PREVIEWS by Diamond and Marvel Comics. Someday it will be interwebs-only but not today.
SCALPED #37 by Jason Aaron and Davide Furno. Okay, few things could top last issue's shocking revelation about Red Crow's royal executioner Shunka, but if anyone can do it it's Jason Aaron. If you're not reading this book you're insane. Highly recommended.

THUNDERBOLTS #143 by Jeff Parker and Miguel Angel Sepulveda. The kids get smacked around real good by the Avengers.
ULTIMATE COMICS AVENGERS 2 #1 by Mark Millar and Leinil Francis Yu. Ultimate Punisher joins the team. Because the book was too wussy before.
VICTORIAN UNDEAD #6 of 6 by Ian Edginton and Davide Fabri. At last, Sherlock Holmes and zombie Moriarty throw down! See who has the most "braaaaiiiiinnnnsss!"
WALKING DEAD #61 by Robert Kirkman and Charles Adlard. The zombie-free, traffic-free DC suburbs are way too good to be true. Highly recommended. Not for kids.
