Warren Ellis kicks off his run on “Astonishing X-Men,” and Mike Kunkel begins his “Shazam!” run.  Full list and commentary after the break.

AMORY WARS II #2 (OF 5)

ANGEL AFTER THE FALL #10

If you’re going to follow up Joss Whedon, Ellis seems like a reasonable choice.  The original “Astonishing” run will, I think, be remembered as a great one despite the many delays.

I really want to read more comics by Mike Kunkel (“Herobear and the Kid”), so I hope this sells really well. And, you and your kids should all enjoy it.
