Read the previews for Black Canary, JLU, and Earth 2.
Black Canary seems great. Fun script and Wu's art is great. I bet they get some Hawkeye fans reading that. I will.
JLU - Great intro. Best hero on the roster is Gums Everywhere.
Earth-2: Cool as hell. I love this art. Helena... Wayne? What?! I feel like I missed a lot of important stuff.

Did you check out that Romance book that came out today?
Helena Wayne is an old Earth 2 thing. In that universe Bruce and Selina got married and had Helena.

So for "creative" team misfires we have The Flash, Green Lantern, Batman Beyond and what else?
Wild. I kinda wanna read World's End. Seems cool.

I really liked Worlds End. I really didn't know where they were going to go with it and it felt like anything could happen because of the "Elseworld" nature of it. They didn't have to worry about going back to a status quo. It is, of course, a weekly book (though only half as long as the others which is still 26 issues) but I felt it was the 2nd best behind Batman Eternal and well worth the ride though others might disagree.
Rafa, the girl at subway gave me an extra meatball in my meatball sub.
MTMTE 41 is good stuff.
Ordered some new books as well; finally decided to get the hardcover Uncanny Avengers Avenge the Earth and Uncanny X-Force vol 2 Deathlok Nation and UC Death of Spider-Man Fall-out were 6,50. Still need to complete my Ultimate Spider-Man collection so I don't mind. Eight volumes left.

Lot of people expressing relief at Iron Fist TLW's end, and their eagerness to forget its existence.
...
I liked it.

I like it when people enjoy things. I never gave it a shot.

They also started rereleasing the trades in hardcover volumes. Two full trades per book, plus all the art in the back. It's pretty sick, but I own all the trades already, so I won't buy them. It's sick though. They just released Welcome to Lovecraft and Head Games in one book.
Dresses aren't that tight...not that I'm complaining...
Not even the best page
Gotta reverse it.
I would let him pack my car when I go on vacation. The way he compartmentalizes female organs and makes them fit in those tiny waist gives me confidence he can make my life easier.

So...you're saying he's a corset.
Is this really official that SG is getting canned?
Too bad The Cheesecake Factory is already trademarked... that seems like the perfect nickname for him.

A corset for life.

That stings brah. I have to believe Chic Fil A girl and I were meant to be...
Shit I didn't realize this was out. Just bought it.
Don't forget Aquaman.
I thought it was interesting that July books like Cyborg and *swoon* JLU got preview books but Hitch's JLA didn't.
It's cool to see MJ going for the body paint look for her wedding dress on that Campbell cover. Good on her for being that confident.
The first story is p good but the other two are dull setup without anything beyond introducing the very basics aka american anthology comics 101

So are you saying it's not worth the $5?

Reviews seem to be sitting around 4/5 8-9/10 so far.

Geez, I missed Where Monsters Dwell, too. Anybody read that yet? I'm surprised Garth Ennis wrote a Secret Wars book and nobody is talking about it.
Gonna nab that and Material as well, I think.

It's hard to say if it's "worth" it because there really aren't any non-Japanese romance comics readily available and coming out right now -- so if that's what you're looking for then this might be the only game in town. In which case, go for it! I think I will probably pick up the 2nd one when it comes out though even though the 5 bux is steep as fuckkk, if only to see if the 2nd and 3rd stories can hook me.

I mostly liked it, it was a lot of set up though. Phantom Eagle was a bit more rakish than I remember him being in War is Hell, but it's all ready to be a fun pulpy action deal.
If it existed in a vacuum, I might like it more, but it basically takes everything that I liked about Immortal Iron Fist and blows it up. Most of the time literally.

Constantine: Hellblazer preview has been excellent. Seems to capture the core of this character, but yet feels very different from Hellblazer and New 52 John. Very nice. I've had big hopes for new teams on both Constantine and Green Arrow and from previews it seems they might deliver.

No if Fiona staples can draw Archie and saga is not canceled

It looked promising. The art threw me off at first and I worried Constantine would be a softy and then he was all, "Help you? LOL have fun getting skinned alive."
She is drawing 3 issues
Constantine probably my favorite sneak peak this week besides JLU.

Had purged that from my mind. Trevor McCarthy can't catch a break. Those Six Gun Deluxe Editions are a thing of absolute beauty though. I'd reccomend them to Cullen Bunn's worst enemy.
