Yikes - another spendy week for me!:eek:

DARK HORSE
Fear Agent #24 (I Against I Part 3 of 3), $2.99 - Always a good read. A little concerned about the future of the book with Jerome Opena launching a new Punisher book with Remender over at Marvel.

DC COMICS
Birds Of Prey #123, $2.99 - Been reading since the beginning but am leaning towards dropping the book at the conclusion of this arc.
Northlanders TP Vol 1 Sven The Returned, $9.99 - 50% discount from DCBS made this a hard deal to pass up.
Superman New Krypton Special #1 (Regular Gary Frank Cover), $3.99 - Looking forward to this special.

IMAGE COMICS
Cyblade #1 (Regular Cover B Kenneth Rocafort), $2.99 - Pre-ordered prior to reading the Pilot Season issue, which was probably a mistake. More than likely, this will be one and done for me.
Invincible #54, $2.99 - Kirkman ramping up for guaranteed shipping in 2009?

MARVEL COMICS
Amazing Spider-Man #574, $2.99 - Marvel has been talking up this issue for months so it will be interesting to see if it lives up to the hype.
Captain America #43, $2.99 - A new story arc begins with Luke Ross on art - should be interesting.
Ms Marvel #32, $2.99 - where is this book going now?
New Avengers #46 (Secret Invasion Tie-In), $2.99 - Tired of the SI tie-ins - bring on Dark Reign!
Secret Invasion #7 (Regular Gabriele Dell Otto Cover), $3.99- Wahoo!
Secret Invasion Amazing Spider-Man #3 (of 3), $2.99 - Here's hoping the conclusion is more meaningful than the first 2 parts
Ultimate Spider-Man #127 (Ultimatum Tie-In), $2.99 - Should be a good read.

WARNING SPOILERS!!!!



French Milk (Touchstone/ Simon & Schuster) - by Lucy Knisley. I'm still reading this right now, but it's a quaint little book from a young girl and her time in France. Interest for those in reading things straight from the heart, little observances and good French food.

Ms. Marvel v.?, #32 (Marvel) - by Reed, Siqueira, Santos, Sotomayor, Yardin & Beredo. The art was okay, but the story, dialogue and choice of art was pretty bad. The story was like something out of the Shoot 'em up movie. What happened to her powers?

Fear Agent #24 (Dark Horse Comics) - by Remender, Moore, Lucas, Loughridge, Young, Thompson, Yates, Lowery. The back page writing by Land, on Dryer & Kane was hilarious. I can't believe the wait on this book. It's sooo good, and it leaves you wanting more, but the wait seems too long inbetween. I genuinely feel for all of the characters in this story.

Hulk v.?, #7 (Marvel) - by Loeb, Adams, Wong, Steigerwald, Cho, Keith. Both stories looked good in this issue, but the breakup is a bit disjarring. They were a bit silly, but enjoyable in short doses. Question, how does Moon have the ability to throw his scarabs into Hulk?

The Amazing Spider-Man #568-573 & #567 (Marvel) - by Slott, Romita Jr., Janson, White, Waid, Granov, Olliffe, Lapointe, Beredo, Guggenheim, Jimenez, Lanning, Chuckry. The New Ways to Die storyline was Amazing! One of the best stories. Slott, Romita Jr. and Janson are a great team that puts it all together and lets the reader enjoy every moment. The backups were enjoyable as well. The story of Kraven's family was good, but not as intriguing as the Slott story. The only questions, how does Bullseye survive those hits? 'Yeargh', that's what one sounds like after ebing hit by a bunch of bullets? Venom loves Brock? Why can they be so intelligent but not figure out that Parker is Spider-Man?

@mgs: Yep, Knisley is producing some really nice comics.

Between shipments, but I bought some backissues at ComicAction / international games fair in Essen (and the new Tozo):
