Just placed my pre-order for April and after cutting my list down to 22 issues this time last year, I'm back up to 45 issues!

I blame Perry. 

No particular reason but somehow it has to be his fault!   Grin

Just placed my order for April. I, surprisingly, am doing very well on dropping titles. Not that I am rubbing it in, Jeff.  Cheesy

It is a lot easier for me being in that local comic club and being able to read a lot of DC, if I want and can find the time, without having to buy them.

Killed - Amazing, GL-Emerald Warriors, Action Comics (Super-Pooper coming back) and fighting the urge to add JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY

(Of course, over the last two months I have added 3 mini's ... which I swore I would avoid ... so sometimes I slip and need another rehab visit)
 Grin

Of course luckily -
1) BRIGHTEST DAY will be over soon because Bendis' MOON KNIGHT will, no-doubt find a spot.
2) It was an off month for SCARLET

Well that lasted about a week.  Angry I not only put Amazing back into my pull, I added JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY. And then completely out of left field, added that damn BATWOMAN title as well. (That one I can blame on Jeff as I had pushed it out of my head until he posted his damn list)
 Cheesy

That's okay, this month was still less than last and next month will be better  Smiley

Yeah, I was excited about that, but then I heard what Bendis is going to do and I am ... not as excited. Still gonna get it and I am stoked because it is one of my favorite characters by one of my favorite writers, but ... and yes, Moon Knight has a hard time holding down a title the way he is, sadly ... but this may be too much of a character change for me to enjoy.

We shall see  Undecided

I added JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY.

You do know it's written by the same person who wrote Generation Hope?

Yeah, but he also wrote four issues of Thor (before Fraction took over) that were some of the best issues I have read all year. Great story with Hela (one of the best Kirby costumes EVER), Tyr and even Mephisto ... used IN THE CORRECT WAY !!!!  Grin His previous 6 issues was pretty good as well, with Doom as the antagonist.
He is one of the reasons I was torn on adding Generation Hope. I was about to add an X-book just because of this writer ... until I found out I didn't like the art nor the writing in that book.
 Cheesy

I am hoping he sucks again, so I can drop another title,  Grin but if this Thor is ANYTHING like his last foray, I can't not add it. Plus he is working with Braithwaite again who, with his great pencil work, can just kill an Asgard story
