Quick observations:

Bad news: No Tom King on Batman.

Good News: No Bendis tainted Legion of Super Heroes (I keep hearing rumors).

ETA: and here’s why King is AWOL

Boy there are a lot of Omnibus and Absolute editions from DC this month.

Bumping as a few more big ones are now out.

Marvel
ZIGGY PIG - SILLY SEAL COMICS #1
Once they were superstars of the Funny Animal Comedy circuit!
• Now money and fame have ruined their friendship.
• Will it ruin their lives?
Didn't DC just do this exact idea last year with Ruff and Reddy?

HULKVERINES #1 (of 3) - this sounds stupid. But Greg Pak is probably the best hulk writer ever (sorry PAD). He made Skaar Son of the Hulk awesome. I'm pretty sure that this will be great.

Bryan

Intrigued by Zdarsky on Daredevil.

Didn't Neil Simon do this exact idea in 1972 with The Sunshine Boys? :-?

Not sure what Neil Simon play Hulkverines is based on though.

Last of the Red Hot Lovers. I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere, anyway.

Pretty sure that I'm bailing on my first Sandman Universe book - House of Whispers just isn't cutting it for me.

My order just went from reasonable to more expensive. Thanks @Torchsong. I was looking over your manga suggestions and ended up adding all the bolded ones.

@Torchsong Have you read any of the Golden Kamuy? I enjoyed volume 1, but I haven't read past it.

I haven't. I can personally vouch for Kino's Journey, though. It's an absolutely amazing story.
