be canceled sometime soon. ;) Just a hunch. Seems like all the 'new' comics I've gotten into lately either get canceled or will soon be. Except maybe for Conan, but it has such a license behind it and sells so well, I doubt it'll be going anywhere soon.

For me:

Initimates #3

Another small week for me, next week should be bigger though.

ULTIMATE X-MEN #54
X-MEN PHOENIX ENDSONG #1 (OF 5)

Pretty light week. If I find Darkstalkers #1 and Mu #1, then I'll get them.

FLASH #217 - I vaguely remember what happened last issue. I think it was a Crisis crossover
INTIMATES #3 - I want to like this but all the stuff at the bottom of the pages is Information Overload.
HORNY BIKER SLUTS #3 - Seriously, wtf is this?

On the agenda:

Ultimate X-Men #54 - Fun, if not particularly exciting.

Blue Spring Vol. 1 - High school thug manga by Taiyo "Black and White, No. 5" Matsumoto? Yes, please!

Please Save My Earth Vol. 8 - In which my unabashed love affair with shoujo manga SF continues.

So, this would be a light week, if I didn't have a double sawbuck's worth of Japanese comics waiting for me...and if there wasn't at least half a C-note of loot already sitting in my bag...

You'd be surprised MASB, the Intimates was actually Wildstorm's best selling book last month. I do think fans will eventually ditch the title though, since Joe Casey obviously doesn't have much of a story to tell.

FLASH #217
QUESTION #3 (OF 6)

BTW, Anybody read this week's Lying in the Gutters? Frank Miller is apparently going to be the writer of All-Star Batman.

DC is going to have an insane year.

Huh? All it says is that Miller won an online poll for the ideal writer of the book.
As everyone was departing, and Frazer was getting to know a hillock rather well, Rich Johnston arrived with the results of the "All-Star Batman & Robin" vote, where Lying In The Gutters readers chose their ideal writer for Jim Lee on the book.

Rich Johnston pulled out the result. "The winner" he announced to the dead air "is Frank Miller." He folded the piece of paper into four, pressed a pin through it and stuck it into a voodoo doll of Paul Levitz. The deed was done. Frank Miller would be the writer of "All Star Batman & Robin," with Jim Lee on art. Expect an announcement from DC later in the year. Or whenever the Wizard solicitation gets leaked.

The "announcement" seems a bit ambiguous in the context of the article, but Johnston does mean to say that Frank Miller will be the writer of All-Star Batman.

He's been yammering about this on MillarWorld for the past few days, and the whole ideal Batman writer poll (because obviously, everyone would choose Frank Miller) was just an easy set-up for his "breaking news."
 
let's see...

DETECTIVE COMICS #802
FIRESTORM #9 *FIRESTORM, YO*
FLASH #217
QUESTION #3 (OF 6) *this series is good people, art is a bit weak but still nice though...*
 

DarienA

The black man everyone at Activision can agree on
DETECTIVE COMICS #802
INCREDIBLE HULK #77 - sniff.. I've missed you.
NEW AVENGERS #2
SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN #23
TOMB OF DRACULA #4 - as close as I'm gonna come to a decent Blade comic....
X-MEN PHOENIX ENDSONG #1 - <sigh> I'm such a sucker for Phoenix story's....
 
NOV040281 JUSTICE LEAGUE ELITE #7 (OF 12) $2.50
OCT043111 VAGABOND VOL 18 TP $9.95

And maybe...

OCT041520 LIBERTY MEADOWS CREATURE COMFORTS VOL 2 TP $14.95

...if I can find it.
 
Cap America #2 KILLER art and nice cliffhanger at the end of issue #1
New Avengers # 2 Gotta love a train wreck...
Ult. X-men #54
X-MEN PHOENIX ENDSONG #1 As long as this it the LAST DAMN TIME they kill her off. This can't be any worse than X-men: The end... RIGHT? God, that was utter shit.

PS: I'me sure this ie purely an educational title: HORNY BIKER SLUTS #3
 
NEW AVENGERS #2
SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN #23
SPIDER-MAN UNLIMITED #7
X-MEN PHOENIX ENDSONG #1

and maybe, X-MEN FANTASTIC FOUR #2

The next New Avengers has me the most psyched.
 
Hunh... Phoenix: Endsong was more intriguing than I thought it'd be. Too bad it's such a f*cking tease; I'm really getting tired of these stretched-out stories Marvel seems so intent upon. And folks have the nerve to get mad at people who're just "waiting for the TPB"...
