DC COMICS

ACTION COMICS #850 (NOTE PRICE) $3.99 - (If this book doesn't improve, I'm going to drop it very soon. Last issue was absolutely abysmal.)
AMAZONS ATTACK #2 (OF 6) $2.99 - (I know a lot of you didn't like the first issue; but, I'm not a DC expert and it was pretty cool to me.)
COUNTDOWN 48 $2.99 - (Another good 52 issue series for me so far...but, a lot of the stories seem borrowed from the previous. My biggest complaint is very little originality here. It kind of screams DC is trying to bank on its previous success.)
DEATHBLOW #5 $2.99 - (I'm dropping this title soon, too. Comes out too infrequent and, so far, nothing that good.)
GREEN LANTERN #20 $2.99 - (I'm so looking forward to Sinestro Corps storyline. The backup stories, Tales of Sinestro Corps totally steals attention away from Hal's adventures.)
JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA #6 $2.99 - (Best DC story, period. Can't wait.)
TEEN TITANS #47 $2.99 - (I'm dropping this too if it doesn't improve. Guess I'm waiting to see if issue #50 brings any changes.)

MARVEL COMICS

ANITA BLAKE VAMPIRE HUNTER GUILTY PLEASURES HANDBOOK $3.99
DAREDEVIL #97 $2.99
MAGICIAN APPRENTICE #7 (OF 12) $2.99 - (After the original artist was shelved, I just haven't gotten into this one.)
NEW AVENGERS ILLUMINATI #3 (OF 5) $2.99
NEW EXCALIBUR #20 $2.99
PUNISHER PRESENTS BARRACUDA MAX #4 (OF 5) (MR) $3.99 - (I liked when I heard that Barracuda was getting his own comic mini...but, the last two issues were kind of .... crass. I guess it shoved every black stereotype into its pages, I felt almost ashamed to be reading it.)
SILENT WAR #5 (OF 6) $2.99 - (Great mini.)
SILVER SURFER REQUIEM #1 (OF 4) $3.99
SPIDER-MAN FAIRY TALES #1 $2.99 - (I'm only getting this because I get all of Marvel's weekly comics. But, X-Men Fairy Tales was so awful, I'm not expecting very much from it.)
ULTIMATE FANTASTIC FOUR #42 $2.99 - (The new writer has started to grow on me. I'm finally getting excited about the Ultimate line-up again.)
WOLVERINE #54 $2.99 - (I'm bored to tears with Wolverine/Sabretooth. Enough already. This story is boring the hell out of me.)
X-23 TARGET X #6 (OF 6) $3.99 - (The minis make X-23 much more interesting than the regular X-titles do.)

Yay!

I thought you said you read Invincible. Liar!

 

[Darthphere]

I thought you said you read Invincible. Liar!

I do. In trades.

 

[PhotoJones]

I figured as much. I couldn't wait for the trades if I wanted to.

BLUE BEETLE #15
INVINCIBLE #41
NEW AVENGERS: ILLUMINATI #3 (which is late; shocking!)
ULTIMATE FANTASTIC FOUR #42

Small week to finish off May, a day before I graduate with my bachelor's degree. But who cares? I nitpick MIGHTY AVENGERS.

Hopefully, Invincible isn't doing it's usual "will actually come out the week AFTER it is originally solicted", because it's always a shining jewel and I hate teases. Hopefully the $1.99 pricetag to attract new readers works well, but I am too cynical to believe it will. It'd be a miracle to see any issue of Invincible sell within the Top 100, even at #100. I'd love to be proven wrong, though, because it's awesome.

NEW AVENGERS: ILLUMINATI is running late, but it's not a tight serial like some other arcs so it's not too big a concern. Carey on UFF isn't terrible, but his starting arcs just haven't been clicking with me like they should. His annual was better than all of his regular issue work, IMO, but you could say the same of Kirkman on Ult. XM. Carey's debut with the Ultimate Mad Thinker was alright, if marred by Jae Lee being miscast on art. His ULTIMATE X4 was solid, dumb hero fun. His "God War" was ambitious but overly complicated, and the only benefit that his Ultimate Diablo arc has is low expectations, since 616 Diablo is a C-List turd. Maybe I am too used to the uber-hi-tech, black leather nihilism of Ultimate's launch to be able to accept things like magic existing in it.

Early congrats on the degree, man.

What're you going to be when you grow up?

 

[Darthphere]

I figured as much. I couldn't wait for the trades if I wanted to.

I found that sex with the Invincible hardcovers is a lot better than single issues.

 

[PhotoJones]

I found that sex with the Invincible hardcovers is a lot better than single issues.

Not true. The single issues are more flexible.

 

[Dread]

Early congrats on the degree, man.

What're you going to be when you grow up?

Thanks.

If I told you, everyone would fear for the world. I come off so bitter and cynical here it's almost hard for ME to believe what my major is.

As for INVINCIBLE, I started out on the HC's and TPB's to catch up, but I just can't wait long enough for each trade. I like it too much.
