Pick Of My Pile for the weeks of 11-26,12-4 and 12-10

Hello Chums,

I'm back with a few more picks. Check them out.

11/26:


Marvel:

Hulk #8. Jeph Loeb, Arthur Adams and Frank Cho bring us the 2nd part of this 3 part story. The art in these issues is soooo good, I wish this team would continue on forever (or at least 12 issues).


Thor: Reign of Blood #1 and Man of War #1. These books are actually p.1 and p.2 of a two part story. Matt Fraction has written a pretty good story which features Thor battling Odin.


Secret Invasion Inhumans #4 (of 4). The conclusion of Medusa's search for Black Bolt.


True Believers #5 (of 5). The conclusion to the entry of the True Believers into the Marvel
universe.


Captain America #44. A Cap story that ties into a Winter Soldier mission from 1968.

Vertigo:


Jack of Fables #28. Jack becomes the Commander-In- Chief.






The Pick Of My Pile for this week is Secret Invasion Inhumans #4. We get to see Black Bolt whisper a word!


12/4:


Marvel:


Secret Invasion #8 (of 8). The conclusion to the Secret Invasion story line, however it goes directly into Dark Reign.


The New Avengers #47 (Secret Invasion). Where's Luke Cage and Jessica Jones baby?



Secret Invasion Front Line #5 (of 5). The conclusion of writer Ben Urich's street level view of the Secret Invasion.



Marvel Zombies 3 #3 (of 4). Machine Man and Jocasta's mission continues against the Marvel Zombies!


Marvels Eye Of The Camera #1 (of 6). Another street level story. This time featuring Phil Sheldon from the original Marvels.



X-Infernus #1 (0f 4). Peter wants his "little" sister back. Maybe leaving her in hell is a better idea.



Iron Man-The Incredible Hulk-Nick Fury #1 (one-shot?). This Iron Man story ties directly into the Iron Man movie.


The Punisher X-MAS #1 (one-shot). Frank kicking ass in the spirit of Christmas.


ICON:



Criminal Bad Night #4 (of 4). This conclusion is not what I expected. Maybe a little bit of a let down.





Hellboy The Wild Hunt #1 (of 8). It starts off on a mission to kill giants... Who knows where this is going?




The PICK OF MY PILE this week is The Punisher X-MAS. Great story and art in the Christmas spirit.



12/10:


Marvel:



Punisher War Zone #1 (of 6) (Marvel Knights). Garth Ennis. Steve Dillion. Frank Castle. Nuff Said!




Secret Invasion Dark Reign #1 (one shot). Norman Osborn is now in control. Step one: Assemble a new team. Namor, Emma Frost, Dr. Doom, The Hood and Loki. This team can't be built for good.




Astonishing X-Men Ghost Boxes #2 (of 2). Two more parallel earth X-Men stories.



Ythaq The Forsaken World #1 (Soleil). Sixty page sci-fi / fantasy story.




Dark Horse:



B.P.R.D. War on Frogs #2. A team of B.P.R.D. agents search an abandoned boat. Could Frogs be there? This story is one shot like in it's execution.






The Pick Of MY PILE this week is easy. Punisher War Zone #1 sets up for a very entertaining six issue run. And It's weekly! I can't wait.
