[Tron Bonne]

Woah, how weird is this, huh? Well, I happened to come to class today and lo and behold, my class was canceled, so I got some extra free time waiting for my next one and thought, What the hell.

[Phaedrus45]

Nice surprise on a rainy, Monday morning. Thanks, Tron.

DC COMICS

ACTION COMICS #2 $3.99 - (I'm about the only person who found issue one only okay. I just hope we get a bit more originality with the second issue.)
ANIMAL MAN #2 $2.99
BATWING #2 $2.99 - (This book is on the cusp. I'll probably give the first storyline a chance, and decide from there.)
DC UNIVERSE ONLINE LEGENDS #15 $2.99
DETECTIVE COMICS #2 $2.99
GREEN ARROW #2 $2.99 - (Already cancelled. This was to be my final issue; but, a new writer is coming soon. Maybe I better hold on until that happens. Not sure.)
HAWK AND DOVE #2 $2.99 - (I love the Dove and Deadman romance; but, not sure if that will sustain me to keep this book beyond the first storyline.)
HOUSE OF MYSTERY #42 (MR) $2.99
HUNTRESS #1 (OF 6) $2.99
IZOMBIE #18 (MR) $2.99
JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL #2 $2.99 - (Probably the most disappointing book of the first week. I expected more. This might get dropped soon.)
MEN OF WAR #2 $3.99
OMAC #2 $2.99 - (This is the book from the first week of the New 52 that I'm looking forward to the most.)
PENGUIN PAIN AND PREJUDICE #1 (OF 5) $2.99
RED LANTERNS #2 $2.99
SCOOBY DOO WHERE ARE YOU #14 $2.99
STATIC SHOCK #2 $2.99 - (Cancelled. This is my last issue.)
STORMWATCH #2 $2.99 - (Same as above. Cancelled.)
SUPERNATURAL #1 (OF 6) $2.99
SWAMP THING #2 $2.99
SWEET TOOTH #26 (MR) $2.99

IMAGE COMICS

INFINITE #3 DELUXE ED $5.99 - (I can't believe I'm saying this; but, I'm enjoying this book a lot more than I thought I would. Sure, it's very much like early Image; but, at least it's good early Image. I do still get the feeling the Liefeld is just using his old artwork, and making little tweaks to change some things. It seems like I've seen all these poses before.)
NETHERWORLD #4 (OF 5) (MR) $3.99
SEVERED #3 (OF 7) (MR) $2.99 - (First issue was fantastic, and the second was only okay. It is written by two writers; so, I wonder how much Snyder had to do with the second issue.)
STRANGE TALENT OF LUTHER STRODE #1 (OF 6) $2.99
WALKING DEAD #89 (MR) $2.99
WHO IS JAKE ELLIS #5 (MR) $2.99

MARVEL COMICS

AVENGERS 1959 #1 (OF 5) $2.99 - (Small week for Marvel. Well, I enjoyed the Avengers 1959 version from Bendis' previous storyline quite a bit; so, I'm a rare person looking forward to this second issue.)
CASANOVA AVARITIA #2 (OF 4) (MR) $4.99 - (I'm excited to see what the Kung Fu Panda has to do with this issue. Still, I found this new series not on equal par with the previous two.)
DARK TOWER GUNSLINGER BATTLE OF TULL #5 (OF 5) $3.99
DEADPOOL #44 $2.99 - (Please, Marvel, get a new writer for this book! It is bordering on unreadable. Or, maybe I should say it's bordering on readable, as this last storyline has really disgusted me.)
HULK #42 $2.99 - (Parker has turned this book into an Atlas clone. Needless to say, I'm not happy.)
MOON KNIGHT #6 $3.99
MYSTIC #3 (OF 4) $2.99
SPIDER-ISLAND HEROES FOR HIRE #1 SPI $2.99
SUPERIOR #5 (OF 6) (MR) $2.99
THUNDERBOLTS #164 $2.99
X-23 #15 $2.99
X-MEN #19 $3.99
X-MEN SCHISM #5 (OF 5) $3.99

AVENGERS 1959 #1 (OF 5) $2.99
CASANOVA AVARITIA #2 (OF 4) (MR) $4.99- Last issue kind of justified you saying that Fear Itself was like Frank Miller's Daredevil

Nice small week. I'm really looking forward to the second issues of Animal Man and Swamp Thing. And I did enjoy JLI so I'm eager to see if I continue liking this team. And I'm gald for these DC because I don't think I'd even bother driving out there for only two Marvel books. Having dropped Moon Knight and this arc of X-Men there really wasn't much else to pick from. I always like X-23 and while I'm curious how Schism ends I'm kinda dreading it. I hate the idea of the new direction and I hate seeing it playing out. The plot might be good but I know I'll just be in a bad mood after reading the issue that's overpriced to begin with.

I've been going back and forth on continuing Daredevil, and I'm still not completely convinced, but I think I'm leaning toward continuing with it so I may take this light week to go ahead and pick up the two issues I've been holding out on.

You're buying Detective and not Swamp Thing?

Get out. Get the hell out of my house. Right now.

I read it and thought it was okay. Maybe because there seemed to be a lot of backstory with Superman which I didn't get. I mean, I'm sure it will pick up, maybe I'll get it, but I never read any Swamp Thing before so I don't have an appeal for the character. But I know Snyder is good.

Detective is actually a maybe. Action, Batman, Wonder Woman, Animal Man, and Batwoman are my only definite buys for the new 52. I'll probably keep up with Frankenstein for a bit

And, I mean, you're reading X-Men Schism, so how much leverage do ou really have to tell me what to read?
