    Rubbing my crystal balls and gazing soulfully into them I see:

    1) Carl Barks' Duck stuff collected and affordable from Fantagraphics.

    2) A lavish series of 3 volumes detailing the life and work of Alex "grumpy" Toth from iDW.

    3) Dark Horse Presents returns with work from Corben, Chaykin, Miller, Adams et al.

    4) Flex Mentallo by Grant "Number Two" Morrison and Frank "Quite" Quitely collected by DC/Vertigo. Gamble A Stamp!

    You thought 2010 was good, bubba, hang on to your hats because 2011 looks dreamtastic already.

    Anyone else seen any upcoming goodies?

    I spy with my little eye:-

    1) Dark Knight: The Boy Wonder - Frank Miller, Jim Lee and The Goddam Batman are back!

    2) Batwoman - Yeah the story will probably be zzzzzzzzzzzzz but the artwork will be OMG!

    3) Bendis & Maleev’s Moon Knight - If this is even close to as good as their Daredevil run then we are in for a treat.

    4) Will we see Grant Morrison's Multiverse titles? Probably. Will they be awsome? Definitely!

    5) League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Century #2 - Set in the 60's. Groovy.

    Well, I'm up for 1,2,4 and 5 of The Mike Infintum's list.

    Number 1) reminds me that 2011 might just be The Year of Frank Miller! Why, it could even be the Year Frank Miller Upsets Everyone!

    He'll be upsetting all the mainstream genre comics fans with ALL STAR BATMAN AND ROBIN THE BOY WONDER! (or Dark Knight: The Boy Wonder?) Frank Miller broke your Batman!

    He'll be upsetting lovers of historical accuracy with the 300 follow-up XERXES! There were no titty bars in ancient Persia, huh Professor McFacts? There are now!And guns. Lots of guns! Probably.

    He'll be upsetting everyone with a sense of decorum or proportion with HOLY TERROR:BATMAN VS AL QAEDA. So Franktastic that DC won't publish it and he's had to change BATMAN to something else. Just call it HOLY NUTS:FRANKMAN VS AL QAEDA and have done with it!

    Ah, Frank. Striking terror, best part of the job.

    2011's attractions? I've no idea - I just buy everything and hope that something's decent...

    But I'm looking forward to Moon Knight!

    Anyone any thoughts on DC Universe Online for PS3/PC?

    Or on Andrew Garfield's new Spidey suit pics (out there on the worldwide web)?

    I have no thoughts on DC Universe Online for PS3/PC but I hope it works out well for everybody and encourages people to seek out these characters in their original papery forms on a regular basis through legitimate retail channels. But I generally hope that about everything. Even soap.

    Er, Andrew Garfield has huge hair? If he retains his ludicrously full bouffant he's going to look like he's smuggling a bean bag the size of an infant under that spidey mask? He was the worst thing in The Red Riding Trilogy ("This is the North! Where we do what we WANT!") but he was very good in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, so he'll probably be okay. As is usual with comic movies I hope it works out well for everybody and encourages people to seek out these characters in their original papery forms on a regular basis through legitimate retail channels.

    Do you miss 100 Bullets? Do you? You SHOULD!
    <koff!> Sorry, anyway this year (being 2011 A.D.) there will be this:

    SPACEMAN (Vertigo/DC Comics)
    9 issues of 'speculative fiction' by Brian Azzarello (words), Eduardo Risso (shapes) and Trish Mulvihill (colours).

    Set the controls for the heart of The Awesome!!

    Pre-order or be left to suck vacuum, carbon based lifeform!
