Comics shipping 7-10-08

Remember, Diamond Comics, the primary distributor of comic books in the United States, has delayed shipments of comic books this week due to the Independence Day holiday.  So, look for new comics this week on Thursday.  That said, it’s a pretty good week of comics, with the launch of Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale’s “Captain America White,” a new issue of Geoff Johns’ “Action Comics” and the latest installment of Marvel’s “Secret Invasion.” Full list and commentary after the break.
