Mostly the usual stuff for me. Batman Inc. sounds like fun and, as usual, Burnham does a fantastic cover.
A lot of crossovers this month it looks like.
David Lapham is doing art the art for Dial H #6? Oooo.
Legends of the Dark Knight (which I have been getting via Comixology) has been excellent. As was the case with the old series of this name, it has been a continuity-less, eclectic mix of Batman one-shots and two or three part stories. Those who don't like digital will probably find these print issues are like a solid Batman anthology.
Weird War Tales will make a good addition to the Showcase collection of books I don't know when the heck I will get around to reading, but am glad to have.
Gene Ha is doing art on Fables? Cool. Will read that in trade someday.
Great to see Ribic back on Thor. I'm not sure I will do that series in singles, but will give it a try someday.
I am definitely up for a pulpy/sci-fi Remender/JRJR Captain America. Though I have been reading Cap in collected editions for years now, so I will probably wait on that, too.
X-Men Legacy is... a book about Legion? That is the strangest premise since that volume of Excalibur that had Xavier and Magneto hanging out in the ruins of Genosha. (It seemed to be the closest thing the X-books have had to a Beckett play). Still, though, if you are going to have a whole line of X-books, they might as well be distinct from each other. A Legion-centric one is certainly that. But I can't imagine it lasting. (Or even getting many people taking a chance on it with a double-dip first month)
Cool that FF is actually a different group of characters. And a wacky one at that. Though that Miss Thing design... yikes. That looks like something you would do with photoshop. But I guess they are going for that Milligan/Allred X-Force vibe. (A guess)
Deadpool with Moore art against resurrected dead presidents might be the first Deadpool book I ever buy. Especially with what will likely be the DCBS discount on the first issue.
Not to get too hung up on gender and "firsts" (as if this is true, it is probably embarrassing that it took this long, and she probably just wants to be thought of first as a writer rather than as a woman) but I wonder whether Deconnick writing an Avengers book and a Captain America book actually represents the first time a female writer has been on those books, particularly in an ongoing way?
And given that DeConnick, Immonen, and Liu all have comics this month, in the case of DeConnick and Liu, several, there are probably more comics written by women for Marvel then... well, probably ever. (That would likely be a depressing number to crunch).
Old news, as it started last month, but I am very glad Daredevil End of Days is finally seeing print. I think that has been in development for years.
As someone pointed out in another thread, the Iron Man 2 adaptation seems a little late.
Also old news, as it started the prior month, but I am game for a Wolverine MAX series. Wolverine The Best There Is felt like it was going to be a MAX title and they decided to pull back. So I never thought they would go for one and was surprised to see this. Not that MAX means it will be good, but I have like a lot of the MAX product and am game to see how this one is.
Bummer there is no Fury MAX this solicit. I hope that hasn't been silently cancelled, to. (Or maybe it was a mini? I feel like it was first going to be four issues, then got extended, but maybe only by a bit).

Interested to see Damian and Helena meet in Worlds' Finest. Given how well he doesn't get along with Bruce's adopted kids, it'll be fun to watch him interact with another biological child (albeit one from another universe)
Joe Kubert Presents seems kind of sad now, doesn't it? Definitely picking it up in tribute, though.
Bought the digital versions of the Ame-Comi Girls: Batgirl story and liked it enough to consider getting it in print (Sanford Green's artwork was amazing), but don't see why a book that came in 3 digital installments of 99 cents each costs an additional buck for the print version. That HEAVILY discourages double dipping.
Considering Showcase Presents Weird War Tales. Used to love finding those in the cheap bins, which doesn't happen much anymore. Too bad we won't see the Creature Commandos or GI Robot for at least another 2 volumes, though.
Marvel thoughts:
Captain America sounds weird. Remender's a good writer, though, so maybe sci-fi pulp Cap will work?
Fantastic Four and FF both sound cool. And neither is double shipping! Twice the win!
Not usually a Deadpool fan, but I like Brian Posehn, and one of those covers features Zombie Theodore Roosevelt. TR's one of my favorite figures in American history... I may have to check that out.
Avenging Spider-Man co-starring Devil Dinosaur and Moon Boy, written by Cullen Bunn? SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
Weird that they're reprinting the Spaceknights mini-series. The 'knights and the Dire Wraiths must be making a comeback soon. But does anyone want that if it doesn't properly feature Rom?
And if you are a Brubaker/Lark/Phillips fan and you've never read Scene of the Crime (which is fantastic) here is your chance:
SCENE OF THE CRIME DELUXE HC
writer ED BRUBAKER
art /cover MICHAEL LARK & SEAN PHILLIPS
NOVEMBER 14
128 PAGES / FC / OVERDIZED / M
$24.99
From the co-creators of Gotham Central and FATALE comes a lost crime noir masterpiece. Long out of print, and presented here for the first time in an oversized hardback edition, SCENE OF THE CRIME was the first time ED BRUBAKER and MICHAEL LARK worked together – before their acclaimed runs on Daredevil and Gotham Central – and it was inked by SEAN PHILLIPS, who also designed this deluxe edition.
This is where it all began, with a hard-hitting mystery story, a modern day "Chinatown" that garnered nominations for Best Miniseries and Best Writer in the 2000 Eisner Awards. Also included in this new collection are behind the scenes art and stories, a new foreword by BRUBAKER, and many other extras. This is the book you'll want on your shelves.
