AVENGERS ASSEMBLE #2 WITH DIG CDE $3.99

I'm not sure if I want to pick up Grifter or not. I enjoyed the first 3 or 4 issues but dropped it due to overspending. I've dropped a bunch since then and miss the title and am thinking about getting caught back up. We'll see.

Avengers Assemble I've not decided if I will continue with.

And what is the BN: Special Edition? I liked Blackest Night but I hadn't heard about this. Not keen on spending $5 on a comic so it'd have to be amazing for me to buy it.

 

[JewishHobbit]

AVENGERS VS X-MEN #1 (OF 12) 2ND PTG CHEUNG VAR AVX $3.99

Huh? The first print hasn't even come out yet and it's not schedualed on Diamond for this Wednesday. Did I miss something?

 

[runawayboulder]

Huh? The first print hasn't even come out yet and it's not schedualed on Diamond for this Wednesday. Did I miss something?

Yeah, they announced that it was going to a second printing about a month ago. It looks like Marvel will sneak back into the top 10 sales for April. And AvX #1 is shipping on Tuesday to comics shops to avoid any issues with the release date and they are warning the shops to not release early. I'm sure it will hit the net.

 

[JewishHobbit]

No problem here. My shop doesn't open on Tuesdays and they don't bother with pre-sales or events or anything. Honestly, no one would come most likely.

[Themanofbat]

It boggles my mind on how I hear "how" some of your comic shops work...

I live in a city with a population of 135 000, and we have THREE comic shops where 2 of them are thriving and one gets by.... yet I keep hearing stories about ONE comic shop in a city of 250 000 struggling to make ends meet... and all 3 of my shops go out of their way with promotions and special "events"... christ, you should see the balloons and hot dogs that are given away (along with tons of free books) on FCBD...

MAYBE
ABE SAPIEN TP VOL 02 DEVIL DOES NOT JEST $17.99
-This was supposed to come out in May. Dark Horse pulled the same thing with their BPRD: War On Frog Vol. 3 HC two weeks ago. It wasn't supposed to come out until next week. While normally I don't mind, funds are tighter than usual.

SEVERED HC (MR) $24.99
-This was originally solicited for earlier this year and it never came out. I'll give it a wait though. As I said, funds are tight.

ALABASTER WOLVES #1 (OF 5) RUTH CVR $3.50
-Sounds kinda neat. The Hellboy/BPRD editors have been praising it in the letters column the past few weeks. I may check it out. It's a small week otherwise.

Batwoman just doesn't interest me. I've heard amazing things about the Rucka/J.H. Williams run before the New 52. I believe it's collected and it's called Elegy but without Rucka involved I'm a little hesitant to give it a shot.

[CConn]

Batwoman just doesn't interest me. I've heard amazing things about the Rucka/J.H. Williams run before the New 52. I believe it's collected and it's called Elegy but without Rucka involved I'm a little hesitant to give it a shot.

But dude, everyone has said that the non-Rucka stuff has been just as good.mI've literally not heard a single person dislike it yet.

And I totally get not being interested in her as a character. I didn't give a **** about her when she was created - but her appeal largely comes from the amazing quality of Williams' art, and the perfect blend of gritty crime drama and whimsical fairy tale that Rucka and Williams have interwoven into her stories.
