Here are the books that caught my eye in Previews Catalogue, for books
shipping to comic shops in September...
Sword of Sorcery #0 - Amethyst returns in a new series this month, thanks to Jem creator Christy Marx, who worked on a bunch of animated shows you probably remember from your childhood like G.I. Joe and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Also contains a Beowulf back-up story by Tony Bedard. Great artists on this issue too: Aaron Lopresti, Matt Ryan and Jesus Saiz.
