I didn't realize Hickman was an artist as well (as he's solicited to be for Pax Romana) as a writer. I wonder if he's good?
A lot of popular writers today started off as writer/artists (or just artists). Many of these people never realize ever even drew! Some that come to mind are Bendis, Brubaker and Willingham.
(I refuse to include Matt Wagner on this list as his artistic body of work is reknowned!)

Looking at IDW's Oct 2010 Solicits, I'm excited beyond words to see the new Darwyn Cooke adapation of the Parker novels on the schedule! That's a must-buy, must-read immediately.
Two things I noticed that made me curious: (A) has anyone tried Locke & Key? It gets rave reviews and (B) I guess their reprinting the Topps Jurassic Park mini from 1993 with art by Gil Kane and George Perez--sounds groovy, and I never realized it existed. Probably not something I'll buy but I wonder if anyone else ever did?
If you're looking for a cool new comc book title, Blacula, try Mystery Society by IDW! It's really great! (And there's a thread on it here at LW).
From the Dark Horse Oct 2010 Solicits, I'm thrilled to see another Hellboy one-shot (as they have been awesome), this time teaming him up with Evan Dorkin and Jill Thompson's Beasts of Burden, which I haven't checked out yet but now will.
And of course, I'm thrilled to see Turok return in Turok: Son of Stone, the original title he had back in the 50's.

Geoff Johns started off as an artist too.
I've never seen Hickman's art so I'm curious too! I know he's really talented at designing labels and logos and such; he's been used by other series to design their logos over the years. He's very big in symbols, layouts, structuring the page and such. I read a groovy interview with him a few months back but can't remember where it was (online).

Think that's bad? FABLES #100 is down for $9.99... Add to that the fact that #99 is ALSO in the solicits...
No way. I refuse to believe it. I refuse to believe a single issue comic book costs more than...lunch?...a movie?...a night out at Huskies? (that reference for Pov only ).

Proof positive that Marvel still has a sense of humor:
AVENGERS VS. PET AVENGERS #1 (of 4) Written by CHRIS ELIOPOULOS Pencils & Cover by IG GUARA Basic Truth: It’s very hard to protect the earth when you’ve been turned into a frog. The Pet Avengers Return! Good thing, too, cuz dragons have decided that it’s time to take over the world and oppress the silly humans once and for all!!! And since Captain America, Iron Man & Thor are all green and hopping about, here’s hoping they can get used to their new flippers in time to fight alongside Earth’s Mightiest Pets!
C'mon DC. No Legion vs. Super-Pets miniseries? You could even have Batman guest-star with Ace. The gauntlet has been thrown.

I also see comics geniuses David Lapham and Kyle Baker have teamed up for a DeadpoolMax miniseries. I love both creators quite a bit and have always been impressed by them--but Deadpool isn't exactly my favorite. Probably an impulse decision in the store, but Lapham and Baker will probably get me to at least buy the first issue.

Marvel: The original Alpha Flight is reunited in a spin-off from CHAOS WAR (which is one event I'm actually looking forward to). Also, a dead Avengers book spinning off from the same event.
