It's that time of month to consider what items to order from the latest issue of the comic shop's catalogue Previews, for release starting in January 2020. Yes the New Year is firmly in site as dare I say is Christmas since the shops are already stocking up!
The first item firmly on my order for the month is Wonder Woman #750. Since my retirement this is one of a whole range of titles that fell off my monthly pile for purely financial reasons and I can't wait to see what's up with the Amazon Princess.
Over the years I have dipped in and out of the character who in my view spends too much time within the Olympian Pantheon which through it's various revisions has become very difficult to follow.
I much prefer "real world" adventures.
Wonder Woman first appeared in All Star Comics #8 (Oct 1941), had her first feature in Sensation Comics #1 (January 1942) and her own series in the summer of 1942 and has been published continuously (except for a brief hiatus in 1986) since then. One hopes the title will keep the numbering just like Action Comics & Detective Comics have since reaching their albeit 1000th issues!
Other DC comics on my list for this month are the final issue of the excellent Freedom Fighters Maxi series, Superman #19, Legion of Superheroes #3 and John Constantine: Hellblazer #3!
Marvel continue to publish far too much to consider buying or following except I'll keep in touch via Fantastic Four #18 and stick to the various Conan titles which have reached the limit of my patience now. One can get too much of a good thing. I may drop Age of Conan.
Also on my pull list: Conan the Barbarian #12 (re-solicit) and two issues of Conan: Serpent War which will complete the story. Thought it would last longer but there it is.
Then there's the ladies from Dynamite...
First up is a new crossover/team up featuring Red Sonja and the Chaos characters. I'm a fan of these properties despite the disappointment of the last outing with Hack/Slash. Red Sonja, Chastity, Purgatori, Evil Ernie and the rest.
Meanwhile a variety of Dynamite titles remain on my pull list:
And of course:
Finally there's Archie and Katy Keene:
With the world of Archie proving a success in Riverdale and the new Sabrina TV series another Archie comics character Katy Keene is about to get a TV programme. I've heard of her but know little, but the next five issues of Archie feature Katy. So why not....
Meanwhile Veronica continues to draw blood in a new horror mini-series:
And not forgetting:
And from IDW new issues of Star Trek:Year Five #10 and Star Trek: Picard #3 (of 3).
Not much else this month. It's January everyone's skint after Christmas. However your choices may not be the same as mine!
Shalom Aleichem!
