This year's summer comiket - think anything good will come?

The summer Comiket is almost upon us, which means that a deluge of new doujin shmups will be coming. Shanghai Alice has their new game, which looks to be like Touhou meets Twinkle Star Sprites. There's also a Touhou clone, and the new Air Rade -might- make it out too. Other stuff will doubtlessly come out too...

I'm guessing that the Shanghai Alice game will be good (no big stretch there), and if Air Rade: Air makes it, that should be excellent as well.

Just a few games which their websites mention they will be there:

Hitoga Hippa
Phantasmagoria of Phantom View (as you mentioned)
Phantasm (Flat)
Suguri
Alternate Age

So, yeah, there are a few things to look forward to, probably the largest being Zun's next game......

Yeah, I forgot about Hitogata Hippa... which looks excellent! Should be a fun year... makes me wish I wasn't leaving Japan just before it happens

Isn't AIRRADE Air supposed to be released at Comiket? And if it is, can someone pick me up a copy?

They cost a pretty penny but http://www.himeya.com will ship doujin games overseas. I used 'em a lot (and will use them again now that I'm going back to the US), and they were always good to me.
