DC COMICS

BATMAN STREETS OF GOTHAM #16 $3.99
FLASH #5 (BRIGHTEST DAY) $2.99
G I COMBAT #1 $3.99
GREEN LANTERN CORPS #52 (BRIGHTEST DAY) $2.99

JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #49 (BRIGHTEST DAY) $3.99
LEGION OF SUPER HEROES #5 $3.99
SUPERGIRL #56 $2.99
TELARA CHRONICLES #1 (OF 4) $3.99 - (What's this? Not sure if I'll pick it up or not. Probably siding with not.)

(Of the DC books, Justice League: Generation Lost is easily the best. Streets Of Gotham is soon to be cancelled. It's simply not worth the price; but, I'll make sure it doesn't have any Return Of Bruce Wayne tie-in in a month or two before I drop it. Plus, I like to finish a storyline before ending a title.)

IMAGE COMICS

DYNAMO 5 SINS OF THE FATHER #4 (OF 5) $3.99
IMAGE FIRSTS I KILL GIANTS #1 $1.00

(Here is a great chance for all of you that have heard us recommend I Kill Giants to give it a cheap try! You can't beat a buck!!! Too bad only Dread and I are reading Dynamo 5, though.)

MARVEL COMICS

ASTONISHING X-MEN XENOGENESIS #3 (OF 5) $3.99
AVENGERS #5 $3.99
AVENGERS ACADEMY #4 $2.99
BLACK WIDOW #6 $2.99
DARK TOWER GUNSLINGER JOURNEY BEGINS #5 (OF 5) $3.99
DEADPOOL TEAM-UP #889 $2.99
FANTASTIC FOUR #583 THREE $2.99 - (Part of me is really, really groaning over this "Three" idea. How many times has Fantastic Four revisited the idea that the F4 loses one of their members. For a good year, we had no Reed Richards. And, the F4 just recently had a split when Black Panther and Storm took over for the Richards.)
HEROIC AGE ONE MONTH TO LIVE #4 (OF 5) $2.99
HIT-MONKEY #3 (OF 3) $2.99 - (I love Hit-Monkey. I hope we get more of this character in the future.)
HULK #25 $3.99
MARVEL SUPER SPECIAL #1 $9.99 - (Anyone know what this is? Not sure if it's just reprints or what.)
NEMESIS #3 (OF 4) (MR) $2.99
SECRET AVENGERS #5 $3.99
SENSE & SENSIBILITY #5 (OF 5) $3.99
SHADOWLAND DAUGHTERS OF SHADOW #2 (OF 3) SL $3.99

ULTIMATE COMICS SPIDER-MAN #14 $3.99
UNCANNY X-MEN #528 $3.99
X-CAMPUS #4 (OF 4) $4.99

(Looking at this list of Marvel comics, nothing is just screaming "I gotta read this NOW." Best of the bunch is probably Daughters Of Shadow, Avengers Academy, and Hit-Monkey. The worst is EASILY X-Campus. I haven't even found the nerve to read issues #2 and 3 yet. They sit at the back of my "Must Read" box.)

COMICS

DRACULA COMPANY OF MONSTERS #2 $3.99 - (Decent first issue. I better remember to tell my shop to get me down for this book.)
KATO ORIGINS WAY O/T NINJA #4 $3.99
MUPPET SHOW #10 $2.99
PATRICIA BRIGGS MERCY THOMPSON MOON CALLED #1 $3.99
PROJECT SUPERPOWERS CHAPTER TWO #12 $2.99
- (Final issue! Sounds like everyone is gonna end up back in the Urn. I sure hope not; I'd love to see these characters continue...but, maybe only JH and I are reading this book. Too bad.)

 

[TheCorpulent1]

DC COMICS
FABLES #98 (MR) $2.99
GREEN LANTERN CORPS #52 (BRIGHTEST DAY) $2.99
JUSTICE LEAGUE GENERATION LOST #10 (BRIGHTEST DAY) $2.99
WILDCATS VERSION 3.0 YEAR ONE TP $24.99 (Probably. I originally read this through somewhat disreputable means since it was out of print by then. Plus it was totally awesome and I kind of want to re-read it.)

IMAGE COMICS
IMAGE FIRSTS I KILL GIANTS #1 $1.00 (Not buying this since I've now bought the issues, the trade, and the hardcover at this point, but I'm glad Image is reprinting it cheap for those who may have missed it or passed. )

MARVEL COMICS
AVENGERS ACADEMY #4 $2.99
FANTASTIC FOUR #583 THREE $2.99 (EPTING!)
SECRET AVENGERS #5 $3.99
THOR #615 $3.99 (Fingers crossed. Please let this be one of your not-sucky series, Fraction.)

 

[runawayboulder]

Thanks Tron!

AVENGERS #5 - on the chopping block
AVENGERS ACADEMY #4
NEMESIS #3
SECRET AVENGERS #5 - I'm hoping this arc will be better than the previous
THOR #615 - gonna give it a shot
UNCANNY X-MEN #528 - counting the days to Gillen

 

[CaptainCanada]

MARVEL COMICS

BLACK WIDOW #6 $2.99 - I'll give Swierczynski an issue.
FANTASTIC FOUR #583 THREE $2.99 - this is the arc where everything comes together, supposedly.
SECRET AVENGERS #5 $3.99 - first arc was okay, but I'm really interested in the mega-arc.
THOR #615 $3.99 - may give Fraction a shot.
UNCANNY X-MEN #528 $3.99 - Portacio's art is kind of bringing down what is otherwise decent writing.

 

[Dread]

DYNAMO 5: SINS OF THE FATHER #4
AVENGERS ACADEMY #4
DEADPOOL TEAM-UP #889 (if this is indeed Jeff Parker's Gorilla Man team up)
FANTASTIC FOUR #583
SECRET AVENGERS #5
SHADOWLAND: MOON KNIGHT #2
THOR #615

Hopefully, Marvel's promotional strategy of, "now it counts because someone's gonna die" with Fantastic Four helps. The book's sales aren't near cancellation at any rate, but are still at five year lows.

Two issues of Thor in a month, eh? Guess we'll have a taste of Fraction soon enough. On a $4 book, my patience is not as vast as on a $3 book.

I like Secret Avengers in theory, but Brubaker may have just one more arc to win me over, after the botched ending of his first. Otherwise, he just may not be cut out for team books for me.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm a little worried about Secret Avengers myself. The world of martial arts in the Marvel universe really doesn't interest me. Immortal Iron Fist was something of a fluke for me in that respect.

 

[runawayboulder]

Actually come to think of it, isn't SA #5 supposed to be a bridge between the 1st and 2nd arcs? It's gonna explain the whole Fury thing and set up the Shang-Chi issues.

 

[SpideyInATree]

FABLES #98 (MR)
FLASH #5 (BRIGHTEST DAY)
GREEN LANTERN CORPS #52 (BRIGHTEST DAY)
FANTASTIC FOUR #583 THREE
ULTIMATE COMICS SPIDER-MAN #14

Decently stacked week. Looking forward to how the new FF storyline turns out. It's always great seeing an issue of Flash for that beautiful, beautiful Frances Manapul artwork.

 

[CantThinkOfAName]

BATMAN STREETS OF GOTHAM #16 $3.99 - if Dini is writing it, he ditches this book like no other
AVENGERS #5 $3.99
DARK TOWER GUNSLINGER JOURNEY BEGINS #5 (OF 5) $3.99
FANTASTIC FOUR #583 THREE $2.99
SECRET AVENGERS #5 $3.99
THOR MIGHTY AVENGER DOUBLE RAINBOW (PP #934) $3.99 - haha, what?
ULTIMATE COMICS MYSTERY #3 (OF 4) $3.99
ULTIMATE COMICS SPIDER-MAN #14 $3.99

 

[Ipodman]

I picked up Secret Avengers 1 - 4 all in one shot and enjoyed it... but the upcoming story doesnt seem to interest me so im gonna skip it for now

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Actually come to think of it, isn't SA #5 supposed to be a bridge between the 1st and 2nd arcs? It's gonna explain the whole Fury thing and set up the Shang-Chi issues.

Oh yeah, I think this is the Fury issue. Good, this one should at least be good, then. Brubaker writes a good Fury (assuming it is Fury--my money's still on an LMD).

PROJECT SUPERPOWERS CHAPTER TWO #12 $2.99

Maybe
HULK #25 $3.99

I'll start off by saying that Hulk is 99% likely to be a no. It's a pime comic to drop with it being $4 and last issue being a great jumping off point. I'm sure Parker will do fine with it and I'm curious what becomes of the Red Hulk, but I need to drop stuff. However, that said, I do like the character and the writer so I'll at least skim it. If it shows promise then I may consider picking it up, but not likely.

As for the rest, I'm mostly excited for the conclusion to the second chapter of Project Superpowers! It's been great and I'm REAL curious what becomes of the final issue, and I'm curious what comes next. I know Alex Ross has mentioned that they have a chapter 3 planned if sales hold up but I don't know how well the sales have been. I've also heard of and have seen promo sketches for a The Ghost mini, which so far hasn't seen the light of day, so that makes me nervous.

Other than that it looks like Titans got pushed back a week, which is fine being that it was tight for me anyhow. I've been liking GL: Corps and I'm eager to see Hannu in the limelight, as I like the underdog characters. Uncanny X-Men has been crap and I'm at least finishing out this arc before deciding if I'm actually going to try and drop it. I just can't justify the horrible quality of writing and art for $4. It really isn't worth it. That leaves the three Avenger titles. I know I'm getting this issue of Academy to finish out the arc but it's issue by issue after that. Avengers proper has been decent so I'm curious what happens there, and Secret Avengers has been a big let down so far so I'm hoping this second arc picks up. If not the I may consider dropping it. I'm excited to see Prince of Orphans though

 

[JewishHobbit]

PROJECT SUPERPOWERS CHAPTER TWO #12 $2.99
- (Final issue! Sounds like everyone is gonna end up back in the Urn. I sure hope not; I'd love to see these characters continue...but, maybe only JH and I are reading this book. Too bad.)

Ross said they have plans for a Chapter 3 but I guess they could write this as a conclusion if they know sales don't justify. Man I hope they do have one though. I've not heard of any cancelation news for Black Terror though so I'm holding out hope!

UNCANNY X-MEN #528 - counting the days to Gillen

I'm assuming you mean the Five Lights ongoing, because if there's been a writing change announcement for Uncanny that I've not heard about I'm going to crap monkey happiness all up in this place.

 

[mjdiddy1]

Supergirl #56
Dynamo 5 #4-Invincible right...
Astonishing X-Men XENOGENESIS #3
Avengers #5
Avengers Academy #4-Loving this book
Black Widow #6

I started a thread about it yesterday but it got merged with the X-Men thread, go check for the link there.

 

[Dark Victory]

ULTIMATE COMICS SPIDER-MAN #14 $3.99

Just one.

Doubt I'll even make it to the store to pick it up 'til next week.
