Previews HYPE: December '12
Here are the books from Previews Catalogue that caught my attention, for titles shipping to comic shops in December...
The Freddie Stories HC - Part of Drawn & Quarterly's project to collect the works of Lynda Barry, these are the Freddie stories from Ernie Pook's Comeek.
Avengers #1 - Avengers begins anew with Jonathan Hickman at the helm, and Jerome Opena on art. If Hickman's Fantastic Four is any indication, we're in for quite a ride.
Mara #1 - Brian Wood begins a new tale here, about a celebrity with supernatural powers from a future obsessed with sports and war.
Guardians of the Galaxy: Tomorrow's Avengers (Volume 1) TP - The inevitable reprinting of Guardians of the Galaxy begins, featuring the clasic characters that probably won't be seen in the movie anyway, but kicked off the franchise: Vance Astro, Yondu, Martinex and Charlie-27.
Hellboy In Hell #1 - Mike Mignola returns to his creation to draw a new story, kicking off an ongoing adventure.
Fantagraphics Reprints - Fantagraphics continues reprinting classic comics in December, releasing some notable new volumes including Pogo (Volume 2): Bona Fide Balderdash HC, Nancy Likes Christmas: Complete Dailies 1946-1948, and another EC Comics reprint, "Taint the Meat...It's the Humanity!" and Other Stories, collecting all of Jack Davis' EC work on Tales From the Crypt.
Sleeper Omnibus HC - The entire fan-favorite series by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips is collected in a new omnibus edition.

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Comic Tribute TP - In this anthology, the world of Evangelion is twisted by creators in a one-of-a-king tribute collection. Featuring the minds behind books like Loveless, Sgt. Frog and Portus.
Cable and X-Force #1 - Who knew that one day we would have two ongoing X-Force books? Thanks to Rick Remender's incredible run, there's apparently enough demand to do just that, this one being a more traditional X-Force book, complete with Cable.
