Damnit. Ya got me thinking about too much Decided to have a first run through, sans order form ... BATMAN #24 SUPERMAN UNCHAINED #4 F4 #13 FF #13 (Ordered 4-12 a couple days ago, and got 1-3 off Ebay) THOR GOD of THUNDER #14 THOR CROWN of FOOLS (maybe) BLOODSHOT and H.A.R.D. CORPS #15 HARBINGER #17 LAZARUS Vol1 TPB I think that is what my order will end up being. Of course I may throw a special title or two in as they do temp me sometimes. Like last months GUARDING THE GLOBE #4 for only 70’ I mean what the hell? Why not. Or, as normal people would say ... "they tempt me sometimes"

MORNING GLORIES 33 WALKING DEAD CVR A 115 WALKING DEAD TYREESE SPECIAL CABLE AND X-FORCE 15 FANTOMEX MAX 1 Another Maybe. KICK-ASS 3 5 THOR GOD OF THUNDER 14 "INFINITY" GUARDIANS OF GALAXY 8 INFINITY 4 INFINITY 5 NEW AVENGERS 11 NOVA 9 "BATTLE OFTHE ATOM" ALL NEW X-MEN 17 UNCANNY X-MEN 13 WOLVERINE AND X-MEN 37 X-MEN 6 X-MEN BATTLE OF ATOM 2 HARBINGER REG KITSON 17 X-O MANOWAR REG CRAIN 18

If I could go back in time and like tell 11 year old me that like not only do you get to go to Comic Con but you go every year. So much so that you get greeted by Stan Lee when you show up. And 11 year old me would be like - How did we get so fat?- Kevin Smith

Ouch. BATMAN #24 is $6.99 (or $4.19 for us DCBS'ers), That better not be just 20 pages of story and then 2 reprint issues from 1968 or something. And WTF Marvel? You solicit this? - INDESTRUCTIBLE HULK SPECIAL #1 Written, Drawn and Covers by ... wait for it .... TO BE DECIDED ?? EDIT - I see WALKING DEAD has about 10 different covers this month.

Very proud of myself. For now. I was able to avoid adding about 5 more titles to my pull this month. Like that new JUSTICE LEAGUE 3000 by Keith Giffen, J. M. DeMatteis and Kevin Maguire. Really wanted to add that. Also that new series from Brubaker and Epting VELVET. Staying strong. My order ... PRVIEWS (So I can more easily spot HC's I want) BATMAN #24 SUPERMAN UNCHAINED #4 F4 #13
FF #13 THOR GOD of THUNDER #14 BLOODSHOT and H.A.R.D. CORPS #15 HARBINGER #17 LAZARUS Vol1 TPB Next month gonna try and cut another title or two. It's getting harder and harder every month. Dropping titles I already get is one thing, but avoiding new titles I really want to try, is really F'n hard. But I know the end result, buying only HC's and the occasional trade, will make me very happy ... if I can get there.

Ok - here's what I actually ordered. I don't know whether to curse Perry or thank him. I missed Velvet and Justice League 3000 on my first pass and likely would have skipped them if he hadn't pointed out the creative teams. Decided against Fantomex MAX and the Damian Batman mini series. DC ComicsBATMAN #24 I love how DCBS had a big message saying "NOTE PRICE" on this one. FOREVER EVIL #2 (OF 7) JUSTICE LEAGUE 3000 #1 - I'll blame Perry if I hate it.....and if I love it too. ImageFATALE #19 (MR) JUPITERS LEGACY #4 - BUY THIS BOOK!!! I really like it. MORNING GLORIES #33 (MR) MORNING GLORIES #34 (MR) SIDEKICK #3 (MR) - I'm hoping this is good. J Michael Straczynski had typically done well with his original creations. VELVET #1 (MR) - I'll blame Perry if I hate it.....and if I love it too. WALKING DEAD #115 CVR A (MR) WALKING DEAD TYREESE SPECIAL (MR) MarvelCABLE AND X-FORCE #15 KICK-ASS 3 #5 (OF 8 ) (MR) THOR GOD OF THUNDER #14 "INFINITY" GUARDIANS OF GALAXY #8 INF INFINITY #4 (OF 6) INFINITY #5 (OF 6) NEW AVENGERS #11 INF NOVA #9 INF "BATTLE OF THE ATOM" ALL NEW X-MEN #17 UNCANNY X-MEN #13 WOLVERINE AND X-MEN #37 X-MEN #6 X-MEN BATTLE OF ATOM #2 (OF 2) ValiantHARBINGER (VU) #17 X-O MANOWAR (VU) #18 REG CRAIN

I don't know whether to curse Perry or thank him. A little of both probably. Decided against Fantomex MAX and the Damian Batman mini series. Both were also hard for me to ignore. Really interested in Fantomex as a character, although I don't know why ... maybe just the look? And was also intrigued to see what Kubert could do, script wise BATMAN #24 I love how DCBS had a big message saying "NOTE PRICE" on this one. Yeah, still shocked at that price point JUPITERS LEGACY #4 - BUY THIS BOOK!!! I really like it.
Oh yeah, on it. In trade (But I shall wait for HC first) SIDEKICK #3 (MR) - I'm hoping this is good. J Michael Straczynski had typically done well with his original creations.
Did you miss his 10 GRAND that premiered from IMAGE a couple months ago? I read it. I liked the first two issues. But it has art by Ben Templesmith which I like and it fits the tone perfectly, but a lot of people don't enjoy his art, which could be why you skipped it.

JUSTICE LEAGUE 3000 #1 - I'll blame Perry if I hate it.....and if I love it too. Well to elevate some of that blame ... you may want to check out THISSituation may not be what it seems, but for now, I am NOT regretting my decision not to add this title. This could be yet another straw in DC's ever growing pile laid heavily on the back of that poor camel.

Yep, still waiting on my boy Dave to get back to me ... see if he is getting GOTG so I can read the issue Hopefully it will lead to more work at Marvel. DC seems to, once again, not recognize a good creator when they have them.
