Ironing out the wrinkles in your brain ... better than taking the iron to another part of the body that is prone to wrinkles.
DC COMICS
ACTION COMICS #878 $2.99
BATMAN #687 $3.99
BATMAN CONFIDENTIAL #30 $2.99 - (Currently, the best Batman title you can buy.)
BOOSTER GOLD #21 $3.99 - (I'm thinking about dropping this title. It's good...but, I find myself getting very bored with these same type of storylines issue after issue.)
DMZ #42 (MR) $2.99
FINAL CRISIS AFTERMATH ESCAPE #2 (OF 6) $2.99
FLASH REBIRTH #3 (OF 6) $2.99
GEN 13 #30 $2.99 - (All the Wildstorm titles are close to being dropped by me. The World's End storyline has made all four of the titles worse than ever.)
GREEN LANTERN CORPS #37 $2.99
JSA VS KOBRA ENGINES OF FAITH #1 (OF 6) $2.99
REBELS #5 $2.99 - (I liked the first issue...but, as this story has continued, I like it less and less. I want my old Legion back.)
RED ROBIN #1 $2.99
SHOWCASE PRESENTS GREEN LANTERN TP VOL 04 $16.99
SPIRIT #29 $2.99 - (Another comic that is pretty good...but, after reading 25+ issues, I find myself becoming bored of a hero whose character never evolves. I am behind about 5 issues sitting in my "must read' box...and, am hoping that the new writer might make me feel differently.)
STORMING PARADISE #6 (OF 6) (RES) $2.99
TITANS #14 $2.99
UNWRITTEN #2 (MR) $2.99

IMAGE COMICS
PROOF #20 $3.50

BETA RAY BILL GODHUNTER #1 (OF 3) $3.99

PRIDE & PREJUDICE #3 (OF 5) $3.99
PUNISHER FRANK CASTLE MAX #71 (MR) $3.99
THOR TALES OF ASGARD BY LEE & KIRBY #2 (OF 6) $3.99 - (Nice reprints of those classic tales; it's just you shouldn't have to pay such a price for old material. Does Lee and Kirby's estate get money from these reprints? If they get what other writers and artists get today, I won't mind as much.)
UNCANNY X-MEN #511 $2.99
UNCANNY X-MEN FIRST CLASS GIANT-SIZE SPECIAL #1 $3.99
WAR OF KINGS SAVAGE WORLD OF SKAAR $3.99

Red Robin #1 was going to be a "maybe," but I'm picking up too many comics that week as it is.

 

[Dread]

FANTASTIC FOUR #567
UNCANNY X-MEN FIRST CLASS SPECIAL #1

That's pretty much it. Lot of trades and one-shot's from Marvel this week. After a balanced May schedule for comics, it looks like June will see the return of "feast or famine" weeks. Balance was good while it lasted.

There's that WAR OF KINGS: SAVAGE WORLD OF SKAAR one shot, but I don't read SKAAR, and part of me is skeptical that a one-shot nearly 2/3rd's into the event with a character who in no way has even been mentioned really impacts on it. The cynic in me sees it as a stunt to try to boost SKAAR's numbers. I read PLANET HULK before WORLD WAR HULK and about all I know about Skaar is that he's Hulk's son who somehow grew up without a womb and he's having rip-off Conan adventures in space on whatever is left of Sakaar. I've not been too big on the barbarian genre, and if I was...I'd just read CONAN. Now granted, I liked PLANET HULK, but that was more because it was a unique and interesting Hulk story more than anything else.

On the upside for the one-shot...it is a painfully slow week. The odds of an impulse buy (leap of faith) are maybe 50/50. I'm in no position to buy up back issues/trades right now financially if I like it, though.

Yikes, that's a small week.

 

[Phaedrus45]

I've been reading the recent issues of Fantastic Four...and, I don't know...it's just not hooking me. It's like it's trying to be great; but, I'm not feeling it. It feels like it's been years and years that F4 blew me away. I'm still waiting for an excellent Doom story to come along. This Doom...just seems out of character.

Agreed. In truth the Millar run hasn't been any better in quality than the McDuffie run, it just as more of an air of pretentiousness because of the "A-List" creative team and the coverage because of it. Sales have slipped to average FF numbers and even Marvel wants to end this run on schedule, even via fill in art. I'm waiting for the Hickman run and just want to see the end.

Millar has a good voice for Doom's speech, but Doom's actions have been weak for about two years now.

 

[Tron Bonne]

I saw Doom bowing to his 'masters' on the cover of the new FF, and I just shook my head

flash rebirth #3 (of 6) $2.99

Starting with the maybe's...

I'm debating on jumping into the Batman world so that's why Batman and Red Robin are both there. I haven't decided yet so we'll see. I picked up the first two issues of Flash Rebirth on a slow week so I may get the third issue. Maybe not this week though. As for Deadpool, I still haven't decided if I'm going to continue on with the book. I made the early decision to stay on through the Thunderbolts crossover but now that it's over I haven't decided if I'm going through with it yet. I'll probably thumb through it at the shop and decide then.

As for the others... eh, I just feel like buying them.

 

[Dread]

Yeah, Doom's been doing a lot of losing, being arrested, bowing, knowtowing, and fretting over reformed man-purse using menaces for a while now. It is annoying.

You'd never seen anyone dismissing Purple Man like that these days.
