Warren Ellis kicks off his run on “Astonishing X-Men,” and Mike Kunkel begins his “Shazam!” run. Full list and commentary after the break.
ALL NEW ATOM #25
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #564

ASTONISHING X-MEN #25 MD
If you’re going to follow up Joss Whedon, Ellis seems like a reasonable choice. The original “Astonishing” run will, I think, be remembered as a great one despite the many delays.

BILLY BATSON AND THE MAGIC OF SHAZAM #1
I really want to read more comics by Mike Kunkel (“Herobear and the Kid”), so I hope this sells really well. And, you and your kids should all enjoy it.

Whedon returns to scripting “Buffy,” though fans seem to accept the Whedon and non-Whedon issues fine. The same as they would if it were still a television series, I suppose.
