Wednesday Comics on Thursday - November 11, 2010

Lots of comics this week so this is going to be a bit longer than usual. I clearly like comics based on books or, in one case below, TV shows. My favorite cover this week is the one for Jurrasic Park. I have a fondness for Velociraptors.

DC Comics

Doc Savage, #8

Doc's Middle-Eastern adventure continues with a heart-to-heart with the Two Who Are One beside a burning lake of oil… and the revelation of a threat far greater than any weapon of mass destruction!
