The solicitations for (mostly) December were pretty much a continuation of the things I'm already buying or, more frequently, ignoring. The mini-series for Age of Revelation are wrapping up, though I thought I read Marvel was extending it to February. DC is in the midst of whatever DC K.O. is supposed (Countdown Arena, minus the Countdown to Final Crisis stench?) And there just wasn't much from any other publishers out there that made me stop and take notice.
What's new? Ryan North and Vincenzo Carratu are working on Hulk Smash Everything, a 5-issue mini-series investigating if Hulk really is the strongest there is. As the solicitation questions whether Hulk is stronger than gravity, or planets, I suspect North will not be approaching this in an entirely serious manner.
Dark Horse listed their books coming out in January, but what the heck. Touched by a Demon is by Henchgirl creator Kristen Gudsnuk, about a demon who sets up a business helping mortals in the hopes of earning enough goodwill to make it back into Heaven. I did enjoy Henchgirl, even if it's mildly terrifying to realize that was a decade ago.
What's ending? Hector Plasm: Hunt for Bigfoot is wrapping up. Still no sign of the last issue of Dust to Dust.
And the rest: Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu promises things are about to take a downturn for Marc Spector. Is it that time already? Seems like just yesterday he was being blown up. Fantastic Four is dealing with aliens who want to stop Earth's rotation to make the planet more habitable for themselves.
Black Cat's hero thing is apparently not going well, so there's going to be a red-haired guest star. It's worded in such a way I think we're meant to assume they mean Mary Jane, so I expect it's some other redhead. Fingers crossed for Arcade! Nova's going to tangle with Ravenous, who I haven't seen since Richard's brother saved him from the Shi'ar during War of Kings. I guess nobody felt like he was worth killing, until now.
Batgirl is going to try and destroy the blue flowers that give the Unburied their powers, which I feel like was what Shiva advocated 7 issues ago? We're just getting around to this now? I don't think I would mind the circuitous path if I had a better sense of where Brombal was going.
