters off the shelf and dusting them off with fresh creative teams this May.
