Mal ,'Out Of Gas'
Discussion of Buffy and Angel comics, books, and more. Please don't get into spoilery details in the first week of release.
Plei, swap out Plastic Man for Ultimate Spidey, and that's my list, too.
There is nothing in the concept that inherently ties it to IC.
DC's promo for it that appeared on the back page of their comics -- this was about a month or more ago -- made mention of it being connected to (or kicked off by) events in IC.
Okay, so all that IC stuff in the back of the books is just marketing.
I have:
Gotham Knights
Batgirl
Robin
Birds of Prey
Outsiders
I'm interested to see what they're doing in Robin what with there being no Robin and all.
My only pull for today is Ult. Spidey. I am thus far resisting the lure of purchasing titles that may sink deeper into by financial and free time budgets.
Plei, do you want to borrow my copy of Stray Toasters? I can't remember if you've read it or not.
Sure. I should bring Hopeless Savages back today, too, as I've read it.
Hey, did anyone's comic shop have Outsiders #15? I thought it was coming out today -- but it wasn't in!
I haven't gone looking yet, I really hope it is because it's my favorite comic right now.
I checked the New Comics list and it wasn't on it -- but it's still on DC's list for August 18th.
Bloody Sky Captain ! I can't read last week's Nightwing cause it's in plastic. And it sounds really good, too. Also, they were out of last week's Legends of the Dark Knight. Those were the only two War Games titles, right? And this week, the Batgirl is in plastic. It's going to be tough keeping up with this thing.
-t and Teppy, I totally had the Deathstroke is so coooool reaction.
New Ex Machina ! Nice. Still a great title.
And God, I am loving the shit out of Daredevil right now. It's action-packed and funny and exciting and aw yeah. And I find Quinn terribly amusing. I hope he ends up being a recurring character, being hired by various enemies to take Matt out, and always failing. And always talking into his recorder about how close he came. And we don't know who/what Babette is, do we? I'm anxious to find out.
Check Diamond's ship list rather than DC's "out this week," which lies.
I got:
BoP
The War Games issues
the new Astro City special
Terra Obscura v2 #1
So it's a nice mix. As to BoP: did anyone else think Gail Simone must've been a big fan of Angel s4? I closed the issue thinking, "Big damn evil, sir." .
But then again, I'm spoiled for a voice casting on JLU: Gina Torres will be voicing Vixen. So it's possible I'm just suggestible.
That makes me wonder, is there anyone better positioned than Oracle to arrange grisly deaths for the bulk of the DC heroes, should a possession situation crop up? Seems like she could arrange for a lot of lethally faulty info to go out over the wires at once. And since many of them depend on her for situation reports, she could spin the first casualties and mobilize even more people into ambushes ...
