  THIS WEEKS HIGHLIGHTS
It's Not Ebola...!
COMICBOOKMAN SEZ: After 21 consecutive weeks of the newsletter I missed last week's edition almost entirely due to a head cold I felt coming on all day last Wednesday, and by Thursday began kicking my butt right up to this Wednesday. That's right, I get sick and everything falls apart. Feeling better now and so here we are back in the saddle. Starting this edition I'm adding a few features which regular readers will catch. Hope they are informational. That's about it, still not 100% and there's plenty to digest below.

Starting this week there are two TOP 5 charts below, the 110514 list and the 111214 list. Since I compare the current week to the previous week, I'll start posting up both charts from now on for easier reference. That said - this week again saw DC and Marvel in 2nd and 3rd Place respectively with 1st Place again being taken by an Indy. IDW (which shipped ZERO titles last week) takes the top spot with thirty five titles, one more than Image's 1st Place showing last week. While DC noses out Marvel by one title this week, the House of Ideas books will cost you considerably more than the New 52's. Image drops to 4th Place this week with twenty titles and Dynamite drops to 5th Place with sixteen titles. Indies are up two  from last week but overall the Indy Pack costs a bit less than on 11/5. There are five more new Indy comics this week but they bring only a ten dollar increase.

Starting this week we'll also be adding the chart below. It shows this weeks comics broken down by price point. Of the 164 New Comics that shipped this week there are seven price points ranging from $1.00 to $7.99 with the largest concentration of books falling into the $3.99 price point. How much are new comics today? Looks like the average price is $3.99. Remember you save 15% OFF of all this weeks New Comics all week long at Alternate Reality!

THIS WEEK'S HIGHLIGHTS: You might as well call this CAPTAIN AMERICA WEEK for all the attention Marvel is giving to their almost oldest creation. Our Book of the Week is ALL NEW CAPTAIN AMERICA #1 and begins Sam Wilson's run as the Star Spangled Avenger. Speaking of Avengers, CAPTAIN AMERICA AND MIGHTY AVENGERS #1 also begins this week placing Cap at the head of the "rainbow coalition" version of the team. Also this week, look for BUCKY BARNES WINTER SOLDIER #2 and CAPTAIN AMERICA #25 2ND PRINT - part of this week's Captain AmeriCorps. Lost in the shuffle is Cap's Tales of Suspense partner as SUPERIOR IRON MAN #1 revamps both Tony Stark's personality and his armor. Over at DC their Lego month continues as four variants ship out this week. DC's Vertigo brings us KITCHEN #1, a gangster mini-series set in 1970's Hell's Kitchen featuring some very bad girls. Image's new release this week is DRIFTER #1, a sci-fi ongoing series joining the dark revenge themes of Unforgiven with the mind-bending sci-fi universe-building of Dune. Dynamite has a couple of gems worth a look, chief among them being the mini-series DJANGO ZORRO #1. Quentin Tarantino and Matt Wagner write this sequel to the film which has Quentin's bounty hunter meeting up with "the fox" himself...Zorro! Staying in the Old West is Zorro's contemporary in LONE RANGER VINDICATED #1 which has the masked man and his faithful companion fighting a vicious gang in Red Mesa Arizona. Around the Indy Pit, BOOM! offers up DEEP STATE #1 which will be a dream come true for conspiracy theory buffs drawing together UFO's, the Dallas grassy knoll, the Jonestown Massacre and other events into one true tapestry of paranoia. Dark Horse asks if you are into near-death experiences, because if you are, you might just be featured in RESURRECTIONISTS #1. Staying with the Horse, they take us back to the Drive-In this week in GRINDHOUSE DRIVE IN BLEED OUT #1 which is back from the dead, and it's meaner, badder, and dirtier than ever!
