Most read NewsFlash was the Batman/Superman rumored spoilers!




February
Expect more new series to debut from Marvel Now comics: Loki, Ms. Marvel, Punisher, Wolverine, Fantastic Four, She-Hulk, and a Winter Soldier mini-series.

After such a Batman-heavy month, hopefully we won't see as much of the Dark Knight outside of the Weekly Pick-Ups. For DC, we'll continue to see how things play out for Forever Evil and the relaed crossover series.

Lots of themed posts that Deanpool hopes to put out this month. February has Valentine's Day, President's Day, Black History month, NBA All-Star weekend, and SuperBowl (even though it already passed).
-Valentine's = Favorite Comic Couples
-Black History month = Spotlights on African-American heroes (Cyborg, Black Panther, Storm, Black Lightning)
-President's Day = review of the first Deadpool arc from the Marvel Now series.

The second half of Walking Dead Season 4 returns February 9. Deanpool hopes to catch up on all his Walking Dead issues and get a review out by this date.

That sounds like it for the most part. Deanpool is going to try to dial it back a bit this month. But we'll see how that goes. Looking forward to another month of blogging for M. Deanpool's Comic-Cave!

Deanpool has grown fond of these Samnee variants.
