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.
On the new comics list for June 29th:
Omac Project #2 Second Ptg, $2.50
Omac Project #3 (Of 6), $2.50
Wow, Day of Vengeance didn't sell out at your store?
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.
Also on this week's pull list is Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere #1, adapted by Mike Carey (Lucifer) and Glenn Fabry (Preacher covers).
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.
Uh, did anyone see an article yesterday about comic books for Spike, Angel and Serenity? I thought I'd find it mentioned here, but I may have missed it.
