Dish's Stack: Marvel and DC Comics 14/03/2012

 It's amazing how big a difference a couple of light weeks comic-wise and a week off work can make to getting through a stack of comics - I only have four comics left to read and I am 100% up-to-date!  Wowzas!

Again, Venom wasn't out over here, so I am still yet to read the concluding parts to the 'Circle of Four' event, but I am reliably assured that they will be out this week.  Fingers crossed!

The DC website has had a revamp, and it's a little more awkward to work out which comics are out and when than it used to be, but I just about have it sussed!

Some great comics out this week, including Fantastic Four, Journey Into Mystery, The Punisher, Batman and Robin and more!  Read my fore-thoughts after the jump!

I'm in a little bit of a stick this week - the final part of the Venom event is out this week, but I couldn't get the penultimate issue last week as there was some issue with the copies shipped to the U.K.  Apparently I will be able to get both last week's and this week's issues no problem, but it does mean I will have very little to say regarding Venom #14, but that will just give me more to write about next time I guess =)

Five Wednesdays this month means my monthlies have been spread out over an extra week: resulting in the fact that I have nearly caught up with my stack!  A small week this week is slightly disappointing, but does mean I may actually be reading comics the week they come out some time soon!

After a conversation with my good friend Scott, I have decided to ween myself off Marvel and DC Comics in the coming months and support some of the other comic publishers, and do my part to support the industry!  So I'll be doing some research over the coming weeks/months, and then you can expect to see me writing about Image, IDW, Dark Horse, 2000AD etc. comics, rather than exclusively focusing on the 'Big Two'.

But until then, I will carry on my 'mainstream' ways!  This week I take a look at Deadpool; Fantastic Four; Superman and more!  Read on after the jump!

The current format of this column isn't particularly working for me anymore: remembering issues up to, and over, a month old can be quite difficult, especially for the series not really pushing my buttons.  So I'm thinking about giving things a re-jig and see what happens!

This week heralds the beginning of the second year of Marvel's 'Point One' initiative with Amazing Spider-Man #679.1, and another two of my favourite books - Daredevil and Batman - also have new issues to bring this week's quality of books oh-so very high.  Read about these and more after the jump!

There was an Amazing Spider-Man out last week that I completely missed in this column - I suppose that's what I get for relying solely on Comic Book Resources' previews to find out what is out in a given week...

Anyway, I most certainly haven't left anything out this week!  The second part of the month-long Venom event is here, as is Spidey's other spin-off-pal Scarlet Spider, where Kaine gets to grips with being a 'hero', and Deadpool gets an event of its own as well, with 'Dead' starting in this week's issue #50.  Read my fore-thoughts on these comics and more after the jump!

Another pretty small stack for me this week, I really need to branch out a little...  It may be short, but there are some really good comics out this week, including the first part of the Venom mini-event and part two of Action Comics' prelude/side-story which began last month.  Oh yeh, and a little title starting this month called Winter Soldier!  Read on after the jump for my fore-thoughts on these and (a couple) more comics that I am getting this week!

Last week was a pretty big pile o'comics for me, even with Justice League being delayed, so it's with some slight relief that I have an averagely sized stack to buy this week.  There are two Fantastic Four comics out this week, and I'm also going to be jumping into Deadpool with its point one issue leading into an arc that sounds pretty interesting.  Read about my thoughts on these series, and more, after the jump!

Justice League #5 becomes the first title of the New 52 to ship late, as it is going to be delayed until next week.  Marvel more than make up for their competitor's shortfall, as this week I pick up a big fat eight comics from their releases this week ("big fat" relatively speaking of course, a couple of months ago that many Marvel comics in a week was standard for me), including another three(!) Spider-Man comics, Daredevil and the penultimate issue of Ghost Rider!  My lone DC comic this week is Batman!  Read about these and more after the jump.

Dish's Stack - Marvel and DC Comics 11/01/12

Another short stack for me this week, but another still full of tasty comics.  A very exciting week for Spidey fans this one, with the Spider-Man/Daredevil team-up in ASM, and the first spanking issue of new series Scarlet Spider.  These and more after the jump!

Dish's Stack - Marvel and DC Comics 04/01/12

It seems the comic gods really want me to catch up with my stack, as I only have five new comics this week - five!  They are five cracking ones though, including The Punisher; Thunderbolts and my personal favourite of the New 52 - Action Comics.  These and more after the jump!

Dish's Stack - Marvel and DC Comics - 28/12/11

I did not read nearly as many comics as i intended to over the Christmas break, so my stack is growing to quite an intimidating size..  Making it grow even further tomorrow include The Flash #4 and the penultimate issue of the Alpha Flight limited series.  These and more after the jump.

Dish's Stack - Marvel and DC Comics - 21/12/11

After last week's relatively short stack, i get one of a respectable size this week including: Amazing Spider-Man #676, Daredevil #7 and Batman #4.  My thoughts and previews after the jump!

Dish's Stack - Marvel and DC Comics - 14/12/11

A pretty short stack for me this week, but included are Journey into Mystery #632 and Batman and Robin #4.  My thoughts on these and more after the jump!
