Newsletter ending 12-17-2013

This is the last newsletter of this (gregorian) calendar year, so we on the mod team would like to wish you all a very Happy and felicitous New Year! Also happy holidays if you celebrate anything this time of year. It’s been a joy to be here this year and we look forward to the next.

News
Beware of spoilers!
Tomorrow’s comic releases includes Uncanny Avengers #15, with a beat-up Cap on the cover. The blurps don’t mention him, though, so we’ll see what happens… *ominous silence*
November sales figures gives Marvel a lead in market share, but 4/5 top selling titles are DC. If I were to give a guess at why, it’s the usual: Marvel does well-integrated titles, DC have a few big headlines that always pull their weight. What do you think?
Newsarama has a list of Ten Things we learned from Marvel’s March solicitations - including new #1’s (in a seeming never-ending spree of renumbering), including Iron Patriot, Secret Avengers and Avengers Undercover. In a new attempt to see how many avenger titles it’s possible to print at once, Guardians of the Galaxy has the subtitle Cosmic Avengers. Perhaps more to people’s genuine excitement, there’s a MCU tie-in for Winter Soldier announced as well.
Comicbooknews has a review of Captain America #14 in case yo want to know what happened without actually reading ;)
There’s also a preview of Avengers World #2 (out in January).

Community News
The deadline for turning in your holiday exchange gifts was yesterday - and we have most of you! A few have extensions, so no worries you guys :) Remember we’ll be posting everything anonymously using our handy fest journal, so track those entries if you want to keep track of comments to your stuff.
