Zombie Month continues and we get lots of cool variants. They have absolutely nothing to do with the issues themselves but I still say, you can't get enough. At least I can't. I still crack a smile at seeing the Marvel characters zombified. I do wonder how accessible they will be. I know a lot of comic stores will grab all the variante before they can reach the shelves and jack up the price. I get what they're doing, especially with the "dealer incentive" covers (where they get a variant copy for ordering "x" number of copies of the regular issue). I persoanlly like the 50/50 covers, like with Spider-Man: One More Day. Give me a choice in covers. Sure if the price has been jacked up, you still have the "choice" to shell out more money for it. It's just lame for the readers. But we need our comic stores to stay in business so I won't cry about it anymore. (At least for now).
We do have a new issue of New Avengers. I want more on the Skrull thing but looks like we have to wait until the "Secret Invasion" story hits. We're in the middle of the symbiote attack and more with the Hood. I'm sure it will still be as good as always. Linked to this is the Punisher War Journal World War Hulk crossover. From the preview, it looks like Frank gets a hold a symbiote himself. First a variation of Cap's costume, now a variation of Venom's. C'mon Frank, just be yourself. Don't give into the peer pressure! Love the zombie cover, though.
And finally, a new issue of Runaways!!! I won't go into how if feels soooo long in between issues. I still love the series. Not sure what it is. And to think I dismissed the comic when it first came out because I thought it was just another teen team book dealing with teen angst and puberty stuff. Just goes to show you what excellent writing can do. This is a way better week for Marvel than last week.
