Shopping List for 9/27/06

[De Carabas]

Diamond hasn't finalized the week's list yet, so there may be changes.

52: Week Twenty-One
I'm still liking it, but there are certain plots I've lost interest in, so that affects my enjoyment of each issue.
Justice vol. 1 HC
I'm unsure about this, but it might be the first thing I read.
Loser vol. 5: Endgame TP
Did this end where Diggle wanted it to, or was this a premature end?
Otherworld vol. 1: Book One TP
Glad to see this is getting collected. All that finger-crossing paid off.

Lions, Tigers, & Bears vol 2 #3
Love this sereis, but I unfortunately fell into that self-trade pattern of reading.

Captain America #22
Civil War Frontline #6
A nice little cluster of CW books.
Daredevil #89
I should really wait on this series, but I'm enjoying it too much.

Just started looking at the new comics list in prep for recording the podcast tonight.

Wow, that's a LOT of comics this week. Heck, I could probably do a Top Ten HC and TPB list this week. I might entertain the notion of doing a Top 20 list this week, even.

Hmmm, decisions, decisions.

Huge week for me! Time to start making some cuts again.

Wizard Comics Magazine Civil War X Men Cvr #181, $5.99 - have a subscription and it will arrive eventually.

Cut that and there's $5.99 you can have back! :D

[torippu]

Cut that and there's $5.99 you can have back! :D

My folks renew it for me on a annual basis, so technically I get this for free! :D

[Augie De Blieck Jr.]

And that, truly, is the price worth paying for WIZARD. I'm surprised they haven't adopted Comic Sans yet as their font of choice.

Dude, a free pile of dung is still just a pile of dung. Ask for the cash instead!

[De Carabas]

Every year, when it is time to either renew or change the periodical subscriptions for the library, my co-workers always bug me about Wizard. I know I should get it for the branch. I acknowledge this. I mean, the teens will love it (bless their ignorant little hearts). But I just can't do it. Can't. Do. It.

Until Ebsco carries CBG, it's going to have to be Shonen Jump and Shojo Beat.

DC COMICS

52 Week #21: Feels good. Feels real good.
Batman #657: Some nice father son time.
Blue Beetle #7: This is the book I am most disappointed in. I so desperately wish to keep it, but evrery issue after the second has let me down. I may check back in on it later.
Justice Vol 1 HC: No explanation necessary.
Losers: Endgame TPB: Alas, we come to an end. I'm hoping for a few mini-series or something down the line. Yeah, I know, it's been optioned for a movie. Not the same.

MARVEL COMICS

Daredevil #89: The only Marvel I read is Brubaker (and soon Matt Fraction on Punisher: War Zone). Daredevil actually. I read his first two Uncanny X-men. I can wait for the tpb on those.

[torippu]

DC COMICS
Blue Beetle #7: This is the book I am most disappointed in. I so desperately wish to keep it, but evrery issue after the second has let me down. I may check back in on it later.

I completely agree with your assessment. I dropped it with issue #5, but don't plan on going back (unless Ted Kord is somehow resurrected from the dead to take back the mantle of the Blue Beetle).

[torippu]

Dude, a free pile of dung is still just a pile of dung. Ask for the cash instead!

Guess I'm the black sheep of the bunch. I don't out and out hate the magazine. Yes, I think that from time to time, the whole of it is pretty useless, but it does give me something to read when I reach the bottom of my reading pile (which does actually happen from time to time).

[goman]

DC
52: Week 21 In it for the long haul. Can you believe we're almost half way done? Are the doing anything special for weeks 26 or 27?

Secret Six #4 At least as good as the mini series.

Supergirl and the Legion#22 So many ongoing stories in this. This is my soap opera superhero book of the week.

Vertigo
Jack of Fables #3 I like that this has been a lot like Fables, but different in it's own way. Feels like it should be an extended min, rather than a full on going.

Wildstorm
Ninja Scroll #1 cause I'm a big anime nerd, and I've loved the movie since High School. if it's bad, I'll drop it quick.

Marvel
CW: Front Line #6 If for the Sppedball section only. Should I just stop reading before the last two pages?

CW: Young Avengers and Runaways #3 Second issue saved this one for me. For some reason I didn't like the art in issue 1 but I liked it in issue 2. Weird.

Eternals #4 Good stuff, what else can I say.

She-Hulk #12 I still don't know why I buy this. I like it, but it doesn't blow my socks off like it used to. I'm still sucked into the story though.

Ultimate Spidey #100 Still good after all this time. fearing what will happen when bagley leaves though. He's been my Spidey artist of choice since I started reading comics.

Ulitmates #12 I'll add my voice to the chorus and say "What happened in issue 11?" It's still good but seriously, where were we?

Viz Media
Shonen Jump Monthly manga goodness. Yes, I know, I'm way outside the target age for this, but it's still fun comics.

Previews Hopefully there's some good indie stuff this month. The last few months have been a little thin. But I guess it saves me money. Take the good with the bad.

Trades to possibly buy
JSA: Vol 11
Losers:Endgame
Superman: Up, Up, and Away

More than likely, Losers will end up coming home and the other two will go back to the pull box for a later week. It's the only one I'm really excited about.

[Augie De Blieck Jr.]

DC
Marvel
CW: Front Line #6 If for the Sppedball section only. Should I just stop reading before the last two pages?

Most likely, yes. And I'm a big Billy Joel fan.
