New Feature Debuting in October

This October Cee Diddy Holla will be starting a new feature called "There Can Only Be One". Here's how it's going to work and you can all feel free to play along.

Starting in October I will be buy 6 comic books that I don't currently buy. These 6 books will be the contestants in "There Can Only Be One." Every month one book will be eliminated until there is only one. The winner gets to be a new book I buy on a monthly basis.

This month I will be figuring out what books will be a part of the "Sexy Six". If you have suggestions please post them. For a book to qualify it has to meet certain standards.

- Each book has be to monthly, no Bi-Monthly books.

That's it actually. Little by little I will be listing possible books that could be a part of "There Can Only Be One."

Thunderbolts # 105 - Civil War tie-in, kinda boring.

Ultimates Annual # 2 - Crap, just skip it.

Batman # 655 & 656 - Must have books!

Wonder Woman # 2 - Totally worth the wait.

News You Already Know

Toronto Edition

The Toronto Comic Book Expo took place over the weekend and both Marvel and DC broke some big news so grab yourself a place of Canadian Bacon and dig in eh.

* Alpha Flight is being reborn as Omega Flight. Micheal Avon Oeming will be writing with Scott Kolins on art. This isn't the first time they've worked together. The team previously worked together on Thor: Blood Oath. On Newsrama.com they have a teaser art picture up but I think it's a bait and switch. Fans are already speculating that the two charcters that would look to be Thor and Captain America are actually US Agent and Beta Ray Bill. I would say there's a very good chance that the Beta Ray Bill call is right now. Not so sure about the US Agent one. Either way its a cool pic and you should check it out. Omega Flight

* Bendis teased that Ultimates 2 will have a shocking ending. To me this translates that someone important is going to die. My money is on Hank Pym to bite the dust for being a traitor.

* Hulk returning during Civil War? It's just another tease from Bendis but I"m not buying this one. I think Hulk is gonna be off in space for well over a year.

* Speaking of Hulk, still no word on when the next issue of Ultimate Hulk vs Ultimate Wolverine.

* Speaking on Ultimate Hulk vs Ultimate Wolverine, artist Leinil Francis Yu will be the artist on New Avengers.

* No news was good news in the case of Ultimate Spider-Man. John Romita WASN'T named the new artist.

* Astonishing X-Men is expected to go through issue #24, but without Joss Whedon and John Cassaday.

* DC announced All Star Batgirl for 2007. Geoff Johns and JG Jones will be the creative team. For more deatils check out the interview with Geoff Johns on Newsrama.com. CLICK HERE
