I'm hijacking this one again because I have a case of the Mondays. (This can happen a lot when you work at a fishtailing venture capital company.) When I have a case of the Mondays, listing the comics I will pick up in two days is soothing. Very Happy

52 #44 - This comic is the solution to everything that is wrong with modern mainstream comics (excessive hype, delays, hype, empty storylines, empty characters, empty hype, etc.).

Adventures of Barry Ween Boy Genius Vol. 1 - I am so happy to see this! Judd Winick is always one of my favorites (unless he's revamping the Marvel family in a dull Harry Potter wanna be mini Razz

).

Justice League of America #6 - Meltzer and Benes and I could not be more happy.

Manhunter #29 - So far, this arc has been my favorite Manhunter, yet. Glad to hear it's not canceled.

Nightwing #130 - Wolfman on Nightwing just feels so right! Razz

SHAZAM: The Monster Society of Evil #2 - I never read Bone, but after issue #1 of this mini, I am convinced that Jeff Smith is an absolute genius! Cool

Uncanny X-Men #484 - Fun little X-Men story but after this arc I think I'll call my 12 issue run all the Uncanny I really need in my collection.

Captain America #25: This series is great. Ed Brubaker made a character that never really appealed to me into a character that you can't pass up.

Criminal #5: I love crime stories and this series is the definitive of crime comics at the moment, even when it's only 5 issues in.

Justice League of America #6: This series is the second best series being released from DC at the moment. If it wasn't for Justice Society of America this would be the best from DC.

Mighty Avengers #1: Ares on a superhero team. 'nuff said.

Uncanny X-Men #484: This arc has had its ups and downs but I'm sure we're going to get a good few good issues before the end of the arc.

Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born #2 Never read any of the novels, but i'm liking it so far. Plus I love Jae Lee's art.

Marvel Zombies vs Army of Darkness #1 Ash against the super zombies. Got to love it!

The Dark Tower #2: I started reading these books when I was making my living riding horses. They are like family to me. I was very pleased with #1 and added the series to my pull list. Very true to the mythos and heart of the novels.

That's it for new stuff, but I have fifty bucks worth of back issues coming from mycomicshop.com (including 21 issues of Daredevil, some Hellblazer and the original Kabuki one-shot from 1994) which should arrive this week.

In all honesty, though, I doubt I leave my LCS with one issue in my hand. May pick up the second Planetary trade, come to think of it...

Ex Machina Vol. 5.. I actually didn't know this was coming out so soon. I love when new trades sneak up on me.

How does $160 Cdn. equal $100 US? Mad

This is a disgusting exchange rate for the DD Omnibus. Hope my shop can do better than my standard 20% off on this one. Sad

Whoa!, Clayton, where are you buying this omnibus?? Like KM posted, I have mine on order from Amazon, $63 American and free shipping.

You know, these omni's are starting to come out one after another. I have the X-Men and now they are soliciting Amazing Spiderman and Silver Surfer. They also have two volumes of FF. You know, I know that most of these are kind of kiddie books since they were written by Stan Lee, but I may just get them so I can read these to my son as he gets older. Since, current comics are sometimes not for children. But, he can get some enjoyment from these old tales.

Seriously, I think it would be a great idea if Marvel just put out entire runs on these omni's. I'd love to have all of the DD's in omni format. And, I'd probably get all kinds of stuff if they made it in omni format. What a library of classic comics!

Here's what I picked up this week.

USM #106 - It's hard to believe I picked up my first issue of this series when it was in single digits. It's been the best book and the worst book on my pull list. The point is I'm still reading.

Detective #829 - I've enjoyed the Dini issues while I was gone. I think I'll stick with reading Batman and Detective going forward.

Midnighter #5 - Another series I've enjoyed since I've been away. The first issue set a pretty high bar and the series has followed through about as well as could be expected.

Mighty Avengers #1 - Another Avengers series by Bendis? The other one wandered to its detriment. I'm going to give this one a chance. (side note: Ares? I'm intrigued. Even taking the Bendis-Oeming connection into consideration.) But it's not going to get an extra long leash.

Civil War : The Initiative - The outro to Civil War. A don't have anything else to say.

Captain America #25 - I got a heads up from the guy at my LCS on this one. If you don't know what he was tipping me off to, I won't be the one to tell you. Also got the variant cover.
