It's that time of month again as we delve into the pages of previews the comic shops catalogue to see what takes our fancy for items coming out in December. Of course it's all a bit like being in a sweet shop we want it all (or lots of it) if we are honest but that's not possible as budgets are limited and there just isn't enough time to read it all!
One other problem is the weakness of the pound which means comics are very nearly the same price in dollars as they are in pounds. Rickety old pensioners like me have to be careful. My wants are bigger than my means so what's caught my attention this month?
From DC comes yet another "Black Label" item, Wonder Woman; Dead Earth. I no longer buy the monthly adventures and miss the Amazon Princess so this four issue mini series is a great chance to see Diana in action again. According to the solicitation:-
When Wonder Woman awakens from a centuries-long sleep to discover the Earth reduced to a nuclear wasteland, she knows she failed. Trapped alone in a grim future, Diana must protect the last human city from titanic monsters while uncovering its secret of this dead Earth-and how she may be responsible for it.
Good enough for me and will be joining The Inferior Five (two issues this month), The Legion of Superheroes, John Constantine: Hellblazer and Superman on my pull list. Brian Michael Bendis starts Superman this month. Worth a try I thought!
Next up is Marvel which is really taking advantage of it's renewed Conan licence and being a fan I've ordered them all including the first two issues of Conan Serpent War.
Along with the Conan titles The Fantastic Four and Guardians of the Galaxy make it to my pull list this month though Guardians gets dropped after this storyline for economy reasons. Don't stop reading it on my account...
Dynamite are stretching my budget with their ever expanding range of Vampirella and Red Sonja related titles. The six issue crossover with Archie sees their adventures with Betty and Veronica continue with #7. Sigh I'm a sucker for these ladies. There is also a reprint of Vampirella #2 the Warren edition from 1969 which I'm picking up.
So these join Vampirella, Vengeance of Vampirella, Red Sonja/Vampirella, Red Sonja and Chastity on my Dynamite order this month!

One last vampire joins my order this month, Vampironica from Archies wonderful Horror line. Great stuff!
Other comics I chose this month were from IDW Star Trek: Picard and Star Trek Year Five!
Go where no man has gone before with the original crew of the Starship Enterprise. What's not to like.
