[CaptainCanada]

DC COMICS

GREEN LANTERN #36 (RES) $2.99 - Feels like forever since the last issue.
NORTHLANDERS #13 (MR) $2.99 - I had been meaning to drop this, but this new arc is pretty good.

MARVEL COMICS

AVENGERS INVADERS #7 (OF 12) $2.99 - I'm still on the fence whether to keep buying this or wait and see the final word on the trade.
CAPTAIN AMERICA #45 $2.99 - The first of the real A-list books out; this newest arc has been quieter than the preceding one, but still good.
FANTASTIC FOUR #562 $2.99 - Also good.
GUARDIANS OF GALAXY #8 $2.99 - See above.
INCOGNITO #1 (MR) $3.50 - Very interested to see where this goes; the premise sounds like something that could be easily shopped to Hollywood, too.
INCREDIBLE HERCULES #124 $2.99 - My favourite title.
X-FORCE #10 $2.99 - The Choi/Oback art and much-improved writing have made this arc much more enjoyable than the preceding one.
X-MEN NOIR #2 (OF 4) $3.99 - First issue was great.

Big, big week; nice way to end/start the year. The initial release date getting bounced back means that January will ship two issues of several of Marvel's best titles.

DARK HORSE COMICS
STAR WARS LEGACY #31 VECTOR PART 12 OF 12 $2.99

DC COMICS
BLUE BEETLE #34 $2.99
FINAL CRISIS SECRET FILES #1 $3.99 (Maybe. I'm not following the event, but I don't want to be totally lost when it's all over, so this seems like a solid compromise.)

MADAME XANADU #7 (MR) $2.99
NORTHLANDERS #13 (MR) $2.99
SCALPED #24 (MR) $2.99

CAPTAIN AMERICA #45 $2.99
ETERNALS #7 MARTIN VAR $2.99 (Is this Marcos Martin? If so, I'm all over that.)
FANTASTIC FOUR COSMIC SPECIAL $4.99 (They still haven't released any information on this on Marvel's website, so I'll flip through it at the shop and decide whether I want it then.)
GUARDIANS OF GALAXY #8 $2.99
INCOGNITO #1 (MR) $3.50 (Sounds interesting, but I couldn't get into Criminal. Hopefully this is better.)
INCREDIBLE HERCULES #124 $2.99
WAR MACHINE #1 DKR $2.99

COMICS
BOYS #26 (MR) $2.99
SHRAPNEL #1 (OF 5) $1.99 (This sounds really interesting and it's cheap by today's standards. I'll get whichever of the many variant covers looks prettiest.)

I'm still seeing A:TI as $2.99, so I'm reserving judgment until the issue hits stands.
Fantastic Four Cosmic-Sized has always been $4.99 I think. I still don't know what it's about...
