3 of the 4 Avengers titles are dropping in the same week? And T-Bolts which is the next tier team book is coming out also? What's with that?

And is AVENGERS & INFINITY GAUNTLET the all ages book?

 

[CaptainCanada]

MARVEL COMICS

NEW MUTANTS #16 $2.99
SECRET AVENGERS #4 $3.99 - liking this book so far.
UNCANNY X-MEN #527 $3.99 - not really liking Portacio's art, but the story is decent so far
WOLVERINE WEAPON X #16 $3.99 - final issue before the relaunch; one imagines Aaron will produce a strong tribute to Nightcrawler.

This will be my first week back at the old LCS in Charlottetown.

 

[Tron Bonne]

And is AVENGERS & INFINITY GAUNTLET the all ages book?

Yes

SHADOWLAND: POWER MAN #1
THUNDERBOLTS #147

Nine books is a heavy week for me, especially with Marvel Pricing (TM). Five are $3.99, and only the Handbook is really justified for being so. For all the misfires and bad decisions that DC usually has under their belt, at least we can say that during the worst recession in 20 years, they've rooked their retailers and fans a lot less than Marvel has.

I am amazed that VENGEANCE OF THE MOON KNIGHT #10 is getting a reprint. I guess people really liked that bonus issue of SECRET AVENGERS. Not a bad sign going into his SL mini.

Wallet moans aside, it looks to be a good week. I will be curious to see the duel of the two Avengers books myself, Academy vs. Secret, in quality in one week. Considering Thunderbolts' sales are slipping, a crossover with Academy is well timed. It won't work for long, because those things rarely do (except for X-FACTOR, which has managed to hold onto sales boosts from crossovers for a while, historically), but it's well timed.

Maybe
THUNDERBOLTS #147 $2.99
AVENGERS ACADEMY #3 $2.99
HULK #24 $3.99


$35 in one week is about ten bucks over my limit. Due to this, Thunderbolts and Avengers Acedemy are on my maybe list. I may get them a week later, or I may just drop them altogether. I've just not been very intrigued with them thus far. And if I'm not mistaken, this may be my second to last issue of Hulk, so that's good. I'm only collecting this one through the Hiro-Kala story.

A nice small week. Jeff Parker must have the same incriminating photos that Tom DeFalco has.

 

[JewishHobbit]

Atlas has had tons of fair shots it seems. People just don't care enough to pick up on it. Myself included.

Holy giant week, Batman!

The final issue of Ex Machina and possibly the last comic that Brian K. Vaughn does.

And, finally, a new issue of Fables. Holy crap I was thinking that they had forgotten to release it!

 

[CantThinkOfAName]

1 FOR DOLLAR USAGI YOJIMBO $1.00 - I wonder what issue of Usagi this will be?
EX MACHINA #50 $4.99 - holy **** I cannot wait. Seriously, Im so excited to see the end of one the best series around

[Tron Bonne]

1 FOR DOLLAR USAGI YOJIMBO $1.00 - I wonder what issue of Usagi this will be?

The very first

The final issue of Ex Machina and possibly the last comic that Brian K. Vaughn does.

Seriously?

 

[Yodaman]

STAR WARS LEGACY #50
BATMAN STREETS OF GOTHAM #15

ATLAS #4

 

[Dread]

Seriously?

Brian K. Vaughan has at least written scripts for film treatments of "Y: THE LAST MAN" (which is in the middle of pre-production purgatory at New Line Cinema) and "RUNAWAYS" (which Marvel Studios is casting and will begin filming in Jan. 2011).

[SpideyInATree]

Seriously?

Seems to be the consensus. He's writing for television and movies now. That's going to pay a lot more money than comic scripts.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Meh, f*** 'em. Comics still have plenty of writers who are as good as or better than Vaughan. Best of luck to him in his film/TV career. At least he's not being a dick about it like Heinberg.
