 Cheesy - Issue 1 just came out this month and it's $4.99.  I'm anxious to jump on it but I'm going to wait 30 days for the $1 price drop.  I'm dying to read it but I'll be a month behind on it at that price.

Just saw recent creative Line-Ups from a Valiant meeting and I think my fears have been lessened.

I am liking the looks of some of the stuff they have in the pipeline.

Soooo damn happy about that.

And yes, I will be back later with my reading list, but I have to be ... selective as I really do jump around a lot.

EDIT - HERE is one bit of news (and I do hate that X-O is relaunching (not in story, I don't think  Grin)

Okay, This is not going to be a long list as I do jump around so much, plus ... I guess I add the ones I wait to read large chunks of as well? I mean, I do read them, just not monthly. I guess I will mark the ones I read monthly, as they would be the less of the two options, compared to the ones I read in chunks  Grin

(* = denotes read, or at least try to read, the week it hits, others I read when I feel I'm in the mood for that title)

Oh, and Jeff, Lazarus Risen, Lasarus part three from Rucka, starts next week I think  Wink

Reading....as to what I'm actually buying...

DC Comics
Justice League
Aquaman
DeathstrokeThe Green Lantern
Hawkman
Shazam (as of issue 3!)
Adventures of the Super Sons
Doomsday Clock
Heroes in Crisis
(**For my own commentary...a pretty sad list. Justice League is still twice monthly, I believe, where I get to see all my favorite heroes. I've cut back on Flash (was poor, or not rising above poor when I was interested; WW I wasn't sure when the actual full time writer came on...and if it's the one I'm thinking of, I'm not too keen on her, and of course obligatory DAMN YOU BENDIS for my Superman books. Also, 3 of my books here have a limited time threshold for being on this list, as they have finite ends, and Shazam isn't rocking my world. As I'm in a money crunch, I guess I see no other reason to really add on. I always figure I can read Batman whenever...I just don't know why I'm not motivated to do it now, what with Tom King being on the title for so long. )

Others
Birthright-no new trade in sight. Brief hiatus or something. I think I read it would be October before I got volume 7. OH well.
Seven to Eternity -whenever the next trade drops...in the next 8-9 months...I'll get it
East of West-countdown to the finale!
Copperhead -behind
Black Hammer -behind
Black Magick - behind
Descender -behind, but...I've not been into the book when I was reading through volume 4. Went cool for my interest. Got one in library to read yet

VALIANT
*behind like, 5 years on!!!
Ninjak
Bloodshot Salvation
X-manowar
Anything with Toyo
Harbinger War II
Livewire
Faith
Generation Zero

What I read...

MARVEL Unlimited
Thor I HATE YOU DEL MUNDO
Immortal Hulk
Amazing Spider-man
Peter Parker, Spectacular Spider-man
The Punisher
Deadpool
Captain America
Avengers
(after this, I read a bunch of stuff. Only getting back to reading any X books with X-termination. Multiple Man has been fun, as has Deadpool Assassin. Infinity Wars I feel pretty cool on, to be honest. I'll look at Captain Marvel, Cosmic Ghost Rider, um...and just stuff, I guess. If it's been there for 3 months, and I keep skipping it for the new weekly releases, I've been deleting it instead. I'm looking at you, Venom First host.

Copperhead -behind

I had forgotten about this and was afraid I have been missing it.  The last issue I read was issue 19 which teased "Next Month in issue 20!"   That was June 2018.  No issue 20 yet nor even solicited that I know of.

If it's been there for 3 months, and I keep skipping it for the new weekly releases, I've been deleting it instead. I'm looking at you, Venom First host.

LOL.  Of course, I just added Venom First Host to my reading list yesterday.   Cheesy

Well, there goes that hurry to read and catch up. The same is occurring with Birthright, right now, since I collect that in trade, I know nothing comes before October this year since it's being optioned out for movie/TV media by Williamson.

I put it on there, thinking, maybe, maybe I'd try it? LOL I just don't think so. Grin

Also, I left off Morning Glories since Spencer seems to have given up on that (in my estimation) since there is no talk of anything for third season/year, and there is nothing listed anywhere to collect the last 12 issues into an oversized deluxe hardcover (how I was collecting/reading it).

THAT is why I sometimes pretend to shy away from creator work-because it can fizzle out or just get lost. Although, my first experience with it was Battle Chasers, so I got burned right away and have just always been leary about it now!  Cheesy Cheesy
