Hey gang... I've got two, maybe three comics to look forward to come Wednesday, which means I'll not be going to the shop for the first time in... I dunno, a couple months maybe? At least it'll give me some extra time to work on that backlog pile sitting on my desk, without another seven or eight issues being added to it for every four I read.
What I'm getting at is, we're gonna do things a little differently this week. Instead of posting my meager selections, I'm just going to highlight a handful of books from each publisher, based mostly on interesting-looking covers I can make fun of, and let you take it from there.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After an unscheduled departure due to last week's release of the spectacular 'Under the Red Hood', Penguin's "DC/Marvel at the Animated Movies" thread gets back on track with this week's feature, the 2009 release Superman/Batman: Public Enemies. If you're familiar with the 2003 Loeb/McGuinness story it's adapted from, then you should know what to expect.
Watch the trailer for 'Superman/Batman: Public Enemies' on Youtube!

JUN100396 MURDERLAND #1 (MR) $2.99 - is it just me, or does Image have an abundance of similarly- named titles right now?
JUN100398 NANCY IN HELL #1 (OF 4) (MR) $2.99 - yeah, this looks really, really skeevy from the previews. Like one of those Avatar Press comics.
