[parkmania]

OK, I'm sorry if these have been covered in other threads, but it's the first I'd heard of any of these. They should all be in stores by Christmas, since they are in my comic book store's December catalog and all have the note that "This item may be available through other retail outlets before shipping to comic book specialty shops."

Here are the books with their printed descriptions:
