WOYL? 4.4 edition.

Hit the comments for mine, complete with commentary!

As always feel free to post your lists.

Tomorrow, a few Time Travel thoughts.

Also, the strip today looks kinda janky. That's my fault. Kinko's made me copy the strip instead of scanning it. Our new scanner shipped today, so I may be able to go back and clean up the scan a bit.

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER #2
Amber’s friend who doesn’t read comics was very thankful I got this for him. This needs to turn into a weekly comic.

52 WEEK #48
Last week covered a lot of ground. I liked it but still want to know where the other characters it didn’t hit on are. I’m sad I won’t have this to look forward to every week.

ABSOLUTE BATMAN THE LONG HALLOWEEN HC
My bookshelf hates me.

JACK OF FABLES #9
Jack’s gonna get some payback.

JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA CVR A #7
JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA CVR B #7
JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA VAR ED #7
I’d like the Non-Turner cover please. (Also the first arc kinda was lame. Maybe I’ll dig out the issues this week and re-read it but I just got a ‘meh’ feeling from it. Compared to Morrisons first arc, or JSA or Justice Society of America, it just didn’t have that ‘Oh man! Wow!’ factor to it.

AVENGERS INITIATIVE #1
The preview has Rage, Slapstick, and Justice in it. How can I not pick it up?

FALLEN SON DEATH OF CAPTAIN AMERICA WOLVERINE
Hmmmm. I like Jeph Loeb (sometimes). He did make Wolverine a Cat Person though. But there are some rocking artists on this. I’ll get the first one and go from there.

IMMORTAL IRON FIST #4
Love this book. Love it.

INCREDIBLE HULK #105
I’m scared. I have really really liked this Hulk arc. A lot. I just went back and read the whole thing (minus the one issue I can’t seem to find) and it is a very fun read. But I’m scared. World War Hulk could be really sucktastic. The promo stuff I’ve seen so far is iffy, but I’m hopeful. And a bit scared.

MARVEL ZOMBIES ARMY OF DARKNESS #2
As much as I love me some Marvel Zombies, the first issue really didn’t do it for me. I know they have a prequel planned with the original team, so I may just get that and read this in trade somewhere. The covers are super cool though.

RUNAWAYS #25
I’m a walking, in the rain…

OMEGA FLIGHT #1 CWI (OF 5)
Hmmm….I’ve been to Canada (+). I don’t really like the art (-). I like the writer (+) and most of the characters (Beta Ray Bill!) (+). I’ll get the first issue and go from there.

ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN CLONE SAGA PREMIERE HC
This is not on my list, but I’m worried about it. Does this mean they’re not going to do the same Hardcover format they have been with USM? I have the first 5 or 6 (National Geographics are in the way right now) and I’ll be cranky if they’re changing format for good.

INQUEST GAMER WORLD WARCRAFT MOLTEN CORE CVR #145
We’re MC raiders….(jokes for nerds)

Nerd-views, GOOOOOO!

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER #2
Not as good as the first one, but like Doctor Who, any new Buffy is welcome Buffy.

52 WEEK #48
Four more weeks, then the Countdown begins! In the meantime, this was good, but the next 4 are even better.

DETECTIVE COMICS #831
Go single issue stories, go!

JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA CVR A #7
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's great. Next issue: LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES. HOLY. FUCK.

...no, seriously, it was the best issue so far of Meltzer's run. But next issue? THE FUCKING LEGION.

SUPERGIRL #16
Thought it was the origin, turns out it was bullshit. Giving this away.

SUPERGIRL AND THE LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES#28
Big fight. Anytime we get to see a big fight in the Legion, I think it's cool. Cool enough to buy? No. Borrow mine.

HULK AND POWER PACK #2
Comedy. Gold.

IMMORTAL IRON FIST #4
Orson is a cool name. Punching is his cool game.

NEW EXCALIBUR #18
I swear to God, someday I'm going to write this and it's going to make sense. Still a decent book to read, but I'm a hairsbreadth away from dropping it entirely.

RUNAWAYS #25
Unimpressed so far. Should get better.

ANGEL SCRIPTBOOK #2
Holds the scripts of three of my favorite eps, so I got it. Here's to hoping it'll clear up some questions I have in "Smiletime."
