is it me or has this been missing for awhile?

From DC:
Birds of Prey #108 - enjoy this series. honesly i would switch to trade except that they take SO long to be collected
Black Canary #2 (of 4) - wonderfully enjoyed the first issue
Brave & the Bold #5 - was a lil lost last issue too, but i'll see the arc out
Justice League of America #11 - please pick up the pace.

and maybe All-Flash #1. might be interesting.

From Marvel:
Avengers The Initiative #4 - not hot about the WWH tie-in, but love the series
Captain America Vol 5 #28 - it's not that the book is bad, but i'm seriously considering switching to trades because this book reads better that way.
Order Vol 2 #1 - the previews have sold me

And maybe Super-Villain Team-Up MODOKs 11 #1 $2.99. looks like it might be fun, but i don't know if i WANT to pick up another new book considering there's already All-Flas and Order this week.

Read MONSTER ATTACK NETWORK last night. Fun book.

And, yes, it IS a big week -- San Diego is next week, after all. Expect next week's shipment to be just as big, I'd bet.

ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #111 $2.99 - :( & :)

I completely forgot that this was shipping with two covers so I ended up getting both of them.

I also want to say that the art from Andrea DiVito looked really nice in the WWH: X-Men #2 issue that shipped yesterday. I was going to avoid all other crossovers, but Christos Gage & Andrea have piqued my interest. Anyone have any opinions if this books is worth a looksie?

[pmpknface]

I liked #1, but I won't get #2 until Monday.

And, yes, it IS a big week -- San Diego is next week, after all. Expect next week's shipment to be just as big, I'd bet.

I have yet to look at the diamond shipping list for next week, but with SDCC coming up, I'm hoping that we'll see the release of about 14 Kirkman books. He always seems to have the latest issues/TPB/HC out in time for the big shows.

A big week, between last week and this week, I had a pretty good haul. (Only those marked with an asterix were preserved.)

DC
* Army At Love #5 $2.99
This book is waaay smarter than me. It's like reading a novel. I appreciate all it does for the comic book medium.
Catwoman Vol 3 #69 $2.99
* Justice League Of America Vol 2 #11 Regular Michael Turner Cover $2.99
I liked it. Explained a lot of last issue and the focus on only 2 characters was intense!
* Spirit Vol 6 #8 $2.99
Though not fully done by Cooke himself, I really enjoyed the way this was laid out in terms of storytelling.

Marvel
* Ghost Rider Vol 5 #13 $2.99
This was sooo cool!! Now that's the kind of power I like to see in my GR!! ;)
* New X-Men Vol 2 #40 $2.99
The Hell continues, but in a very, very good way.

Dark Horse
Conan #42 $2.99
Goon Vol 3 #19 $2.99

Devils Due Publishing
Hack Slash #3 Cvr A Seeley $3.50

Dynamite Entertainment
* Lone Ranger Vol 4 #7 Regular On Horse Cover $2.99
There was some actual flow to this issue, and it moved along rather nicely. The issue felt short and fast, but the picked up pace was a great change.

Kenzer & Company
Knights Of The Dinner Table #129 $4.99

Mirage Studios
* Tales Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #36 $3.25
Wow. City at War was a loooong time ago, it was kinda cool to see the grim and gritty turtles in action again.
