Your local comic shop will greet the UPS
man with open arms and maybe some tongue
and together, they will ensure that the
following books are on the racks. To see
the unedited, complete list, go here but
I warn you - they don't have pictures. I
have pictures this week, my friends.
DC Comics
SEP050244 JLA CLASSIFIED #14 $2.99J'onn totally owns in this issue. You'll know what I mean when you read it.
SEP050295 OCEAN TP $14.99Warren Ellis went back in and added several captions and dialogue exchanges to the last chapter in this book because as it stood, it didn't really convey his intent clearly. I've got to say that I admire the effort to correct a mistake that actually did frustrate a few people in service to the overall story. Good call.

SEP051691 FELL #3 $1.99How much more by Ellis do I need to be reading, anyway?
I think it's neat that the crankiest Brit since George is working with two series - this and Desolation Jones that swim in roughly the same waters while managing to do completely different things. Its those two books that make Jack Cross seem like a sore thumb as that series moves on, thanks to the art.
SEP051692 FERRO CITY #4 $2.99Yup, sticking until the end with this one, as it may be flawed but the mystery keeps me guessing just enough while prociding me with lots of awesome art.
JUN051793 NEGATIVE BURN SUMMER SPECIAL 2005 $9.95
"Summer Special" my ass.
Marvel
SEP051937 GIANT SIZE INVADERS #2 $4.99I could just point you to the solicitation, which reads as follows:
Captain America, the Sub-Mariner and the Human Torch � together again, in a brand-new story written by the legendary Roy Thomas! Plus: The greatest super heroes of World War II unite to battle the Axis powers in INVADERS #1-2 (August-October 1975); the Sub-Mariner takes on the Torpedo Boat Terror, from ALL-WINNERS COMICS #1 (Summer 1941); the Human Torch gets caught in the Carnival of Death, from ALL-WINNERS COMICS #2 (Fall 1941); and Captain America cracks the Strange Case of the Malay Idol, also from ALL-WINNERS #2.However, I am not that sort of person, who says that such a fine collection of reprints indicates something guaranteed to provide me with my Nazi slaughter that I have come to demand in my modern comics. Instead, I'm going to remind you that the name of the comic is Giant Sized Invaders and show you the cover, which took the name way, way too literally:
96 PGS./T+ SUGGESTED FOR TEENS AND UP ...$4.99
SEP051947 SENTRY #3 (OF 8) $2.99Look, I may not care what happens in a Sentry comic that's not drawn by Jae "Jae Lee" Lee, but Jenkins and John Romita Jr made sure the frist four pages of this comic contain an absolutely essential scene for people who like The Hulk and Dogs. As a present to you, the loyal reader, here's the Hulk and The Sentry's superpowered dog being cuter than...
...aw, hell, anything else on the planet:

AUG053253 MIDDLEMAN #4 (OF 4) $2.95Are you buying this? You should be buying this. There will be a trade soon and you can buy that and then you'll be like me, saying it's excellent and annoying people that visit your website.
Wait, I'm annoying for many, many other reasons, including the fact that I'm half-watching American Ninja in Spanish when in reality I don't speak Spanish - I just want to watch some ninjas.
Really, outside of Wimbledon Green, which I seem to have been waiting on forever and last week's Marvel Masterworks: Fantastic Four Volume 9, which was delayed for some reason, it's not that big a week for me. I'm sure something will sneak in, like the titular ninja in this fine motion picture.
