BQ: Rocketeer’s Helmet and Jetpack
Age of Ultron #4
All New X-men #10
Superior Spider-man #7
It’s a small week for me, as I only have one book, which is on a trial basis. The decision to re-number the G.I. Joe books (again) is giving me the “out” I was looking for the drop the book.
BQ: Anything related to Batman is too easy, so I’ll go with Master Chief’s helmet from Halo.
BQ: Not comic book related but probably the cane from Citizen Kane. ; )
But in all seriousness it would be a mask from the Spider-Man movies.
Shork week means i get to sample a couple of interesting DC books:
Getting:
Animal Man
Green Arrow
Godzilla: Half Century War
Trying:
Earth Two (new gods!!!)
Stormwatch (Starlin! Good looking preview!)
Worlds’ Finest (Kitson! PG classic costume soon!)
BQ: well i already have a pair of hand carved Final Fantasy VIII Gunblades up there…but yeah, i’d go for the Rocketeer helmet as well.
Although a classic era Sonic Screwdriver would be cool too.
BQ: One of the masks from the Creature From the Black Lagoon.
Harbinger Wars
Shadowman
Venom
Masks
Action Comics( please be good, please be good)
and Green Lantern
B.Q.: I don’t have any thing like that. I would like Thors hammer though. I feel that could go with any decor.
BQ: How about a Rocket Racoon or Krypto or even Bugs Bunny head over that fire place.
….looking realistic but recognizable.
Wow, what a small week just All New X-Men & Mind The Gap!
Print:
‘Tec, Dial H (might drop after this issue), Earth 2, GL, Godzilla, Daredevil End of Days, Deadpool
Digital: (=will eventually read, but maybe not for another month)
Green Arrow
Might get (=after hearing other people’s reviews)
Animal Man, Swamp Thing, Indestructible Hulk, Thanos Rising
Anyone else found their pull-list shrinking after the introduction of a child into your life? Time has become more of a precious commodity, which means I’ve become much pickier (probably a good thing in the end). There are worse problems to have.
BQ: Probably something from The Dark Knight – I really liked the batarang/joker card/two-face coin replicas they were selling awhile back.
Doh! Daredevil not out this week – stupid pull list app!
Yup. Having a kid makes getting reading time very precious. I’ve found digital the way to go though. It’s much easier to read a digital comic on a backlit tablet than a print version in the kids room while trying to get her back to sleep in the middle of the night. At least now middle of the night wakes are a bit more bearable thanks to comics.
Another small week for me. No complaints though. Looking forward to All New X.
BQ: This is tough, but off the top of my head I’d love to have a nice Han Solo blaster. Or the glass case original arc reactor that Pepper gives Tony in the first Iron Man, complete with the enscription “Proof That Tony Stark Has A Heart”. That’d be nice.
AGE OF ULTRON #4
ALL-NEW X-MEN #10
DEADPOOL #7
EARTH 2 #11
HARBINGER WARS #1
INDESTRUCTIBLE HULK #6
MISS FURY #1
SUPER DINOSAUR #18
THANOS RISING #1
WORLDS’ FINEST #11
Never read Miss Fury, but it looks neat so I am going to give it a try. Wondering if I can jump into Harbinger Wars with little Valiant exposure… we will see. When I heard Diggle was picking up Action, I thought about it… but I just can’t get on board with that artist. Not my cup of tea.
BQ: One thing? That’s hard. Possibly the Infinity Gauntlet.
BQ: The Triumvirate. Left side: Gravity gun. Right side: Portal gun. Middle: Crowbar.
NICE!
BQ: I would say Aragorn’s sword Anduril, Flame of the West, re-forged from the shards of Narsil. However, since Stephen Colbert already owns it and isn’t giving it up any time soon, I’m going to say the Empathy Gun from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
Jumped back on All-New X-Men. I’d dropped it after the first arc because the 3 x-books I get are all double shipping and it seemed a bit much. I picked up the issues I missed, so now I need to catch back up.
BQ: I’d set a Maltese Falcon on my mantle. Or maybe Nigel Tufnel’s Fender Bass VI would look nice mounted. My house guests would not be allowed to touch, point, or look at it.
The Maltese Falcon is a great choice!
Huge week this week. So psyched for the conclusion of Godzilla: HCW.
BQ: Don’t really dig on props, but gun to my head I’d have to go with a comic accurate Green Lantern Ring/Lantern.

BQ: Toshiro Mifune’s giant sword from Seven Samurai
EARTH 2 #11, yay!
BQ: I seriously want a carbonite-frozen Han Solo mounted above my fireplace (horizontally). It’ll be behind a small curtain, so when visitors ask what’s behind the curtain, I can laugh like Jabba and then reveal my eternal prisoner… 🙂
I’m really curious to see where Animal Man and Swamp Thing go next, so those are probably my most anticipated. Also looking forward to Shadowman, Masks and Thanos Rising. May pick up Stormwatch for Starlin or the $1 reprint of Massive #1 (they’ll be in store decisions).
BQ: never really thought about this before. Perhaps one of those spherical chairs from The Prisoner . . .
LIGHT WEEK!! thank god I need a catch up week.

BQ: wow that’s a tough one. I really don’t know… And I’ve given the crappiest answer in history in the process.
Small week…kind of refreshing, actually. It’ll give me time to dig into my Fear Agent library edition.
BQ: Easy. Deckard’s gun.
BQ: Alan Grant’s raptor claw from Jurassic Park.
Deadpool
Dial H
Indestructible Hulk
BQ: The tennis ball from The Shining. You know, the one Jack uses when he is having fits of writer’s block. I’d use it all the time the same way he uses it.
Action Comics (Daniel’s art looks amazing for this, too bad Diggle won’t be around though)
Back Issue (the best comics magazine ever published in my opinion)
Batwing (don’t usually get this but am curious about the new direction)
Detective Comics
Earth 2
G.I. Joe Special Missions
Green Arrow (wow, this series is stellar now)
BQ: Alien head!

I have actually been enjoying Smallville with the four issue “episodes”.
I saw someone mention Power Girl’s old costume coming back, if that is true, that would make me very happy.
BQ: I was going to say something of the Fantastic Four’s, but it is all to big. Maybe the Ultimate Nullifier.
Really excited for Stormwatch #19 and the continuity shitstorm that will take over the internet!
Good BQ, I have to think that one for a min…..

BQ: I still like Blades sword. Others I would proudly display are a Fallout 3 helmet, Mass Effect rifle, Batmans throwing bats or his EMP rifle from DKR,Thors Hammer, Caps shield, IronMan’s mini chest arc reactor, Snake Eyes sword with the Arashikage I Ching symbol, Halo energy sword, 100 things off of the Walking Dead and Game of Theones but honestly most of all I would like a life size replica of a GOLD LANCER from Gears of War. (Or Jack Nicholsons Jokers long barrel he shot the Batwing down with in Tim Burton’s Batman), just those few, no big deal.
BQ: Claptrap’s Eye
This seems to be the monthly Marvel-only week for me.

BQ – Maximus’ armour from the first battle in Gladiator.
Planet of the Apes 8
Green Arrow 19 (really well written!)
Abe Sapien 1
All New X-Men 10 (I meant to trade wait this but I have a feeling this will read really well after Uncanny X-Men 3)
Super late to the party, but I just started reading BPRD Plague of Frogs Vol 1 and I’m all aboard the Abe Sapien train. I’ve read a lot of Hellboy but BPRD is next level. I’m always looking forward to Smallville and BQ Miller. I started reading his Stephanie Brown Batgirl a few weeks ago. I think the new 52 dropped the ball by not continuing that book.
EARTH 2
RED SHE-HULK
GODZILLA: THE HALF-CENTURY WAR
SMALLVILLE
ABE SAPIEN
BQ: Starman’s/Star Girl’s Cosmic Staff would be pretty rad.
BQ: There was a quadfire RL mod for Unreal 1 that had four firing modes: guided single, heat-seeking single, line-of-sight salvo, drunk rocket salvo. That would be nice. Or maybe the railgun from Quake III. Perhaps the Dragon’s Tooth from Deus Ex…
BQ: I’m tardy to the party as usual, but here’s my two cents worth. On the fireplace mantle, a power battery. On my lapel, the Eye of Agamotto.
