Comics shipping 9-10-08

The biggest releases this week are likely the doubleheader of Stephen King comic books. The third “Dark Tower” series, ”Treachery,” kicks off, as does the comic book adaptation of Stephen King’s “The Stand.”  Fabian Nicieza wraps up his Batgirl story in “Batman Confidential.” And there’s that little thing we’re calling “Secret Invasion.”

Full list and commentary after the break.

DEADPOOL #1 LIEFELD VAR SI

I debate over whether to include the variant covers or not on this shipping list, but in this case I left it in order to point out that I had to correct the spelling of “Liefeld” from “Leifeld.” I realize he’s contentious in some quarters, but come on, he created the character! You should at least spell his name right.

And, here’s the regular cover. Deadpool is back, tying into Secret Invasion, and written by Daniel Way.
