Recent Releases: September to December 2008

I'll eventually archive some of these older releases when I get a chance to update the Comics Bibliography page (now woefully out of date). In the meantime, I'll keep this listing posted as it's an interesting snapshot of the release schedule for the Christmas period of 2008. It might be worth revisiting in a few months time to see how 2009 stacks up against it.
