The original plan for Omega was for it to be seven issues, but it sounds like issue #5 is now the last. From what I've read, the final two issues will still be released by they won't be under the "Omega" label.

Makes no difference to me, other than I foresee some additional delays in their release. It will be worth the wait.

When I was checking wikipedia to find info on the last trade the last two issues will be labeled "Alpha".

It also has a story featuring Riddler, back when he was reformed. Speaking of which I much liked it when Ivy, Harley and Riddler were 'good guys' befor the reboot.

Isn't Ivy good now? Or at least an anti-hero. I don't read Suicide Squad but I think Harley is still looney? Did Riddler even appear in 52 yet?

He was in the first issue of Batman by Scott Synder and Greg Capuliio and he has a part in the recent Batman Death of the Family arc.

Poison Ivy was also a fairly frequent guest in the Harley Quinn solo series from some years back; the one by Kesel, with artwork by the Dodsons. That series was a lot of fun, with Harley breaking away from Joker and having her own gang of goons, moving to Metropolis for a time and getting into all sort of mischief.

EDIT: This one.

Morning Glories is way closer to Lost than Locke and Key.

Both are awesome!

Ugh. I don't even know what to think about Morning Gkories at this point. It's way too far in for us to have so few answers. I like the characters and the art, but the story is a fucking mess. You're right! It is just like Lost!

I wanted to get the hardcover for TMNT but I found out it has the same amount of issues as the first tpb so I'll just buy the paperbacks.

Yeah, that was a ridiculous move by IDW, I thought. Despite the fact that the hardcover version had some bonus material in the way of sketches and whatnot, charging $50 for a fucking 192-page hardcover is ludicrous. Let me tell you something about IDW - they're a bunch of entitled shit-cunts.

I started reading Fables #125...I have no desire to read this arc. Stopped ordering Fables after 129 but that's 5 whole issues to get through.

Eh IDW has some of my fav. books/series atm, but their regular TPBs cost $15-20, and tend to collect like 5 issues on average.

For that matter, who do I gotta e-mail for a Transformers Spotlight TPB collecting Orion Pax, Hoist, Trailcutter/Trailbreaker & Transformers 23 and 24?
Cuz I don't want to get Chaos Theory despite how much I want to have TF #23 and 24 in a TPB >_<.

There's a Generation Hope/Young X-Men sale going on Comixology, and I already spent my last bit of change on Subatomic Party Girls. Crap. :/

already, what else can I buy that has a lot of Poison Ivy? I know there's a Harley/Ivy trade, but I didn't see it at my local shop. Other suggestions?

Try out Gotham City Sirens. It was a team-up series with Poison Ivy, Catwoman and Harley Quinn. There are 3 trades I think. I read the first two and they were fun enough.

Damn I totally forgot about this book! I really enjoyed it at the time. It and Streets of Gotham.

Generation Hope, best teen book written by Gillen, is on sale on Comixology. Also Young X-Men, which was pretty decent after the first arc. Get them, X fans!

Annoyingly I missed the Secret Avengers sale over the weekend, I only had access on Friday night and the store hadn't updated the prices yet. Shame as I was going to get all the Warren Ellis issues.

Speaking of Warren Ellis, just noticed the Planetary Omnibus hardcover rerelease is up for preorder on Amazon UK for £35. Definitely getting that.

I'm working on the June OT this week and will TRY to have it up for the weekend... I have relatives visiting on their summer vacation, so we'll see how that works out. So, if anyone has an idea for a "Bullhorn" segment for June, I'd love to hear about it; just send me a PM with a brief description.

Also, I haven't fully decided yet but I may (repeat, MAY) take off from making the July OT, because everyone could use a break now and then. I should have my mind made up in the next few weeks.

Click to expand...

Indeed. I'd love to get all my Jonah Hex comics back in digital form

Speaking of Comixology i've been such an idiot! Turns out i've been paying tax through itunes/ipad app buying comics when i could just buy from their site that had no tax. When i did that there was no tax and it syncs to the ipad instantly for download.

I can't make up my mind whether to subscribe to the Brian Wood X-Men starting next week, or just wait to hear if it's good and get the trades. The art looks great. Damn Marvel and their $4.00 comics...

Decent sized week this week for me:

- Justice League of America #4
- Captain America #7
- Indestructible Hulk #8
- New Avengers #6
- Uncanny X-Force #5
- Wolverine and the X-Men #30
- X-Men #1

- I am thinking of dropping Hulk though. I typically like Waid's writing, but this book hasn't been doing it for me.
