One person's annoying promo is another's exciting promo, with a spare copy to share with other geeks in the office who are Marvel-only.
Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Three months of nine titles.
Check.
I need to get a promotion. And also to find my one twoo comic store. Didn't buy my comics on lunch break, so I can scout near home. I don't like this feeling of delay.
On the upside, I spent the lunch break reading about the science of Superman. Interesting book so far, because the writer is taking pains to explain general principles (say, of planetary formation) before getting to the Supes nitty-gritty (red sun, one supercontintent). Doubtless he's drawing some easy conclusions, and isn't saying "Admittedly unlikely, but" near as much as may need to.
Still, I feel all edjermacated and shit. Just uncomicked.

You're looking at around $30, then.

"Don't think of yourself as an organic pain collector racing towards oblivion." Dogbert to Dilbert
I'm looking to pick up:
Identity Crisis #3, the "War Games" titles LotDK and Nightwing, Gotham Central #22 (finishing up the Mad Hatter storyline, I think, and maybe some reflection on "War Games"), plus the new Green Arrow issue, plus Teen Titans, plus...
What? A new issue of Fables is out? Cool. Oh, and don't forget the new Powers issue.
Say, is that the limited-edition, hard-bound, includes-the-original-pages-of-the-cancelled-attempt of the JLA/Avengers crossover by Kurt Busiek and George Perez over there? Meep.
(I may need help).

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
My pull was
Identity Crisis #3 (
Gender Exploitation Issues factor 8, Mr. Sulu!
)
JSA #64 (
What I formerly considered the best team book in comics is beginning to look more and more like an excuse to show off Power Girl in a torn costume...
)
Y the Last Man # 25
Birds of Prey #71 (just taking a peek)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Shoot. Forgot I was gonna take a look at Powers.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Today's haul:
- JSA #64 (I needed to decide for myself whether or not Power Girl in a torn costume is a bad thing...)
- I.C. #3
- Power #3
- Legion #37
- Avengers #500

Thrive to spite them
I have to go back for Legends of the Dark Knight! Oh well.
My pulls were:
Identity Crisis
Teen Titans
Nightwing
Gotham Central
Green Arrow
X Force #1 -- with Shatterstar! I've never actually READ anything with him in it, but I've read quite a bit of Rictor/Shatterstar fic.
And I looked at Alpha Flight....which I've actually been looking at for a few months now and I see that this is issue is the end of a story arc. I think I want it, but I don't know.
