Thanks TMOB!

DARK HORSE COMICS

MIND MGMT #2 $3.99 - (Good first issue. The writer is trying to make a book that appeals to the monthly comic reader. Instead of extra material appearing in a trade later down the road, this book's extras appear in the regular comic form and won't be available by trade.)
ORCHID #8 (MR) $3.50

DC COMICS

ACTION COMICS #11 $3.99 - (Thank you, Marvel, for not charging me a buck extra for your digital comics. Booo, to DC!)
ANIMAL MAN #11 $2.99 - (While I'm still enjoying this book and Swamp Thing, I'm finding myself bored with the whole Rot and Green thing that is the center villian of both books. I hope DC has some end point in mind for these storylines.)
BATMAN EARTH ONE HC $22.99
BATWING #11 $2.99 - (I should cancel this book.)
BEFORE WATCHMEN OZYMANDIAS #1 (OF 6) (MR) $3.99
DETECTIVE COMICS #11 $3.99
DIAL H #3 $2.99
EARTH 2 #3 $2.99 - (Second issue was better than the first; but, it seems like a cheap ploy of DC to gain media attention and viewers by making Green Lantern gay.)
FAIREST #5 (MR) $2.99
GI COMBAT #3 $3.99 - (Gotta tell my shop to drop this one, too.)
GREEN ARROW #11 $2.99 - (Three writers since this book began; and, it's not really any better. Another DC title on my cancel list.)
HE MAN AND THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE #1 (OF 6) $2.99
IZOMBIE #27 (MR) $2.99
JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL #11 $2.99 - (This title is being cancelled next month, I believe. Too bad, because I finally read issues 2-10 and they were pretty darn entertaining.)
NIGHT FORCE #5 (OF 7) $2.99 - (Bad title. Only reason I won't cancel it is because it's only got three issues left to go.)
RED LANTERNS #11 $2.99
SCOOBY DOO WHERE ARE YOU #23 $2.99
SHOWCASE PRESENTS SHOWCASE TP VOL 01 $19.99
SMALLVILLE SEASON 11 #3 $3.99

IDW PUBLISHING

CAPE 1969 #1 (OF 4) $3.99 - (A good first mini. Oh, and it's not based on the tv series, which surprised me. Can't wait to see what the second series brings.)
POPEYE #3 $3.99 - (Very good comic based on the old Popeye cartoon series. My daughter and I really enjoyed the first two issues.)
ROCKETEER ADVENTURES 2 #4 (OF 4) $3.99
TRANSFORMERS ROBOTS IN DISGUISE ONGOING #7 $3.99 - (Gotta cancel these books, too. Too many Transformers, and I can never figure out who is who.)

[CrimsonMist]

ANIMAL MAN #11 $2.99 - this is probably my last issue. I'm getting bored by the pacing. The past few issues have been real filler and the only thing keeping it interesting is the family dynamic.

EARTH 2 #3 $2.99 - was gonna drop this but then I bought the Starman Omnibus vol. 1 and love the way Robinson wrote the golden age heroes. So I'm sticking with this.

SWAMP THING #11 $2.99 - Like Animal Man, this is probably my last issue unless something awesome happens. I'm getting bored by it, and unlike Animal Man, the dynamic between the main characters isn't very interesting.

FURY MAX #4 (MR) $3.99 - This has been one of my favorite books since issue 1. I'm really happy that this is 13 issues long, too. Ennis writing a Nick Fury book is always golden.

PUNISHER #13 $2.99 - I actually considered dropping this book at issue 11, but stuck with it for issue 12 and I'm glad I did because the second half of that issue was incredible. Hopefully things really start moving now.


PUNISHER BY RICK REMENDER OMNIBUS HC $99.99 - I'm actually not buying this. I just want to state that I'd really love it if Marvel did a Punisher by Jason Aaron omnibus hardcover. It would look nice next to all my Ennis Punisher hardcovers.

 

[Lord Fanny]

ACTION COMICS #11 $3.99 - (Thank you, Marvel, for not charging me a buck extra for your digital comics. Booo, to DC!)

When you really look at the prices in comparison between the two, I really think the Boo goes to another of the big two, eh?
