There wasn't a lot in the most recent round of solicitations, but Yen Press did list volume 16 of Yotsuba! So really, who needs anything else? Granted, it's not actually out until January, but it got solicited, and that's the important thing.
(Until it becomes available, at which point the important thing becomes my acquiring it.)
What's new? Jesse Lonergan (Hedra) has a new GN out through Bulgilhan Press, called Racer. Which is about, car racing. Not typically my interest, and $20 for 68 pages ain't lighting my world on fire, but I did like Hedra, so, you know, maybe, eventually?
It's DC's turn to do a Batman and Deadpool book. As with Marvel's, maybe I'll buy it a few months later, if I can find a reduced price copy. Gabriel Hardman's writing and drawing a mini-series under the Black Label imprint, Batman/Green Arrow/Question: Arcadia, which is an updated/homage/new take on the crossover between those characters Annuals DC did that one time. It caught my eye, but I've had bad luck with Black Label books. It's probably a "wait for the trade" circumstance.
At Marvel, another month has not made me any more disposed to buy any of those Age of Revelation mini-series. So much for that! However, Marvel does have a new Nova book, Nova: Centurion, written by Jed Mackay, spinning out of the cosmic-themed mini-series Hickman's got coming out/on the way. Alvaro Lopez is listed as artist, and going through my archives, all the listings I could find for him were as an inker (usually for Javier Rodriguez or Marcos Martin.) I don't know how things will go with him being lead artist, but I suppose I'll find out.
What's ending? I still haven't seen a solicit for the 8th and final issue of Dust to Dust. I even double-checked last month's listings on Image's website to make sure I didn't miss it. Which means, nothing.
And the rest: Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu is still helping the Wrecker, while Black Cat finds Felicia in a trap set by some irate criminals. Fantastic Four is finally out of One World Under Doom hell, as Sue finds herself having to help prove the Black Cat isn't guilty of murder. Except the solicit describes Felicia as Sue's "least favorite person in New York." Really? Last I checked, the Kingpin still lives in New York. There are at least a couple of symbiotes walking around, the Wrecker's apparently in town, Frank Castle's apparently alive and on Earth again. Pretty sure Sue should like all those people less than the thief who sometimes fights crime.
On the other hand, Sue married Reed Richards - another awful person in NYC! - so there's solid evidence for her being a poor judge of character.
Batgirl's possibly going to team up - again! - with the League of Assassins against the Unburied, and I really find it suspicious Nyssa didn't die during the ambush on the train. The Unburied had them on the ropes, why let them live? Hector Plasm: Hunt for Bigfoot is on issue 2, and volume 12 of The Boxer was solicited, but I'm still way behind on the book.

I'm 50% interested in finding out why Cat is Sue's least favourite person. Only 50% because I can't imagine the answer will be anything other than dumb and disappointing.
Have they even ever met?
They met briefly during the first volume of Jed MacKay's Black Cat, when Felicia came to their at-that time HQ, ostensibly on a date with Johnny, but really to steal a book from Reed's library. Blastaar came through the Negative Zone portal (as he often does), there was a bomb, Sue showed up in the nick of time to contain it in a forcefield, and did not seem well-pleased there was a notorious thief in her house, judging by the icicles on her speech bubble.
Huh. Well that doesn't seem like enough, but okay.
It doesn't to me either, but I can't remember any other interactions. Even when Felicia's a regular member of Spidey's supporting cast, I don't feel like she's around when he sees the FF. I don't remember her ever stealing anything from them previously.
Maybe it's just "big sister trying to protect idiot younger brother" vibes.
