I might get Superman-Batman #12. So a slow week for me. And this topic seems to be kind of slow at the moment. Post people!

TEEN TITANS/LEGION SPECIAL (hey, it's on DC's list but not Diamond's edit:shit..it got pushed back to next week now)
GREEN LANTERN #181
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #512


It's debatable as to how much Titans/Legion is going to piss me off, being the last time I'll probably ever see these versions of the Legion, who were FINALLY beginning to come into their own. Nothing Waid has said about the new run has given me any confidence.

 

[Seth C]

For the first time since I got back in to comics there is absolutely NOTHING I'm buying this week. Ah well.

 

[BuddyC]

*scrolling through list* Wow, nothing this week. Oh shit! 2099! Hopefully they're so bad, they're good - I'll definately read at the shop though.

SUPERMAN #209
SUPERMAN BATMAN #12
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #512
KABUKI #2
X-MEN #162
WIZARD COMICS MAG #157 INCREDIBLE HULK #340 CVR (W/INSERT)
METAL GEAR SOLID #1 (MR)
TRANSFORMERS GENERATION ONE VOL 3 #8

Small possibility I might have to wait until next week to pick these up, but I doubt it. I've been looking forward to reading Metal Gear Solid for awhile now, as I like Ashley Wood's art. Amazing Spider-Man has me interested in how the story is going to turn out, even though I missed last month's issue. I chose that cover of Wizard as I like it more than the other two, even though i have all 3 issues in question that they're taken from.

 

[BastardSamurai]

I will add to the Adam Strange love. Reading Diggle's comments about his vision for the book is dangerous on my wallet; plus it's nice to get some old-fashion pulp sci-fi in comics now.

 

[FnordChan]

Goddamnit. I won't be able to go to the shop until this weekend, and I've got this waiting for me:

DC: The New Frontier #6 (of6) - Oh, thank god it's finally out.

Other, lesser comics include:

Wonder Woman #208 - Yawn.

Courtney Crumrin in the Twilight Kingdom - I didn't start reading this series until the first two collections were out, so I've been holding out for the third trade...and it was freakin' killing me. Mildly macabre tales of middle school and the supernatural. Flip through one of the collections at your show and bow before the power of Oni.

And that's it, even if we're still looking at $20 or so worth of comics. Still, I figure I'll have enough extra scratch budgeted that I can pick up a couple more Iron Wok Jan collections.

Cooking manga rules.

MAY040288 SUPERMAN BATMAN #12 $2.95

Looks like all I've got to look forward to this week is a comic that's been delayed for months, and 2 late items that may or may not arrive. ...Yahoo. Good thing I've got Monster Hunter to keep me occupied.

BUY MONSTER HUNTER!

Heads up for Superman/Batman fans in the West Coast. From MillarWorld:

I just got off the phone with Diamond, and apparently, all of the copies of Superman/Batman #12 were held up in customs for some reason no one seems to know. This only affects the stores that get their books from the LA warehouse, which is mostly just west coast stores. Everyone else gets their copies tomorrow. West coast gets them next week.

 

[DarienA]

Heads up for Superman/Batman fans in the West Coast. From MillarWorld:

That's because TERRORISTS PUBLISH COMICS FOR PEOPLE ON THE WEST COAST!!!

ON THE EAST COAST THOSE SAME COMICS ARE PUBLISHED BY LAW ABIDING CITIZENS!

EDIT: Preview of SB #12 at PopCultureShock...

http://www.popcultureshock.com/reviews.php?id=3379

Just those few pages verify why that is one of my favorite f'n books.... I can't wait for the next storyline that is coming up... it looks like it is gonna f'n ROCK.

JUL040612 DC THE NEW FRONTIER #6 (Of 6) $6.95

Woo!

[evil solrac v3.0]

then that is all that matters this week.

 

[FnordChan]

then that is all that matters this week.

If it wasn't for the third Courtney Crumrin collection, I'd agree with you.

The first issue of the original Courtney Crumrin series, Courtney Crumrin and the Night Things, can be read for free here. Feel the love.

They're fucking rebooting. AGAIN.

Mark Waid seems to think it's a good idea, though I fail to see how.

 

[nomoment]

then that is all that matters this week.

Adam Strange matters!

Why aren't more people buying this title? It'll be good, trust me. Check out the early reviews so far: http://www.thefourthrail.com/reviews/critiques/092704/adamstrange1.shtml, http://www.thefourthrail.com/reviews/snapjudgments/092704/adamstrange1.shtml

And Black Mask is back? He was only dead for like, a year and a half. I guess DC shouldn't criticize Marvel's "dead is dead" policy, then.

 

[Ignatz Mouse]

I'm getting Adam Strnage.

And speakinf of Black Mask-- I gave up on Catwoman when the art changed. Does it suck, or is the writing still good?

It sucks worse than you could ever imagine. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.

Superman/Batman #12 Spoilers:

Spoiler

Well, so much for the new Supergirl; Darkseid took care of this one fairly quick... or so it would seem. Y'know, the life expectancy of these gals is getting shorter and shorter; Superman should just build himself an army of disposable Supergirl sidekick robots instead. Maybe Batman ought to do the same, at the rate he's going through Robins. His "robot JLA" in the upcoming JLA: Classified shows he's got the skills.

Oh well... At least Batman proved (yet again) why he's such a f*cking badass in this issue.

Damn straight... next storyline ahoy!

 

[Spike Spiegel]

Well, there IS one more issue in this story arc.
