Comics - Summer '09 releases

[Hex_Enduction_Hour]

I used to have a comics thread, but I can't locate it here. Must've been pruned.
Most of you guys are talking game systems. Haha, I feel so antiquated. But oh well, my other hobby besides Heroscape is comics. And what a doozy of releases are expected these last 2 months:

DC's Showcase Presents series gets better and better. Big thick, phonebook-sized b&w reprints (like Marvel's Essential series) of classic DC series (technically early Shazam doesn't fall in this category).
Here's what's coming up this holiday season:

Phantom Stranger, Unknown Soldier and C.C. Beck's Shazam!!

In December from Marvel,
Essential Defenders 2 & Cap volume 3!


Also in December, Drumroll please, ...................
Blade of the Immortal vol 16!!! Gorgeous artwork, sleek storytelling. Ah, can't wait for this latest chapter!
Some cool panels (but lame music) in this slideshow:
Blade of the Immortal
The amazing ladies of BotI




Wow, what a great way to end a fantastic year!!
Any comic fans expecting any TPB releases this fall/winter?
