Rumor Mill : September's Essentials

Once again, Amazon.ca has updated its Marvel Comics publication schedule. Here's what you can expect to see in your favorite comics-shop this coming September. Don't forget, the publication of these books is NOT confirmed by Marvel and their descriptions are subject to changes.

ESSENTIAL DOCTOR STRANGE VOL.3
After earning the title of Sorcerer Supreme, Doctor Strange must defend his title, his life and his world against enemies old and new! Dormammu, Silver Dagger, Nightmare, Stygyro and more test Strange's sorcery and sanity! And after a civil war in the Dark Dimension, a summoning of sorcerers, a debacle with Dracula and the apparent annihilation of Earth, can the Master of Mystic Arts stand up to something...Stranger Yet? Guest-starring the Avengers, Blade the Vampire Hunter and Nighthawk of the Defenders! Collects Dr. Strange #1-29, Annual #1 and Tomb of Dracula #44-45.


Not my kind of book, but I'm sure some people will be very glad to see this series continue.


ESSENTIAL PUNISHER VOL.2
Mobsters, terrorists, neo-Nazis, religious fanatics, armored killers, no one's too tough for the Punisher! Follow the trail of blood as Frank Castle's war on crime takes him across the country, south of the border, back to school and Down Under! Plus: The Man With Lots Of Guns vs. the Man Without Fear in a crossover with Daredevil! And who will live and die when the Punisher leads what might be the world's shortest-lived crime-fighting team against the Kingpin of Crime? With Typhoid Mary and a cameo by the X-Men! Collects Punisher #1-20, Annual #1 and Daredevil #257


I love the Punisher but I haven't read much of his past appearances. I should get the first volume of this series, but I find this one more interesting considering it reprints stories from the very late 80's, a period left almost untouched by the Essential line.
