FABLES #119
JUSTICE LEAGUE #11
UNWRITTEN #39
SAGA #5
AVENGERS VS X-MEN #8
UNCANNY X-MEN #16

Far behinds on Fables and Unwritten, for some reason those are easier to read digitally than in print. Saga is obviously going to be best of the week, just absolutely loving that series...

ALABASTER WOLVES #4 (Anyone else reading this? If you like Buffy or Hellboy I think you'd enjoy it. Only a 5 issue mini I believe.)
SAGA #5
AVENGERS VS X-MEN #8
UNCANNY X-MEN #16
X-MEN #32

No Green Lantern or Manhattan Projects really lightens this week's load, though I'm sure just adds to next weeks. Also my reorder for Alabaster Wolves 3 should be in.

Saga #5
DareDevil #15

Full week for me. I'm going to get back onto Birds of Prey once iZombie ends. Not sure if I'll pick up Alabastor Wolves. Batwoman has been kind of iffy storywise lately but its got its redeeming qualities

Anyone else feel Justice League is pretty crappy? Right now the best thing for the last few issues have been the Shazam backstory. The main story is boring and slow. In fact, I think I'm only going to get the variant to the series now. I had high hopes for Geoff Johns and Jim Lee but nothing has wowed me in the main stories...

I wouldn't say Justice League is bad as much as it didn't live up to the super high expectations. So far its coming across as a very average team book. And I understand that as DC's supposed top title, it can't be average; it needs to be great.

For the time being, I'm still getting it but mostly because I like seeing a lot of my favorite characters and the stories, despite being slow, are still enjoyable.

I dropped it for the same reasons. As the top team book and overall one of DC's top titles, it shouldn't be average. I wasn't liking the pacing or the way characters acted. Hal was acting like 2 different people between JL and GL, and both were written by the same person so there was no reason in my mind that should happen. Overall it has been a book that more disappointed me based on my expectations than entertained me.
