Big week for me again with a couple of questionable pick ups.

Dark Horse:
Ghost in the Shell 1.5:Human Error Proccessor #1(of 8): C'mon, it's Shirow! Whi can say no. Not that it'll make a lick of sense, even after issue 8 comes out, but it will sure look good.

DC Comics:
52:Week 26: Halfway home, to all the haters who said that DC would never make the deadlines for this.

Gotham Central Vol 4: Should bring me up to date on all the issues. They should bring this book back after 52 is done with Montoya. Or do a Rucka written Montoya/Question noir book, set in Gotham.

Wildstorm:
Ex Machina #24: Always a good week when this book shows up.

Manifest Eternity #6: Oh the sad little sci-fi/fantasy book that couldn't. The six of us still reading will miss it.

Ninja Scroll #2: Intrested after issue 1. We'll see how long this could go on for. I'm wondering if this will read better in trades, if so, I need to get off now, or else I be stuck.

Marvel:
Beyond #5 (of 6): Great mini. If you're not reading, make sure you pick up the trade. It's got freaking Dragon-Man in it, a character who is niether a Dragon, nor a Man!

Criminal #2: Augie, I think you'll be okay with not re-reading issue 1 before reading this. There weren't that many characters, and you don't want this to become another Nextwave by waiting for the trade.

Irredeemable Ant-man #2: I saw a lot of negative reviews for the first issue, but I personally enjoyed it. It was some nice in-continuity fun, kind of replacing She-Hulk now that it has taken a turn for the serious lately. Speaking of...

She-Hulk #13: I was thinking of dropping this, but last issue has forced me to stick around for a few more issues. Not bad, just don't love it.

Oni Press:
Local #7 (of 12): Really good series, that you can pick up anywhere, but at this point, are better off waiting for the trade. Can't wait for issue 10.

Viz:
Shonen Jump: new issue of the best toilet reading money can buy. Short, lots of different stories, lots of bang for your buck.

Possibles for this week:
Boom! Studios:
Hero Vol 1: I didn't get this when it showed up a few weeks back, I think I re-ordered it though. We'll find out when I get to the shop.

Dark Horse:
Rex Mundi Vol 1: Not sure if I ordered this or not. I've enjoyed the first two issues of the new ongoing, and even with the very helpful recap page, I have little idea what's going on. I think I'll drop the ongoing and just go with the trades.

DC:
Superman Confidential #1: Another one I'm not sure if I signed up for. If I did I'll get it, if not, I look through. Tim Sale's art is usually enough to get me to buy, but maybe I should just get the trade, especially if the art and writing is going to change from story to story.

JLA #3: Enjoyed the first two issues enough to maybe get this, depending on what else I got.

Image:
Nightly News #1: Kind of hoping I didn't order this. Not really that interested, We'll see if it's in the box. That's a lot of crap for this week and I don't have a ton of cash. Could be painful. Lot's of good stuff though.

I got home from the comic shop tonight and realized I had missed CRIMINAL #2 in my stack. CRAP!

If it makes you feel any better I totally forgot to order the CW CHOOSING SIDES and HEROES FOR HIRE #2. I actually read HfH #3 and was confused as hell.

Here's the haul:

· GOTHAM CENTRAL VOL 4 THE QUICK AND THE DEAD TP - I may have passed because I forgot to order vol 3. I'll be getting to this oen way or another.

· AGENTS OF ATLAS #4 - Excellent mini! Lots o fun!
· BEYOND #5 - Weird, but cool!
· DAILY BUGLE NOVEMBER NEWSPAPER REPLACEMENT - Why not?
· FANTASTIC FOUR FIRST FAMILY TP - Like Augie, was hoping for a HC, but Weston art is the important part here.
· FANTASTIC FOUR THE END #1 - Shoud be waiting, but what the hell...
INCREDIBLE HULK #100 - This is a biggun! And there's a CW tie somehow.
· IRREDEEMABLE ANT-MAN #2 - #1 was fun.
· SHE-HULK 2 #13 - Get ready for She-Hulk: Agent of SHIELD!
UNCANNY X-MEN #480 - Back to space!

· FAMILY GUY VOL 3 GN - Have to get #2, but #1 was cool.
· LADY DEATH BLACKLANDS WRAPAROUND CVR #1 - Still liking..
· LADY DEATH DARK HORIZONS ACTION CVR - Same here.

Trades:

[sschroeder]

· FANTASTIC FOUR THE END #1 - Should be waiting, but what the hell...

I was actually tempted by the rough cut of this more than the regular issue. Pencils, script and no ads. I wondering if they were going to do a rough cut variant for the whole series. I don't think they are, but that would be cool. It might be nice to see how it all comes together from beginning to end at some point. I ended up not buying either one.

Trades:

· AVENGERS NEXT #1 - Digest saves me $.

I see what you are saying. It should make sense for me since I have never followed these characters. Yet once I saw the Ron Lim art I had to try it. Somehow he, the inker and the colorist have given him some extra depth than I remember. It could all be my imagination from not having seen him do anything in a while, but this could really be a nice come back for him. I don't know that he was gone, and people might not notice this book, but if you ever liked Ron Lim, you should check this out. The story pretty much holds up its end too.


Here is what I bought this week:
Agents of Atlas # 4 (of 6)
Avengers Next # 1 (of 5)
Incredible Hulk # 100
Mouse Guard # 5 (of 6)
Star Wars: Legacy # 5
