Catching Up

It's been a while, so I thought I'd play catch up.

What I'm Buying (my current pull list):

Marvel
Astonishing X-Men - total fanboy bliss
Thunderbolts - gritty
Uncanny X-Men - best writing on this book in over 10 years
Wolverine - total crap, but I keep buying it
X-Men - keeping the run intact

Marvel Mini Series
Civil War - the last issue is out next week, thank god
Civil War Front Line - best part of the "civil war"
Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk - the third issue will never come out
Ultimates 2 – been waiting on the last issue for about 8,745,298 years

DC/Vertigo
52 – this series is kicking ass
100 Bullets – the best, as always
All Star Superman – the wait between issues is painful, but worth it
DMZ – super good
Jonah Hex – done with the "one and done" format, but still great
Justice – three more issues to go, then I'll read it
Spirit – fun, pretty.......pretty fun

Other
Battlestar Galactica (current) - nice job working within the 'new universe'
Conan - over three years of great art and consistent writing
Deadworld – who knows when the next one will arrive, but the first six were great
Fear Agent – the move to Darkhorse is holding this one up....to bad
Fell – the TPB is coming, jump on board
Red Sonja – it's the best seller for Dynamite for a reason
Walking Dead – if you're not reading this you're retarded


I've completed some collecting goals and taken some steps to close in on some others

I finaly picked up a nice Walking Dead #2. #1 is easy to find, #2 is not so easy.

Picked up 100 Bullets #20-29, now I only need #1-19 to complet my set.

Got a big pile of Marvel Comics presents, numbered after the Smith run I picked up last year. Fun reading at bargain prices.

Classic Marvel Figurines kick ass. Your LCS can order these through Diamond. Needless to say, I'm picking up all of the X-Men and realited villans.

I picked up this CGC SS Fear Agent #1 RRP. Super cool.

That's all that I can think of at this point. I'll post more as/if it comes to mind.
