Comics shipping, 2-11-09

Three big releases this week, from the three biggest publishers.  DC releases Batman #686, written by Neil Gaiman; Image celebrates the 75th issue of “The Darkness,” and Marvel celebrates the 600th issue of “Thor.” Humorously enough, both “The Darkness” and “Thor” shifted from lower-numbered issues to celebrate the anniversary issues. But that’s OK with me, I like the higher numbers better.

Full list and commentary after the break.  List provided by Previewsworld.com.
