Exciting Comics Coming Out Tomorrow (Jan 23rd Edition)

Another small week, but at least there's the following to look forward to:

Civil War: The Return - This is a one-shot Civil War tie-in about which very little is known except that there are two stories, one involving the Sentry (a Marvel hero) and the other chronicling the return of some big Marvel hero who's been away for awhile. Speculation initially was that it would be Thor, as he's been missing for many months. The cover hasn't yet been revealed - presumably it gives the second story's mystery away - but a nearly-all-white version was presented by Marvel not too long ago, within which you could just barely make out the emblem of Captain Mar-Vell, a hero who died (of cancer, of all things!) 25 years ago in the first ever Marvel Graphic Novel. So could it be Captain Marvel returning from the dead? Or Thor? Or someone else entirely? We'll know tomorrow.

Dr Strange: The Oath # 4 - The penultimate issue of this mini-series is due out tomorrow, and I'm still enjoying it every bit as much as when I first blogged about the debut issue, a mere fortnight after venturing into the blogosphere! Each successive issue has provided a twist or two, as well as further developing the characters of Stephen Strange, Master of the Mystic Arts, and his faithful servant, Wong. And remember: Strange author Brian K. Vaughn, is joining the writing staff of Lost, which should only make the show even better!
