Coming up in October

Man, the months are flying by.

DC and Marvel posted their solicitations for October this week. We’ll be looking at the end of the year before you know it.

“Civil War” and all its tie-ins continue to dominate over at Marvel. There’s also the return of Spider-Girl in her new title, “The Amazing Spider-Girl,” the first issue of a five-issue Dr. Strange miniseries written by Brian K. Vaughan and the first issue of “The Irredeemable Ant-Man.” Don’t look for a serious slant on superheroes in that last one.

New launches at DC include the first issues of “Tales of the Unexpected” and “The Omega Men. There’s also the return of “The Authority” in a new series written by Grant Morrison. And just in time for Halloween, Freddy Krueger returns in the new “A Nightmare on Elm Street” series.
