The Secret of the Wednesday’s Haul

Ambush Bug Year None #1 — Can Giffen and Fleming recapture the magic from the 80’s and some early 90’s?  I’m hoping that they’ve lost none of the wit and irreverence that they had during the Bug’s hayday.
Elephantmen #13– I just read the War Toys trade paperback and it puts the Elephantmen in a different [...]

I’ve gotten a couple of reviews out last week but it’s amazing how my mind hasn’t been able to really think about comics since the overload that was Wizard World Chicago.  I hope my mind gets back to normal next week. 

Final Crisis Requiem #1 — I wasn’t going to get this but I think [...]

I find it curious to see that in a week where Marvel is dumping 34 books on the market (see here and here,) I’m only getting three Marvel books, compared to the four from DC, 1 from Dark Horse, 1 from Image and 1 from Oni. Just because there are a lot of books [...]

It’s a heavy collection week and I don’t know what I can wait on, probably the Conan book but I know I’ve got to buy Sinestro Corps V2 and Y V10 this week. I may even have to pick up the Star Wars book. I was hoping to be able to wait until [...]

Star Wars Rebellion #14– I’ve gotten the last couple of issues of this just for Colin Wilson’s art, a fantastic blend of Moebius and Walt Simonson. Wilson’s art on Star Wars Legacy reminded me of the short Simonson run on Marvel’s Star Wars comics that featured the strong inking of Tom Palmer. So [...]

Yeah, this could be a big week.

Hellboy Vol 8 Darkness Calls TP– I’ve got the individual issues but I’m really looking forward to getting this and finally reading the whole thing. Probably like most people, I was hesitant about a Hellboy book not drawn by Mignola but Duncan Fegredo was an excellent choice to [...]

How many collections can Marvel put out in one week? This looks like it’s the week to go broke.

JLA Presents Aztek The Ultimate Man TP– Grant Morrison and Mark Millar’s third-rate DC hero gets a collected treatment years and years after his series was DOA. Of all the trades this week, this may [...]

It’s been a months since I’ve gotten a DCBS shipment and that’s been too long.  And this box looks to be a great one, featuring everything from JSA to Ganges to Mike Allred to Hopey Glass.  But before that hits, here’s a bunch of stuff I’m getting or am interested in.

BPRD Vol 8 Killing Ground [...]

Was anyone else as disappointed in the Newsarama and CBR coverage of NYCC as I was? Both sites tried to run mini-sites to cover the con but it only felt like it was doubling the amount of webpages I had to check to try and find any news or coverage of panels. If [...]

Brian Hibbs calls this a teeny-tiny week over on Savage Critics. Honestly, if I bought everything I was at least mildly interested in, this would probably be my biggest haul of the past 4-6 months.

Justice Society Of America Vol 3 #14 — Somehow it’s hitting me right now that the few DCU [...]

So my time of going cold turkey pre-ordering from DCBService lasted one whole month. A month or so ago I wrote about how I was chucking the monthly ordering from them and going to begin relying more on Amazon and DCBS’s sister site InStock Trades. But something funny happened between then and now– [...]

I’ve got a lot of writing for this site to catch up on (2 movie and at least 3 or 4 comic reviews) but the cycle of new comics on Wednesday never stops, does it?

The big release of this week aren’t the comics but the New Frontier DVD.  The early reviews seem to to digging the movie.  All I know is that it has to be better than the Superman DVD released last year. 

Savage Sword Of Conan Vol 2 TP–  On the list of “may pick up.”  I’ve [...]

Wow, what a great week this is.  I’ve got a number of books on order from DCBS so it’ll be a couple of weeks before I see some of these.

Grendel Behold The Devil #4– This mini hits the halfway point.  It’s been bold and subtle simultaneously.  Hunter Rose’s main adversary hasn’t been revealed yet but [...]

The year didn’t start out good. The only book on my pull list last week was Doktor Sleepless, a book I haven’t even bothered reading yet. And I don’t think I will. I have absolutely nil interest in this book [...]

One of the reasons I love using DCBS is that I have all month to actually do my monthly orders. For instance, the December orders aren’t due until tomorrow. Here’s what I should be receiving in February or anytime after that.

Brave and the Bold #10– Jerry Ordway fills in. If [...]

Comics take a back seat to DVDs this week as a worthy edition of Blade Runner finally comes out on disc. My only dilemma right now is whether I buy the 4 disc version or the 5 disc version. On Friday, we head up to Michigan for the holidays and I think Blade [...]
