This week, one of the big, exciting previews (at least for me) is Haunted Mansion! Continuing in the Disney/Marvel partnership this looks to be a very fun book. In the main Marvel universe, quite a few previews are abound including Mockinbird, Guardians of the Galaxy’s new storyline, some deadly tales of Spider-Man, Dr. Strange, and, finally, a new Adam Warlock series! Also in preview are some Age of Apocalypse variant covers, which look quite nifty.
