Comics Weekly

After last week's minuscule output of comics, we've got some good books hitting this week. I'm really looking forward to the Marvel Zombies 3rd series.
Kim's picks
As Pete mentions, it's a very full week. I've recommended a number of these before, so I'll just give them some quick mentions. Fables 76 continues a new direction for the series. Could a new big bad be on the horizon? Green Arrow/Black Canary ended on a bit of a cliffhanger previously, so it will be great to see what happens next. Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane continues to charm, too.
I'm also debating picking up Ender's Game Battle School #1, an adaptation of Orson Scott Card's sci-fi novel. I liked the Ender series to a point, and think the comic format might work well for it. Pasqual Ferry's art looks terrific in previews I've seen. I'd expect a big uproar if it's not up to the approval of diehard fans, though.
