BTVS SEASON 9 FREEFALL #8
BATWOMAN #8
FRANKENSTEIN AGENT OF SHADE #8
GREEN LANTERN #8
SAUCER COUNTRY #2
SAGA #2
UNCANNY X-MEN #10


Nice looking week. Buffy, Frankenstein, Saga. But sadly, I'm going to C2E2 so I won't buy my books on Friday/Saturday because I'll be in Chicago. So instead I'm going to try getting books signed by Jamal Igle, Gail Simone, Clay Mann, get art from Sean Forney, Clay Mann, Katie Cook, and try to meet that one guy who writes some DC stuff about Flashes and Lanterns. Jeffy Johnson or something like that.

I wanted to go to C2E2 but forgot it takes place in the Spring and not Summer. Maybe next year.

BTVS SEASON 9 FREEFALL #8
GREEN LANTERN #8
UNWRITTEN #36
AMERICAS GOT POWERS #1
SAGA #2
SECRET SERVICE #1
UNCANNY X-MEN #10
MARVEL HEROCLIX GALACTIC GUARDIANS BOOSTER BRICK

MAYBE
SECRET #1 [it's an Image #1 and written by Jonathan Hickman...yet the cover is fugly as hell so that may be a non-selling point]

Glad it's a small comics week as I'm getting the new Heroclix brick and those fuckers are expensive. I really want to stop buying yet they keep having badass pieces (this set it's cosmic-related and awesome).

Tragic, how many days are you going for and what will you primarily be looking to do? Score books, trades, signatures or sketches or a lil bit of everything?

BTVS # 9
Batgirl #8
Batwoman #8
Mr. Terrific #8
Saga #2
Thief of Thieves #3
Uncanny X-Men #10

Hitman vol 6: For Tomorrow

Kind of an uneven week. Couple of meh titles with Mr. T, Uncanny & Batwoman being somewhat blah.

I'll only be there Saturday for the time being, unless we add Sunday last minute. We have retailer passes so no buying extra tickets. Mostly signatures for me and some preordered work. But also light sketches from a few quick artists like Katie Cook.

I don't regularly spend money on meh books but every so often I can tell which ones are gonna suck and which aren't.

Mr. Terrific started out okay but never really became as good as I wished it would be. Since this is its last issue before cancelled, I decided to pick it up to see how the story wraps up.

Uncanny X-Men has been very good so far but since this month its going to be an AvX crossover, I just know its going to be meh. Batwoman, however, has been good some months and meh in other months. I chalk it up to the creative team having internal difficulties than it just being a bad book.

Katie Cook is expecting you to be accompanied by an adult as children are not allowed in by themselves.
