Diamond List...December 21, 2011

[JewishHobbit]

So I've been hit and miss of late so I thought I'd start this week off right with a proper video and everything. I'm not a very big video game fan but Final Fantasy VIII is probably my all time favorite game. Here's a music video someone made for it using Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On

I look at this list and the first thing I want to do is whine and complain about how expensive all this crap is and how that makes my Red Lantern ring fire up and I puke blood. But instead I'm going to go about it a different way...

At least Marvel's overcharged me enough to have dropped all of these titles or my list would have been SO much worse.

It is very odd that they're choosing to publish a trade of Robert Kirkman's JUBILEE series from 2004-2005 if memory serves. That was one of the first major series which retroactively switched from an ongoing series to a mini series on trade dress and solicitations due to low sales. It mostly focused on Jubilee's zany aunt and was a bit awkward. Maybe if it'd done better, she wouldn't be a vampire now. It was the last bit of story to feature her before she was de-powered. Hers was a power that on the surface just looked like another "point and shoot" power to blow stuff up with sparkles, but was always said to "have potential" that now no writer can ever express. Lesson? No character EVER rises to their potential if they're not A-List. And if they do, they will eventually be forgotten or that progress will be undone and thus made worthless. For instance, I am waiting for when Nova will be back in his old outfit and with the New Warriors again, struggling to stop the Rhino on a robbery. Jubilee, perhaps then, is a cautionary tale to never believe what a major comic publisher says, only what they DO.

That said, this is the heaviest week of the month for me so far, in both volume and price (with 4 books over $3.99; although one is IDW and the other is a Handbook). I love how most Handbooks of "unimportant" franchises remain $3.99, but when Marvel wants to spam one, it's $4.99. Go on, gouge the wholesale cost of something that shops only order about 5,000 of anyway. Should be solid. INVINCIBLE and THUNDERBOLTS are likely the shakiest ones to me. INVINCIBLE is shuffling it's status quo a bit which makes it unpredictable, and T-Bolts seems to wax and wane between awesome and mediocre. If not for Jeff Parker I'd have ditched it by now.

Do you actually BUY all of those? That's a lot of ****ing comics. Also, reading that many comics and not reading Invincible? For shame.

About to head to the American Girl store with my daughter and her friend; but, I have enough time to answer a quick question.

Yes, I actually buy all those comics. (Today's bill with my discount, not including the Punisher #1 signed copy by John Romita that I left at the store, because it cost $19.95 and I'm waiting for a cheaper week cost a little over $200.00. I ended up getting 5 variants; plus, I wasn't aware that the $6.99 Batman Incorp. was all new material. That upped the price.) Now, as I'm working more and more, it takes me quite a bit of time to actually get around to reading many of those books. I currently have about three small boxes of comics on my "must read" list.

As for Invincible...I wish I got into that book when it came out. But, I didn't, and I keep thinking one day I'll just buy someone's collection and catch myself up. I know. If I would have just done it when the book was in the 20's, I'd be much better off. Invincible is that one book that I should be getting that I'm not.
