Comics shipping, 2-11-09
Three big releases this week, from the three biggest publishers. DC releases Batman #686, written by Neil Gaiman; Image celebrates the 75th issue of “The Darkness,” and Marvel celebrates the 600th issue of “Thor.” Humorously enough, both “The Darkness” and “Thor” shifted from lower-numbered issues to celebrate the anniversary issues. But that’s OK with me, I like the higher numbers better.
Full list and commentary after the break. List provided by Previewsworld.com.

I want to try the Invaders. I read the first issue(Giant Size) and was kind of disappointed. I am going to give it another try, seeing as how I like the WWII stories. I did, however like the All-Star Squadron who came 6 years after Giant Size Invaders.
