Comics shipping 5-29-08

Just a reminder – due to the Memorial Day holiday, comics ship on Thursday this week.  If you go looking for “Final Crisis” on Wednesday, it’s not going to be there. 

That said, what a beefy week of comics.  The much-anticipated “Final Crisis” #1, of course.  The original Toyman returns in “Action Comics” #865.  The second part of Grant Morrison’s “Batman RIP” ships.

Marvel’s not being left out of the party, either, as the grand finale to Joss Whedon and John Cassaday’s “Astonishing X-Men” hits this week, in “Giant-Size Astonishing X-Men” #1.  Mark Millar goes Marty McFly in taking us back to “1985.”

On the indy front, Dave “Cerebus” Sim releases his Holocaust-themed “Judenhass.”  

Full list and commentary after the break.

ACTION COMICS #865
I’m loving the Kevin Maguire covers, and “Action Comics” has been outstanding since Johns took over.

ALL STAR SUPERMAN #11

Good time to be a Superman fan — “All-Star Superman” is also an amazing take on the Man of Steel.  The penultimate issue, and I have to say, I think the 12 issues of “All-Star Superman” will be one of those runs people will still be reading 10 years from now. (No, not because the last issue will be that late.)

ANGEL REVELATIONS #1 (OF 5)

By the creative team of Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Adam Pollina.  This is a Warren Worthington series, not Liam/Angelus.
