CCG to Indefinitely Suspend Comic Book Conservation Service
Nice move. It's good to see that they do listen to their customers, at least sometimes.
Peter David hits the nail on the head when he says "If I see one more article about Alan Moore being "swindled" by DC or how Hollywood has destroyed his graphic novel, I'm going to go on a vendetta of my own."
Well said.

You can tell by my last post that I like Red Sonja, but I want to stress the fact that this is really a great book. Michael Oeming writes these stories like he's lived them personally and Mel Rubi's art (especially his splash pages) are a beautiful thing to behold. I'm actually enjoying this title more then Conan and I love the new Conan series to this point.
If you're late to the game on this title your LCS can probably still get the early issues from Diamond, and if not you can definitely get them of Ebay for a song. The newest issue is #8 and it's out this week. It's the start of a new stories arc so it's a good jumping on point if you don't feel like getting the back issues. Here's a preview of #8.
I'll be picking up these new books this week.
LOVELESS #5 (MR) - Love the art and the writing.
SGT ROCK THE PROPHECY #3 (OF 6) - One word: Kubert
ULTIMATE FANTASTIC FOUR #28 - The best on-going Ultimate title.
WOLVERINE #40 - I buy it because I'm a sucker.
X-FACTOR #5 - Peter David should write a core "X" title. This is a fun read, but it won't last long.
X-MEN #184 - I buy it because I'm a sucker.
RED SONJA #8 - Blood, guts, and tits. Can it get any better?
Sponsored by.........an Israeli comics cooperative! If you can't laugh at yourself.....

CONAN #26 (MR) - Always a good read.
CONAN BOOK OF THOTH #1 (OF 4) - Outstanding story and art.
100 BULLETS #70 (MR) - The best comic book currently being published.
DMZ #5 (MR) - Started strong, but it's getting to the point that I may drop it.
RED SONJA CLAW DEVILS HANDS #1 (OF 4) - Haven't read it yet.
FURY PEACEMAKER #2 (OF 6) - Waiting for the sries to end before reading it.
MARVEL MASTERWORKS ANT-MAN GIANT-MAN VOL 1 HC VAR ED - I'll get to this over the weekend.
ULTIMATE EXTINCTION #3 (OF 5) - Waiting for the sries to end before reading it.
ULTIMATE X-MEN #68 - Reading it this weekend.
According to www.tvshowsondvd.com the first season could be out in July. That would be cool.
What a fascinating woman. The LA Times interview with the 82 year old, reclusive Bettie Page is a fun read. Have at it.
Fear Agent is a comic book that's a throwback to a less serious, less "gritty reality" time in comics. It's just pure fun. Check out this Newsarama interview with the creator Rick Remender. Then go to your local comic book shop and pick up #1, 2 & 3 (3 comes out today). If your LCS doesn’t have copies of 1 and 2 they can still back order them from Diamond.
