THOR LOST GODS TP $26.99 (Ah, a trade of the Journey into Mystery issues that don't exist, according to Marvel's renumbering. I never did get around to reading this because Warren Ellis' terribletastic arcs before it drove me away from Thor, so I'll pick this up.)
THUNDERBOLTS #155 $2.99

UNCANNY X-MEN ANNUAL #3 $3.99 (Probably. Continues the whole Negative Zone craziness with Blastaar that started in the cosmic line, which has generally been awesome. Time for the heavy-hitters to get involved. )

I'll likely not get Avengers Academy but the other three are still up in the air for me. Alternate future stories with young modern heroes becoming legacy to older modern heroes is an old story that I get bored of reading, so Young Avengers doesn't sound very interesting to me. I don't care to spend $4 on a throwaway X-Men tale but interviews make the Annual actually sound decent... and I like Blastaar. I just have so little interesting in Fear itself but I'll give Book of the Skull a thumb through in the very least to decide if I want to bother.

Maybe:
AVENGERS CRUSADE: YOUNG AVENGERS #1

Looks like a solid week - a month with two issues of THUNDERBOLTS and AVENGERS ACADEMY is a good one for me. Brubaker will have a one shot in which he gets to write something he ONLY gets to write about 7 times a year; a WWII flashback scene with Steve Rogers and/or James Barnes. I swear I have seen more Steve Rogers flashbacks than Santa Clauses on Christmas. While I may have fallen out of love with Fraction on INVINCIBLE IRON MAN and THOR, he at least is still an unknown commodity for a line wide event; unlike Brian Bendis, who has a 0-2-1 record (SIEGE being a tie). THUNDERSTRIKE has been an unexpected pleasure, too.

The iffy is the AVENGERS CRUSADE extra. Issue five should be coming out this month, assuming that Heinberg and Cheung are not running behind on a bimonthly series that is already 5 years behind schedule. That would be embarrassing and predictable. Heinberg certainly had time to help write BATMAN LIVE for DC. As such, this may be "tide the morons over" sort of material, and while Alan Davis art is usually great, nothing screams "filler" than a look at some alternate, future reality. That's why the X-Men do it so often. It keeps them from having had to extend to logical conclusions since 1991.

Currently, this is the heaviest week of March for me. The first two have been light.

Lower case? What the Fudd Phaed? Did you type all that out or something?

 

[Tron Bonne]

When you post something in all Caps without anything lowercase beside it the hype does that. I did that a time or two when I first started doing these lists.

 

[JewishHobbit]

That is wierd

Edit: (Hey... it worked! That is wierd )

When you post something in all Caps without anything lowercase beside it the hype does that. I did that a time or two when I first started doing these lists.

It's 'cause all-caps posts are usually the result of some dummy forgetting to turn off their caps lock and they're kind of annoying to read.

 

[JewishHobbit]

Yeah, but if you WANT all caps for something, it won't let you! When I was running Survivor we were doing a challenge that was going a mile a minute of people on the last leg of guessing the answer to the murder mystery I'd written. Then when Matt guessed it right I was going to respond with a huge HOH!!!! (head of household, which was the prize they were fighting for). But instead all they got was a measily 'hoh' and the effect was lost

But at least now I know why it did it.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

There's never a need for all caps.
