Man, I have no idea what I plan on reading. Hospital down time (when the kid is asleep), while nice is also a time to talk to the wife and get things straight around the house, which we have ignored the last week ... of course. I am kinda reading by individual pull right now. Whatever the mood is at the time that I am given time to read.
 ;D

Been catching up on all the DC stuff, so would like to hit Flash issues 1 and 2 as I still have those to read. Plus as I am not sure I will hit my LCS or see Dave, not sure what I will get to read anyway. Would love to read the I Hate Fairyland issue that hits today and the new Jeff Lemire Black Hammer (like a weird Justice League and it looks awesome), and of course Ultimates #9, but we will see.

Yes, I kinda turned this thread into my Top of the Stack thread. Hahaha, sorry about that.
 :D

Black Hammer #1 - Loved this

That is all so far. Been kind of a rough week  ;D

Hope to catch up on DC by the weekend  :)

Amazing Spider-man 1-5
EDIT #1
Mighty Thor 2 & 3
EDIT #2
Invincible Iron Man #4
EDIT #3
Spider-man 2099 1-5
-Not a fan of the new suit. Rick Leonardi's design was a wonderful, brilliant take on the Spider-man costume. This ugly Under Armour/Nike Oregon Ducks shitty looking junior high design has got to go. I don't like it one bit. And I thought Sliney's art was far better in the other volume! A different inker, perhaps?

Dark Night: A True Batman Story

Okay, only about halfway through this, but read as much as I could in bed before that darn Sandman came in and dusted me.  :D

I'm really enjoying this.

Truly some amazing art. Risso's angles and point of view scenes are perfection ... and I am not a huge Risso fan. He also does the coloring and that ranges from pretty good to impressive. A little too Crayola at times, but it works here and I think that is why he chose to have it look this way. I have a much greater respect for Risso now. This book does look nice.

Dini's writing is personal, but jovial (understandably so) and while I wonder if James Robinson's quasi-introspective AIRBOY title helped this book become a reality, I am grateful for this. If Dini had this idea prior or if he was drawn into doing it ... that doesn't matter. The fact he did this is enough. This is a book worth reading, though I say that having not yet completed the task of reading it all.
 :D
While I wouldn't suggest rushing out to the LCS and paying full price (you have to be in a certain mood for this, I think), this book is only $13 at INSTOCK (http://www.instocktrades.com/TP/DC/DARK-NIGHT-A-TRUE-BATMAN-STORY-HC-(MR)/FEB160250) Go ahead and add it to your cart. Have it be one of the books that gets you to that $50 free shipping.
 :)

Happy to hear this.  I've been meaning to get this and then forgot to look for it when it came out.

I think it hit about two weeks ago, so you didn't forget for too long.

WACKY RACELAND #2 ... just because. Last issue.
SWITCH #4
HILLBILLY #1 - A so-so, paint by numbers tale from GOON guy Eric Powell
