New Comics Wednesday 11/6/13

Happy New Comics Wednesday! Here are the comics that I’m getting this week (what are you buying?), along with a smattering of other comics to consider, and some news.

The list:

ACTION COMICS #25: Looking forward to what Greg Pak will bring to the character.
ALEX + ADA #1: Really looking forward to this Jonathon Luna production.
DAREDEVIL: DARK NIGHTS #6
DOCTOR WHO: PRISONERS OF TIME #10
DRUMHELLAR (PREVIOUSLY STRANGEWAYS) #1: Based on the description for #1, I think “Strangeways” was a better title.
EARTH 2 #17
EAST OF WEST #7
FATALE #18
FOREVER EVIL #3
GREEN LANTERN #25
LEGENDS OF RED SONJA #1
MIGHTY AVENGERS #3
SUPERMAN UNCHAINED #4
TEN GRAND #5: My LFtM (Looking Forward the Most) pick of the week.
AMAZING X-MEN #1: Just buying it for the curiosity factor; I haven’t preordered beyond this issue.
BATMAN/SUPERMAN #5: I’m intrigued by the horizontal storytelling format.

Here’s a few more items out this week for you to consider:

If you were waiting for the trade, now you can read the Batman: Night of the Owls tpb.
Is anyone picking up those DC Essentials? If so, Justice League #1 comes out today.
Wow, the Official DC Super Hero Cookbook is being released today. Along with over 50 fun recipes, “kids will enjoy flipping through the fabulous finish photos for inspiration”. Uh huh.
Oh, good god: A Very Klingon Khristmas.
The Hawkeye (or Hawkguy, if you prefer) vol. 1 HC contains 12 issues, for those who like that kind of collection.
I thought about ordering this: Longshot Saves the Marvel Universe #1.

Go here for a complete list of comics releasing this week.

And finally, some news:

First of all, Nick Cardy died on Sunday. I know and appreciate his work from the Teen Titans issues that I have. CBR put together a bunch of Cardy covers–check them out.
Saga wins yet another award: best comic/graphic novel at the 2013 British Fantasy Awards.
An episode of Agents of SHIELD will tie in to the latest Thor movie. I wonder how that will go for people who don’t watch the movie, but watch the tv series (I’m sure there are a few)?
Speaking of television, the CW is developing a series based on Hourman?! I would love to see this since Hourman is one of my favorite Golden Age DC characters.
Dan DiDio hinted about another weekly series, supposedly called Five Years Later. As I tweeted earlier today, I just want good stories set in the now, not some flash forward event to boost sales for that month. But to be fair, I should wait to see what actually becomes of this.
Finally, Bill Willingham announced that Fables will end with #150. I also learned that Fairest will also be ending shortly before that.
