More November Solicits

Marvel for November has been posted at Comics Continuum, and there's almost nothing of interest to me. Hubby-Eric and I made the difficult decision to drop Amazing Spider-Man for the duration of the crossover... but better to drop the stupid book then have to buy two more books for three months just to get the whole story. That leaves Powers as the only regular book we're getting from Marvel (since Supreme Power seems to have splintered). The only other book that looks even vaguely tempting is the Marvel Holiday Special 2005...

Continuum also has Image for November, and that's another disappointment. The only thing that we'll order from the whole listing is Noble Causes. I'm still interested in Invincible and PvP, but I can't really afford to add any books to the pile at the moment. We've been having to cut back dramatically.

Update: Marvel for November at CBR and Image for November at CBR.

Of the big four, then, that leaves Dark Horse for November... I'll continue to get the new Conan, just because I really like it. The Perhapanauts sounds really fun, but again, we can't really afford to add books right now. Samurai Executioner hasn't come out for awhile, but I'll continue to order it. I want the whole series. Star Wars: The Comics Companion sounds like a great idea, as the Star Wars comics seem to me to be a vast pool of too many stories to deal with. I won't get it, but it's a great idea. And, of course, I'll get Usagi Yojimbo.

In case you missed it, I tackled DC for November here.

And one last note. Aquaman's sales, if ICv2's estimates are correct, have now hit the same level where he was cancelled in 2000. Unless DC has another reason to keep Aquaman going, the death-watch for the title is probably on. To offer some hope, there's another possibility that would keep Aquaman swimming: sales have been dropping across the board, so the cancellation threshhold might be lower now, as opposed to five years ago, as well.
