DC COMICS

MANHUNTER #37 $2.99 - two to go; I will miss this series, though it's been lacking some of its spark since it came back.
TERRA #4 (OF 4) $2.99 - this has been fun.

MARVEL COMICS


SPIDER-MAN NOIR #1 (OF 4) $3.99 - maybe; I loved the first Noir title, so I may check and see if the second measures up.
UNCANNY X-MEN #505 MD $2.99 - the first issue of this arc was a huge, huge improvement.
X-MEN KINGBREAKER #1 (OF 4) $3.99 - Yost's previous Starjammers miniseries was good, and I'll be interested to see where "War of Kings" goes.

maybe. i haven't followed the series so far, but I am planning to buy the back issues.
miniscule weeks make my wallet happy, especially during Christmas season.

edit: also maybe, Thor God-Sized.

definitely picking up The Walking Dead #56.

Below average quantity week. Bendis' run on MA reaches a final issue, A:TI wraps up the SI tie in, GHOST RIDER peters out and we'll see what IIM will be about.

And not one $3.99 book, yet.

New and Dark Avengers along with Hulk are the only ongoings I'm aware of getting the 3.99 tag

 

[Phaedrus45]

Finally caught the last episode of Sons Of Anarchy. Pretty good new series, and I can't wait for next season to start. Looks like this season was all build up for some good stuff coming up.

Now, if they'd just conclude Prison Break. It has become long in the tooth, and needs to wrap everything up and let it die.

Bring on LOST!!!!

DARK HORSE COMICS

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER #20 CHEN CVR $2.99

DC COMICS

BATGIRL #6 (OF 6) $2.99
BATMAN AND THE OUTSIDERS #14 $2.99
EX MACHINA #40 (MR) $2.99 - (Just bought issues 1-35 for forty bucks at Half Priced Books. I might have to start buying it, just in case I get to reading it and liking it.)

IMAGE COMICS

WALKING DEAD #56 (RES) (MR) $2.99 - (Must be near the end of the year. Kirkman always shoves a bunch of these out at this time, making up for the delays from months before. Still, the best Zombie title out there, and he's not afraid to kill off beloved characters.)

ZORRO #9 $3.50 - (Really good title that puts Lone Ranger to shame.)

DARK HORSE COMICS
BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER #20 CHEN CVR $2.99

DC COMICS
DCU HOLIDAY SPECIAL 2008 $5.99 (I might get this, but the DC universe kind of sucks as a whole right now. Not the sort of place I'd want to go for the holidays. Plus it's a hell of a lot of money for an issue's worth of stories that won't be important at all in the long run.)
FABLES #79 (MR) $2.99
MANHUNTER #37 $2.99
TRINITY #29 $2.99

IMAGE COMICS
WALKING DEAD #56 (RES) (MR) $2.99

MARVEL COMICS
AVENGERS INITIATIVE #19 SI $2.99
DARK REIGN NEW NATION $3.99 (These preview issues of upcoming series are great. Marvel's marketing department wins for once.)
MIGHTY AVENGERS #20 DKR $2.99 (Yeah, I know, but Thor's in it and it looks like it's mostly transitioning to Slott's upcoming status quo. Shut up.)
THOR GOD SIZED #1 $3.99
THUNDERBOLTS #127 $2.99 (The new status quo looks intriguing and I hear Diggle's pretty good, so I'll give this a shot.)
WHAT IF NEWER FANTASTIC FOUR $3.99 (I love What Ifs.)
X-FACTOR #38 $2.99
X-MEN KINGBREAKER #1 (OF 4) $3.99 (Still on the fence about this. It's a War of Kings lead-in, so I probably should read it, but everything else about it sucks.)
X-MEN LEGACY #219 $2.99 (Finally, I can start reading this again after that Wolverine: Origins crossover and I'm treated to the Juggernaut, no less. Awesome.)

I decided to skip on this, especially after reading the last DC Halloween Special that was so God Awful!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Crap, I still haven't even read that myself. I bought it and it's just been sitting on the floor next to my bed. I guess that should be a strong indicator that I shouldn't buy the Holiday Special, huh?

 

[GNR]

Corp,check out Tbolts #126,it's Diggle's first ish.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Oh, it does sound like this issue will be picking up from where that one left off. Thanks, I'll check for it at the shop tomorrow.

AVENGERS INITIATIVE #19 SI $2.99
THUNDERBOLTS #127 $2.99 (This will be my last issue if the next one is the new team)
UNCANNY X-MEN #505 MD $2.99 (I'm a long time X-Fan, but I'm getting real bored of this series. It may be dropped soon... and I hate that.)


Maybe

X-MEN LEGACY #219 $2.99 (I'm behind 2 issues counting Wolv. Origins. I'm not interested in Rogue either so I'm starting to lose interest in this title)

SPIDER-MAN NOIR #1 (OF 4) $3.99 (This'll be the book dropped if I have to drop one.

 

[JewishHobbit]

New and Dark Avengers along with Hulk are the only ongoings I'm aware of getting the 3.99 tag

Wait, are those ongoing price hikes or just the first issues of the Dark Reign? I planned on buying New and Dark, but if they're ongoing then they're dropped and I'll call my Avengers centric collection done with Secret Invasion.
