BIRDS OF PREY #4
SUPERMAN #702
WELCOME TO TRANQUILITY ONE FOOT GRAVE #2 (OF 6)
ZATANNA #4
X-MEN #2


I'm really considering not getting this new X-Men series for very long, which I'm still unsure of since I've picked up the previous 2 'ongoing 3rd core' book in X-Treme and Astonishing in their entirity, and wanted to with this one as well. Who knows.

On the bright side, BoP and Tranquility mean a double dose of Simone, and Zatanna adds even more to it!

Wally, since you've come to enjoy Gail's writing, have you ever looked at Welcome to Tranquility?

I've heard a lot of buzz for Morning Glories so I guess I'll pick up the first issue to see how it goes.

I've heard quite a bit about it and I would like to pick it up, but budgetary constraints prevent me from adding it to the list. Most likely I'll pick it up in trade paperback down the road.

I know I'll enjoy the title because it's Simone. Between Secret Six, WW, BoP and various other work she's done, I haven't read a single thing by her that I haven't enjoyed so I'm not even concerned that I'll like ti & hate it.

Found out the reason I didn't get Red Hood last week is because my retailer was shorted, so he had them this week with the new releases so I luckily didn't forget.

Good deal! I picked it up on a whim when I saw my shop had issues 1-12 together for like, $15. And I asked them how many issues were in the series total, and they said that's it. So the first run is only 12 issues, and really really good, fun humor and a fun take on aging superheroes.

The new book out now is a 6 issue mini, which after the first issue was good, but I'd say you definitely need to have some background knowledge of the first series. Simone does a good job with a lot of exposition on what happend in those 12, so it's spoilerfilled, but still a great read.

I think the trades are in 2 volumes, but I don't know how difficult it is to find the singles. I stumbled across theirs one day and bought it then, and I didn't regret my choice.

Man, I'm glad I picked this up because it's evidently a runaway hit, people on eBay are selling this for $10 and more and it's just a week old. Hot damn I made the right decision! Anyone else pick it up?
