Get to pulling this Wednesday’s books, and then let us know what you’re looking forward to most, what you’re dropping, what others should be buying and anything you’re thinking. Be heard, because we need you, iFanbase!
What are the iFanboys buying? Check their pull lists out here: Conor, Josh, and Paul.
And what about the rest of the staff? What are they buying? Check out their pull lists: Jim, Mike, Molly, Ryan, Ali, Timmy, Chris, Jeff, and Matt.
This week Paul Montgomery has his first Pick of the Week!
Bonus Question: What was the single most interesting thing that happened to you over the weekend?
Just Batman and Uncanny X-Men for me this week.
Btw, I’m so glad Paul’s first PotW comes on Batman finale week. Whether it winds up being deserving of the pick or not, I am really excited at the potential amount of flack Paul will get in his first at bat if he doesn’t pick Batman.
It’s like Conor and Josh set it up this way to be Paul’s initiation.
He certainly has an interesting set of books to choose from. That Planet of the Apes special sure looks… special.
Batman, Uncanny X-Men & Fury Max. No matter what he picks, somebody’s going to yell at him:)
Manhattan Projects
Planet of the Apes Special
Batman: The Night of the Owls HC
BQ: Seeing the completed art for a short comic story I wrote.
Seconded on the Planet of the Apes Special
Hold on, when did the follow-up to Battlefields: Night Witches start? And why haven’t I been told about it?
Getting that, FuryMAX, Django Unchained and Batman.
It was called MOTHERLAND.
Oh yeah The Manhattan Projects finally, plus Clone & I think I’ll try Uncanny X-Men #1!

BQ: Got buried under four feet of snow.
Good week. Looking forward to Fury Max, Manhattan Projects, and of course, Batman.
BQ: This was literally the dullest weekend I’ve had in a while. Umm. My little three year old niece told me I was her best friend. May not be interesting to you, but my heart grew three sizes.
Having a four month old daughter that I hope says the same thing to me one day, I totally get it.
Kind of a light week this week, but I’m cool with that. That said, I’d *really* like to check out Hoax Hunters. I remember hearing about it in either an episode of Don’t Miss or Word Balloon and it really sounds like fun.

Must say that I’m super stoked for Uncanny and the Bat…
I’m buying Batman #17 as an issue for the first time since #1 because I just can’t wait to find out what’s going on under that serving tray. Normally, I’m a trade waiter but man, I’ve just got to know.

Holy crap, that’s some good comics.
BQ: Outrageously bitchy woman was the first person to come into the store Saturday . This woman got pissed and stormed out when I was trying to get the info I needed to help her. Brushed it off and didn’t let it get to me. Sunday morning, my boss forwards me an email her husband, who I had zero interaction with, wrote to corporate saying how rude I was. That got to me, and I just got madder and madder about it until I finally called my boss and told him to start looking for my replacement.I’ve been so sick of this shit job, with shit pay, where I am entirely overworked for quite a while now. This finally pushed me over the edge. That guy never stepped one foot into my store, nor did he call.
TL;DR: Raging bitchhole gives me the push I needed to get going with the job hunt.
Also, level 20 in Star Trek Online. Wheeeeeee new ship! Pew pew pew I’m shootin’ Klingons.
Some people get on their high horse & think they know best, just somethings aren’t worth it or stressing over screw’em all!
This week is full of great books, I’ll have a hard time choosing which to read first–well, after Batman–it’s one of my favorite problems to have.
Batman: Hard to contain my excitement for this
BPRD: I wish this was longer, so I could enjoy more James Harren art.
F4: This got off to a decent start, but I’m hoping the pace starts to pick up.
Fatale: The second of four one-shots, I’m interested to learn more about the curse, so this should be fun.
Manhattan Projects: I don’t think I’ll ever tire of the historical craziness found in this book, the stranger it gets, the bigger I smile.
Popeye: I’ve enjoyed this, but I might drop it because it just isn’t must read. The stories are fun and all, but the nostalgia factor that got me pulling this in the first place is wearing off.
Saucer Country: I’m still bummed this is canceled. Ryan Kelley’s artwork is a real treat though, so I’m just gonna enjoy these last three issues.
BQ: Sadly, I didn’t do anything very cool this weekend. I guess the most interesting thing was playing “Monster Tag” with my 2-year old nephew and his 3 imaginary friends. It consists of running around in a circle and yelling monster tag. He really likes monsters, which is a bond we share, so it was pretty fun.
“Batman #17”, “Before Watchmen: Comedian #5”, “Todd, the Ugliest Kid on Earth #2”.
BQ: I got my tickets to Gem City Comic Con after only 4 days of waiting!
Fantastic Four
Wolverine and the X-Men
Manhattan Projects
Walking Dead
BQ: Nothing much, I hurt my back friday so I was mostly lying in bed. I missed a gig because of my stupid back. Oh well.
Batman 17 I think Alfred is dead and his Head is under the dome with an apple shoved in his mouth because the Joker wants to show Batman he is just like everyone in Arkham Asylum by having Batman kill him.
BQ: Watched all four Spider-Man films and realizing Spider-Man 3 sucked compared to the others and realizing that my 17 year old self was crazy or absolutely stupid
BATMAN
BUFFY
FURY MAX
PETER PANZERFAUST
STAR WARS
BQ: Visited the parents!
Awww. Ron missed out on the relaunch of Uncanny X-Men.
Come to think of it, remember when Ron said he’d quit reading if Marvel ever renumbered Uncanny? He went back on that. But little did we know he would quit the show instead!

On the fence about X-Men #41, last issue, cool cover with everybody, Ultimate X-Men cause Brian Wood and the cover is sweet, and Secret Avengers cause I loved Rremenders run on em and this is basically a S.H.I.E.L.D. book which is cool but think we have enough Avengers.
BQ:Sounds lame (maybe not on here) but watching the Walking Dead comeback with a group of friends that I rarely see all at once then came home to a new girl in my world to close the night right. Actually that’s not lame at all.
