Comics shipping 2-04-09

Obviously, the big reason to get excited today is the release of the long-awaited Scott Pilgrim Vol. 5.  Jeff Parker’s “Agents of Atlas” kicks off from Marvel, as does “Secret Warriors” by writers Brian Michael Bendis and Jonathan Hickman.   The slow-in-coming but pretty great “Final Crisis: Legion of Three Worlds” No. 3 also ships. Full list and commentary after the break.  List from Previewsworld.com.
