Ok so you will notice the November entry is incomplete. I was not able to get to everything, as all the synopses here with one exception were done by me. If you have read Superman #2, Blood Syndicate #1, or Planetary #2-4 and want to do synopsis for any of them, PM me and I will add them. I will try to get to the non-Planetary ones as soon as I can, but as wachter said any and all help form members on this will help keep this feature going more smoothly. It's been a rough month with both Chris and buck having computer issues and wachter needing some time away, so apologies to the writers that aren't represented here yet.

As you can see, the list is incomplete, so I will reiterate watcher's suggestion-if you are reading titles and want to contribute to this, please feel free to do so, just PM your synopsis to buck or I and we will include it in the thread. We would prefer writers not do synopsis of their own series though....
