Looks like What-IF or alternate characters. I see werewolf Cap, a vampire wolverine, a phoenix powered Kraven the Hunter (??), and a punisher venom. Can't tell what's up with Doom and Carnage though.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Possibly the Monster-verse from Remenders fun Secret Avengers run. Although that had Franken-Castle and not Venom-Punisher:
I requested the first two volumes of this from the library because of your write up here, looking forward to checking it out.

Oh wow, that's really great to hear man! I'd love to know what you think once you've read them. The first two volumes are nice and thick too, so you'll have plenty to bite into. It really is incredible, and far ahead of itself. If Dysart had come along with it now and had it published at say Image, I'd think he'd have got a much longer run than he did, and probably a lot more eyes on it. As it is, it finished up in 2011 and still manages to be (sadly) very relevant in the issues it explores, and a fantastic story to boot.
EDIT: And on pretty much the furthest note you can get from Unknown Soldier, I really think DC might get me to buy a few superman books next year, somehow. I was already up for Unchained just because of the Snyder. Then I was thinking about Batman Superman and was tempted, for the Jae Lee art. But I've just read a preview for Pak's Action Comics and um, I really kind of dug it ha. I like Young Superman, I don't know why Action comics can't just be young superman all the time, he has a good attitude haha. Preview is here. The art is phenomenal.

My opinion: Despite the number of writers the series is actually pretty decent. It has some good runs and doesn't suffer the same problems that Superboy has, for example, feels like it still has a coherent theme.
Go in knowing it's going to basically be about an angst teenage girl being angsty and wanting to be left alone but constantly being messed with.
Once they come in and I read through them I'll post my impressions in here. Based on what you've said and what I've read about it, it sounds like something that's right up my alley. I'm disappointed I missed it when it was coming out.
Unrelated, I got the Batman: The Black Casebook tpb (that I mentioned in last month's thread) over the weekend. I'll probably get to it this week and post impressions after. For those who missed my earlier post about it, it's a Batman collection curated by Grant Morrison of stories from the 50s and 60s that inspired and informed his run on the character. It was released in 2009, a few months after RIP came out in hardcover.

Man, I forgot how great Frankencastle was. So much fucking fun, and before I read it, I expected to hate it. Great stuff.

It was pretty on and off shit until #34 when Sterling Gates took over. I liked it until the end from there. I loved when she started teaming up with Damian or Stephanie. The Amanda Connor issue was awesome though.Some of before that was ok. but I think midteens to mid 20ish maybe? I hated myself...lol
The Peter David run with the other Supergirl before is my favorite though.
New 52 Supergirl is ok except when it got to H'el on Earth. Its good again after that. Sometimes it feels really close to being better..like I wish they did more with her and Banshee. The Power girl issues were good.
also I'm ready for some Batgirl teamups
or a Nightwing Batgirl book ..
I never read any Super-family comics before New 52 Supergirl, continued to not read any of them during reading that either so when that H'el on Earth thing came up it threw me for a loop. Didn't really like where the story went but I enjoyed it up until that point, although I've sort of dropped off reading it again. Maybe will go back and pick up the issues I've missed if it's still alright.

Only Amazing X-Men #1 for me this week. It better be fucking awesome because I will be depressed and grumpy as fuck if it's disappointing and I have nothing else to read.
Filthy Slug
Crowd screaming like hounds at the heat of the chase/ All the colors of the rainbow flood my face
Jason Aaron writes X-books like its nobody's business, but he keeps getting wrapped up in dumb and shitty X-events. That's why I dropped Wolverine and the X-men, which I loved.

And breaking my moratorium on buying trades and OGNs, I think I will pick up Hellboy: The Midnight Circus. I've decided that it is not an OGN because it's just too damn short. It's a floppy that doesn't flop, is what it it. One that looks to be a fun window into the Hellboy world.
Preview of Hellboy: The Midnight Circus.
For all you fans of Supergirl here's a terrible Supergirl T-Shirt.
Kinda dig the pink Supergirl keychain, though.

And, yes, that silver-tongued devil doniewhalberg talked me into buying it. Or, well, inspired me to search out a preview, which in turn sold me with it's gorg art.

Haha, I AM BREAKING EVERYONE DOWN. For my next trick, watch as one turns into many. I'm glad you're checking it out, Fegredo is absolutely incredible. I love Mike, but when Fegredo came on to do the epic trilogy, I actually think he kind of does a better hellboy than mike does. The two of them together, it's just something else, and of course the great thing is these little OGNs act as a really easy way to peer into Hellboy's world and see if you like what's going on.
Barnes and Noble's DC/Marvel B2G1 sale goes all the way through January 2nd.
I won't go as crazy as last year (all of DMZ, all of Scalped, Knightfall, Kirby's Fourth World, No Man's Land), but I think I can make use of this...

I saw it on Saturday, it was good! I enjoyed it even more than the first, which I really liked. I loved how much of it was set in England, and it was cool seeing more of the nine realms and secondary characters. Did you stay for the post-credits teaser?

Man this is such a good month.
I've moved into my new flat proper and all my books are in the same place for the first time in a while.
I've still got a lot of Invincible to get through, and I'm probably not up to date with The Walking Dead (although I don't really feel the need to continue, there is a definite cycle with the series that makes it predictable).
There are gaps in Grant Morrison's Batman run (which I think they really messed up with all the title switching, I didn't really have a clue what was going on in the 3rd Batman and Robin book with the villain, I guess I need to read The Black Glove?)
I'm mostly interested in super hero runs that are already done so don't go on forever, like New X-Men / Astonishing X-Men
So what am I missing?

That's a pretty sweet poster, SystemBug!
So I'm all alone reading Wild Blue Yonder, huh? Seriously.This is a serious question. None of y'all are reading freaking Wild Blue Yonder?
It's about, ok, these people in the future, right, and the earth has become too polluted to live on with any kind of quality of life. So the lucky few live on, like, big freighter planes. And different factions battle each other in the sky. Sky battles! And certain dudes are "guns" and they have, like, rockets and they fly through the air taking people out, oh man, it's so good. And it's also about a family and stuff and there is this spy but you kind of wonder if he's gonna be swayed to the other side. It's just so fun yet serious and different from anything else I'm reading. I encourage you folks to give it a look!

I actually tweeted about this last Wednesday, I saw #3 when I was at my LCS but no one seemed to have much information about it. Glad to hear you think it's good though, I'll look into it this week.
A little off topic, but do any of you think Smallville will be released in blu ray form for the complete series set?

I should have pointed out that for most comics I didn't start until say the new 52. So these words mean very little to me. But I am trying

You should probably check out Fear Agent, i only got one trade in so far but it's very enjoyable sci-fi shenanigans with great art.
That looks more like a colossus powered Wolverine. And the wolf Captain America is probably a reference to the Man and Wolf (or as I like to call it, Crap wolf) storyline they did in his first series around issue #402-408.
I'm all for the inhumans moving to the forefront and getting the attention that I believe they deserve. Mutants have been on the brink of extinction for awhile, so unless they bred like rabbits the past few years, it's hard to think of a plot device that doesn't involve time-traveling to replenish the mutant numbers.
Plus, I'm always for more Black Bolt and Lockjaw storylines. I'm searching for Pet Avengers trades to buy for myself and my gf.

It looks really weird and cool. People have faith in Remender delivering another great sci-fi series.
I think as of the start of Uncanny X-Men (maybe earlier?) new mutants have started popping up all over the place. That has been the plot of that book for the most part.
I don't know anything about inhumans. Is there an inhumans book? Are they aliens?

How does one sound uniformed?
