I'm re-thinking my list of pre-BoP must-reads to include Longbow Hunters for some Dinah backstory, but in any case, I think you can start with the first BoP trade and work from there.Thanks! I fear this may turn into an expensive habit. *adds Longbow Hunters to "read some day" list*

Polter-Cow - won't your comic shop order NLM 1, 3 & 4 for you?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

He he he...but then again, don't they usually? When was the last time you saved the world?

Oh, they have all five new. But I only buy 'em used, cause it's far cheaper. I just read stuff in the store.

I may have to seize the cat.
A friend gave me a copy of this month's Wizard, which has an article about Joss's X-Men & also includes a list of his top 5 X-Men stories.
They are:
Phoenix (that's kinda a big story, there)
the Brood Saga
Rogue & Wolvie in Japan (w/Mohawk!Storm)
the Claremont/Miller Wolvie miniseries (I just bought the TPB yesterday)
And New X-Men: E is for Extinction (planning on reading that in the store tomorrow)
...I'm so fangirl about this. Did you know, CHRIS CLAREMONT wanted Joss for this series? CHRIS F'IN' CLAREMONT!
Ok. Sorry. Calming down now.

Question (revealing my true ignorance):
When a comic is "on sale" on a date, does that mean it's in the store? I want to get Joss's X-Men from my local store but I don't want to show up Wed. and be told "No, we don't have it yet." I've had this happen w/video games and that's why I ask.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Virtually all comic book stores I've been to will actually put the new comics out on the shelves on Wednesday.
The biggest problem I've had are books that are sold out by the time I get to the store on Wednesday evening or Thursday, not that they aren't for sale yet.

I've had this problem too. I intend to be there when the store opens Wed. am @ 10... the luxury of having class at 1:30 p. But as the year goes on, I'll probably have to start preordering and having them shipped directly to me :-(

Any comic book shop worth their salt will have hold lists for their regular customers. Alternately, if you're not regular enough, they should let you pre-pay for it. Like, give them your money today and they'll save you a copy on Wednesday.

Yeah, the reason I said what I said is because I'm moving.
