Previews for January ‘09

Posted by: Rich Watson on January 5, 2009 at 1:42 pm

Given how so many comics are either late or get switched around, I’m wondering how valuable this is. I’m actually thinking of discontinuing this feature altogether, or at the very least reformatting it somehow. What do you think? I’d really appreciate some advice because I’m tired of posting this every month and having half the titles on it rescheduled even though I get them directly from Previews.

BOOK(S) OF THE MONTH:
Black Lightning: Year One #1-2 (DC)

bly1-cv1b1
Also notable:
Terror Titans #4. The DCU “debut” of Static. This got pushed up so it’s available now. (See what I mean?)
Thor #600. Co-pencilled by Olivier Coipel.
Velocity #1. A new superhero series. Art by Chriscross.

The list:
Buffy TVS #22, Faces of Evil: Deathstroke. Pencils by Georges Jeanty.

Hi Rich – happy new year! As someone who can’t make it to my local comic book store every week, I am not usually as disappointed as you are about the late release dates. But I do appreciate seeing what’s out there and since I assume that you filter through Previews for the stories that are by or about African Americans – it’s helpful in that way as well. (I does seem like a lot of work though! Maybe you just need a break?)

Happy new year, Claudia. I suppose needing a break is possible, but it’s more frustration over not being able to provide a more accurate listing of what will be available when – especially when it involves books that I want to hype up here. And of course some books aren’t in PREVIEWS at all.
