Here is my order for this month. It was pretty hard to get under my $50 limit, but I only had to drop a few things. Here are the titles, and their prices at DCBS:
Pick of the month:
Peepshow #14 $3.71 – I couldn’t believe when I saw this in Previews. Peepshow is one of my all time favorite comics, if not my favorite. The last issue came out 5 years ago and I never thought I’d see another. I was tempted to order 2 just to show my love. This is the autobiographical story of Joe Matt. I also learned Joe has a myspace page, which seems incredibly out of character, but I couldn’t be happier. In the words of Big Black, welcome back, Joe.
The rest:
Ant #11 $1.79 – I’m still getting this because I like the art; and the creator, Mario Gully, seems cool. I need to catch up on my reading of the series however.
Wolverine #48 $1.79 – For the Ramos art. On a side note, can DC please release a sketch version of Revelations TPB? The Revelations #1 ashcan was all pencils, and looked incredible.
Blue Beetle Shellshocked TP $6.49 – I read #1 and liked it. A teenage Blue Beetle who talks and behaves like a teenager.
Incredible Hulk #100 $2.39 – I’ve been meaning to check out the Planet Hulk storyline, and this seems like the perfect time. Also in the issue are reprints of 2 older stories (one is 1st Wolvie I believe). I’m sure this is what Marvel was hoping for with this issue, getting people like me to take the plunge. I’ve been planning on getting the trade if the story is good. The premise is interesting (Hulk being banished to another planet and becoming involved in their war) and the reviews are good.
Moon Knight #7 $1.79 – For the art and the Spidey and Punisher appearances.
New Avengers #26 $1.79 – Return of Hawkeye, whom I like. I think.
Dwight T Albatross The Goon Noir #2 $1.79 – Brian Posehn story.
Wisdom #1 $1.99 – To check out, because the premise sounds cool (fairies turning on the humans). If it’s good I’ll get the trade.
Birds Of Prey #100 $2.39 – To check it out. See Hulk. I’ve also been enjoying Gail Simone’s blog, so I owe it to her.
Content #2 $3.50 – Super good hype for this.
Content #1 $2.10 – Super good hype for this.
Zombies Eclipse Of The Undead #1 $1.99 – For the premise (humans holeing up in a baseball stadium during a zombie invasion.) See Wisdom.
The Super Naturals #1 $1.75 – Checked out a preview and the art looked great.
Makeshift Miracle Vol 1 Gn $9.09 – See Content. And Gail Simone super recommended it. See Birds of Prey.
And because they were cheap:
Superman Confidential #1 $0.74
Stormwatch Phd #1 $0.74
Midnighter #1 $0.74
Nightly News #1 $0.74
Immortal Iron Fist #1 $0.74
Onslaught Reborn #1 $0.74
Dropped:
Following Cerebus #10 – Hate to drop it, since Dave Sim fascinates me, but I still haven’t read enough Cerebus proper, so I should probably start there.
That’s it. Hopefully I’ll post earlier next month.
