100 Bullets vol 13: Wilt - The End is Here!!!
Back to Brooklyn Tpb

Very small week which great because last week my wallet took a pounding.

Also, I have yet to get the 4th Manhunter trade paperback to complete my collection. I'm just waiting for Amazon to list at a 33% discount. for some reason they haven't done it yet.

Incidently why are me and Cam-adian they only peeps getting No Hero? Be sure to pick up the trade folks! It's quite a novel. The basic premise is, "how much do you want to be a superhero?". The answer provided in the book is quite illuminating.


Also, what's the format of this Wednesday Comics thing? I kind of get that it's a throwback to the olden days and saw the "#1" so thought I'd give it a go.

I get it because I'd let Warren Ellis do things to me. Unspeakable things.

Although, I do not find him as good of late, as he was a few years ago.

Doktor Sleepless, Anna Mercury, and No Hero compared to say Red, Ministry of Space, Nextwave, or Jack Cross.

(I really don't like Doktor Sleepless or Anna Mercury, I dropped them both, which is rare for me with an Ellis comics.)

Gravel and Ignition City are awesome though.

Too late (kind of) Amazon will stock it in 1-3 weeks.

I haven't picked up No Hero because I added about 5 titles to my pull list:

Batman & Robin, Streets of Gotham, Gotham City Sirens, Greek Street & Wednesday Comics.

You still read Angel. You don't count.

After getting Punisher MAX vol 5 & 100 Bullets vol 13 I've now got 2 empty spots on my paperback pull list. I won't be picking up the following storylines in Punisher MAX because I haven't heard anything good about them.

For now, I'll just leave the spots empty and give myself some breathing room.

not anymore. back when I was working in a shop I picked stuff up a lot more randomly, and things like Amelia Rules! and Bear were always in my pull, but not any more lately.

What is considered Indie? Anything not published by Marvel, DC, Image and their imprints?

What about Boom! or Dabel Bros?

Or is it the story content?

I'm really quite fond of Gravel. I have a couple of the original trades, but am thinking of getting the big hardback collection thing too, which will have the stories I've already bought (boo hoo double spending!) but nevermind.

Quite liking Ignition City too.

Have you tried Freak Angels? Something put me off of that. Can't remember what though.

I tried #1 of Doktor Sleepless and just didn't get it. Don't think I'll try Anna Mercury if you're not fond of it.

Might have to give the other four a try though. What did you think of Planetary? I've got the first volume. I didn't really get into it.

Planetary is one of the most awesomest comics ever.
