This week on The Watchtower, it’s time to weigh in on the biggest thing in the world right now: The iPad.
What will it mean for comics? Is it a good investment? Or another nail in the print comic coffin?
Then, it’s all about The Avengers. There’s a new team in town come this may, being handled by some old pros. Bendis and Romita Jr are unveiling their new (not New) Avengers one by one, but why is there always a Gorilla?
Also, DC has some more bling for your fingers! The next round of ring promos have been announced, and shockingly they will come with books you might actually want! But is it everything it seems?
And of course, there’s The Forecast, Questy’s Rant farm and oh, so much more!!
This is it.
After all the hype, all the speculation, all the pomp and circumstance… we finally get to meet Marvel’s newest character. A Character sure to have a huge impact on the Marvel U and leave us talking for years to come.
Yes, that’s right, I’m talking about Hitman Monkey #1, and it’s on shelves this week.
Check out what else is in stores:
With all the excitement, I almost forgot to post this week’s Checklist!
It’s a decent week with the arrival (we hope) of Siege #2, and Ultimate X #1. Remember, there was a bit of an issue with an overturned truck, so be sure and check with your shop as to the status of your books!
Check out what else is in stores this week: (PS, there was no excitement. I just forgot)

I just got an urgent message from Marvel Comics and Diamond. This is going to affect a lot of comic fans, so please take a moment and read it over:

As a result, orders for several Marvel titles that were scheduled to arrive on February 3 will not be filled in full.
The situation affects three groups of titles.

This week on The Watchtower, there’s only one thing to talk about: Kevin Smith.
Sure, we get to the biggest books of last week and the ones you should be looking out for in the Forecast. But the big deal this week is our exclusive interview with writer/director Kevin Smith.
The mind behind films like Clerks and the forthcoming Cop Out with Bruce Willis, Smith has also delved into the comic world writing Green Arrow, Daredevil, and most recently Batman.
We talk comics, movies, and the upcoming release of Smiths never-made Green Hornet story! Plus so much more (he’s kinda chatty). So be on the lookout next week for the complete, unedited version. A web exclusive!
But for now, strap in, ’cause the ride’s just starting!!
