Nothing really jumping at me in Image's solicitations (though that Walking Dead cover has me a little worried). It appears that Chew, Invincible and Turf are taking the month off. Nothing new really jumps out either. So November will be a slow Image month for me.

The December 2010 solicitations are out from the various companies right now. What has really jumped out at me from all the various companies is Dark Horse's continued reluanch of the Gold Key series will now include one that has never been relaunched: Otto Binder's Mighty Samson. Binder created this after his legendary Legion/Superman run at DC Comics and it's premise is just really groovy.
Jim Shooter is reviving the franchise with the awesome Pat Ollife, who is best known for his incredible Untold Tales of Spider-Man run, as well as recent work on Spider-Man, Booster Gold and 52.

It's sad (to me at least) that the Bat-titles have now become akin to the X-titles in there are so many I don't care about and will never even bother to try.
Something else I noticed in Marvel's solicits: are Black Widow and Hawkeye & Mockingbird both on hiatus in December for that crossover comic? Are they cancelled?

Another question: is Warriors Three an ongoing series? I assumed it was a mini. Considering they rank among my favorite supporting characters in all of fiction, I'll be getting either way.

Their sales were in the toilet, and I believe "Widowmaker" was first announced as a crossover between the ongoings rather than a mini.
I'd be shocked if either resumed.

Image's "Who is Jake Ellis?" looks pretty awesome! I'll definitely be getting that in January. The premise is really cool, and I really dug Tonci Zonjic's artwork on Heralds.
Image has several really great solicits for January 2011 for both new series & miniseries and OGN's. "Infinite Vacation" by Nick Spencer (Morning Glories, upcoming THUNDER Agents) looks groovy, as does the OGN "Term Life".
Plus, Haunt is $1.99 for the start of a new story-arc--this is the comic with the guts to print a letter from the legendary Cobalt Kid!

There's also a trade coming out for Fish Police, which looks kind of funny and weird. Has anyone read that series? It was also a (quickly cancelled) cartoon.

Hard pass on the majority of them on the sheer fact that there are 14 tie-in miniseries.

14 books in Flashpoint, and *one* of them is about a Flash? ('Kid Flash Lost')
So, uh, are Barry, Wally, Bart, Jay or Jenni going to be involved at all in the big 'Flash' event? 'Cause I sure didn't see anything about XS or the JSA...
Not that I'm the target audience. I'd *much* rather read a Max Mercury mini-series than one about a character who died 25 years ago in Crisis, and whom I miss less than Kole.
OTOH, I might take a look at Citizen Cold. I would love to see an Earth-3 (Crime Syndicate, evil JLA universe) version of the Flash's Rogue's Gallery, underground vigilante freedom fighters, allied against the vicious evil Flash of their world... Captain Cold has recently been portrayed as 'less nasty' than most villains, with a sort of code. He'd be the one most likely to be a viable hero (or, at least, anti-hero / vigilante sort).

Those 14 are only the tie-in mini-series, not the main event itself, I'd assume!

This sounds like major douchebaggery on the part of DC... I realize that after Blackest Night, they want to make a practice of having multiple mini-series "further" the main story, but really... 14 mini-series not counting the main series and some "mystery" series? It's like a parody or something you'd read in "The Onion"...
