This Week's Releases: October 25, 2006

Let this stand as an official "I'm Back" post.

Much backlog will be cleared in the coming days, including a full catch-up on the vainglorious 52 on 52. I'll also be getting up to speed on a new blogging project.

In a statement of hope, I went to 2005 Will Eisner Spirit of Comics Retailer Award Winning Night Flight Comics last week to spend some store credit and try to catch up on what I've missed. That hope was rewarded: as of yesterday, my employment situation looks sorted - though there is still some slight finger-crossing involved.

Finger-crossing notwithstanding, I simply can't deny a New Comics Day that features a new Planetary and the conclusion to Seven Soldiers. I'm trying to think of a better New Comics Day, but my mind is failing me. Others will be a-twitter about the debut of the Johns/Donner/Kubert Action Comics and the beginning of the end of Nextwave ... and I would not blame them.
