Also -- what other tie-in titles are worth reading?
I'm loving Villains United, partly b/c Simone's writing it, and partly b/c I'm just really enjoying watching all the baddies.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My store couldn't find their Villains United. For that and other reasons, I need to detach myself from the immediate reward of being able to buy my comics Wednesday lunchtime, and just go somewhere decent.
Ultimate X-Men -- I find myself, quite unexpectedly, an Ultimate Logan/Ro shipper. So I was eagerly turning pages this issue. Much better than the Longshot stuff, which disappointed me a bit, especially considering my love of the character.
Teen Titans misted me up, and I'm not even a Cassie/Kon shipper. She was good.

I forgot to check Villains United but my comic shop had tons of OMAC Project #1, Rann/Thanagar War #1 & #2 and all three of Day of Vengeance.

Wow, Day of Vengeance didn't sell out at your store?

I think that the initial run did and what we've got now is the other printings.

Is that a wee little bit of sarcasm, Matt, or is it genuine surprise? Of the "Countdown to Crisis" mini-series, Day of Vengence is the series pulling up the rear, sales-wise, but it is still pulling in respectable numbers and hitting the "sold out at the publisher" lists.
Everybody should be getting Astro City: The Dark Age #1. Kurt Busiek rocks mightily.
Also on this week's pull list is Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere #1, adapted by Mike Carey (Lucifer) and Glenn Fabry (Preacher covers).
Also, Captain America #7 is out - I am anticipating it highly to see if what was revealed in #6 is real, or if House of M crossover will kill the plot for a while. I am also picking up House of M, but I refuse to get the crossover series attached to that. The DC crossover is pulling enough out of my wallet.

Jeff, you and I are as one when it comes to House of M -- I'm intrigued by it (though horribly confused by this week's issue), but I refuse to buy the associated "Spider-Man: House of M," etc. No way, mang.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I picked this up today. I really dislike the artwork.

It was more than a bit of sarcasm. Apparently my comic store must be atypical in still having stacks of each DoV issue that could stop a rifle bullet, but as that customer response jibes with my opinion of the story I assumed it was a more widespread phenomenon.
