12.21.11 Releases

There are a lot of good books out this week, but I suppose I have the most emotionally riding on Uncanny X-Force #19 (Marvel). Over the course of 2011, it grew to be one of my favorite books, culminating with one of the year’s best single issues in last week’s conclusion to the Dark Angel Saga. I’m hope hope hoping that the transition from Jerome Opena to Robbi Rodriguez will be strong, hopefully shored up by Rick Remender and Dean White staying on the title, along with that awesome cover by Rafael Grampa. Wolverine & The X-Men #3 (Marvel) also comes out, continuing the better (best?) of the recently revamped core X-titles. DC continues a couple of their strongest offerings from The New 52 with Batman #4 (DC) and Wonder Woman #4 (DC) also hitting the shelves. In the indie arena, Michael Kupperman’s Tales Designed to Thrizzle #7 (Fantagraphics) is sure to delight the readers who seek it out. What looks good to you?
