If they're lame, then why are you purchasing them?

I was referring to the quantity, not quality, of my haul.

So buy more quality books.

DYNAMO 5 #14
PATSY WALKER HELLCAT #1
PUNISHER WAR JOURNAL #21

Hmm. Odd week to call. Not an expensive one, but D5 and Wolf-Man sometimes are late so I don't know if they will actually come out this week or next. Despite the fact that the Hellcat story from MCP by the same writer as the mini was overrated, I am giving this a try on sheer curiosity (which killed the cat). Blue Beetle has either another "guest" writer or a new creative team to take over from Jones. And PWJ is in the Jigsaw storyline that is enjoyable, but not as manic as some past issues. We'll have to wait and see on this one.

Am not terribly interested in Ellis' AXM.

[CaptainCanada]

DC COMICS

BILLY BATSON AND THE MAGIC OF SHAZAM #1 $2.25 - Maybe; I like the look of this, and Captain Marvel is one of the characters who really suits a really kid-friendly approach.
FABLES #74 (MR) $2.99 - Very interested to see what happens next; my big fear is that the Empire goes down too easily.
MANHUNTER #32 $2.99 - Should be good.
NORTHLANDERS #7 (MR) $2.99 - Only two issues left in this story.

MARVEL COMICS

ASTONISHING X-MEN #25 MD $2.99 - Very interested to see what Ellis has in store, and Bianchi on art will be a welcome distraction from Greg Land on UXM.
AVENGERS INVADERS #3 (OF 12) $2.99 - Enjoyable series so far.
CAPTAIN AMERICA TP OPERATION REBIRTH NEW PTG $29.99 - I've been waiting a while to get a look at Waid's much-praised first run.

 

[Blader5489]

So buy more quality books.

I would if there were more coming out this week.
