Comments

  1. hbkhumanity hbkhumanity says:

    Lookung forward to New Avengers, Yay on the beards.

  2. Amazing Spider-Man #550

    Still enjoying the new Spidey. I got no beef with the changes, I like fun Spider-man and this title feels fun for the first time in years

  3. Where’d the rest of my comments go?

  4. chelsea chelsea says:

    I’m looking forward to the walking dead and sword. Yay on the beards definitely.

  5. Neb Neb says:

    I’m looking forward to Iron Man: Enter the Madarin–that book is going to be bad to the ass–also looking forward to Black CanaryGreen Arrow and Tiny Titans.

  6. Josh Flanagan josh (@jaflanagan) says:

    I must say, I was disturbed at the relative lack of pulls for Iron Man: Enter the Mandarin.

  7. Neb Neb says:

    It is disappointing, but that series has just been really awesome–hopefully, peeps will look into it this week.

  8. Neb Neb says:

    I have to say that my favorite new feature is the pull list feature—soooooo bad ass!

  9. juand182 juand182 says:

    can’t wait for avengers and for tiny titans!!

  10. deezer deezer says:

    The only iffy thing on my list this week (in my opinion) is X-Force, so this week is looking to be awesome. The only un-awesome thing? I have to walk through a snowstorm to get to the store… then wait 3 hours until after my EMT final exam to read them! I’m most looking forward to New Avengers though…

    Bonus: Beards? I’ve got one now so most definitely

  11. GungaDin GungaDin says:

    New Avengers looks good… It’s a slow, slow week… But I love the beards. They’re spiffy and awesome..

  12. English says:

    Looking forward to New Avengers and the Nova Annual, New

  13. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    I’m excited for the Alias reunion, and Green Arrow and Black Canary is one of my favorite books, but I find myself most looking forward to Tiny Titans!

  14. English says:

    exiles i really want to like but only if Chris Clairemont gets his writing together. Beards look good but only when the people wearing them arent up till 4am.

  15. JonSamuelson JonSamuelson says:

    Goon #21 is leading the pack right now for me this week.

  16. Marbles Marbles says:

    Not much love out there for Jack Staff – well worth a look guys, new story arc ‘n all.

    Otherwise I’m interested to see Jason (Scalped) Aaron’s take on Ghost Rider, and The Sword is completely mental. In a good way.

  17. JonSamuelson JonSamuelson says:

    Oh, and Yay on beards.

  18. Jim Mroczkowski Jimski (@jimski) says:

    I cannot flamin’ wait for New Avengers, X-Factor, Spider-Man… not a huge week, but a good week.

    Josh, it’s likely that plenty of people are like me and planning to buy the Enter the Mandarin trade. This is the only way in which plenty of people are like me, fortunately for them.

    I see a few books this week, actually, that will have to wait for the trade. Astro City, I’m never buying in issue form again; they can’t be bothered to put it out. Millar’s FF, I’m curious about, but I want to read a metric tonne of good reviews from people I trust before I pay for it.

  19. WarrenPeace WarrenPeace says:

    Slow week and beards are only for playoffs!!!!

  20. Luthor Luthor says:

    There’s Walking Dead and then there’s everything else.

  21. Neb Neb says:

    I think the new FF will be pretty good. I really enjoyed what Millar did on Ultimate FF, so he should have a pretty solid run with the first family.

  22. Labor Labor says:

    Green Arrow/Black Canary tops my list this week. Followed by Wonder Woman and Walking Dead.

    Though I may be more excited for Wonder Woman, truth be told. Simone seems o be setting up some long term threads and the way she is coming at the Wonder Woman mythos is fascinating.

  23. Labor Labor says:

    Oops!

    Bonus: Yay to beards. Especially, if we get to see them grow in real time via streaming web cam.

    Yay with all my heart.

  24. PatK says:

    Ah man seems like the calm before the storm for me. Can’t wait for the tpb for Sinestro Corps.

  25. PatK says:

    Damn, rest of my comment got cut T_T. Just was wondering if Checkmate was supposed to be coming out this week I could’ve sworn it was damnit!

  26. PatK says:

    Damn, rest of my comment got cut T_T. Just was wondering if Checkmate was supposed to be coming out this week I could’ve sworn it was damnit!

  27. SixGun SixGun says:

    The Walking Dead and Wolverine are tops and I guess I’m buying Tiny Titans now ;) (oh, and last week’s Nightwing)

  28. I would say New Avengers and Tiny titans.

  29. thisisegan thisisegan says:

    Walking Dead, the Goon and Booster Gold all in the same week?

  30. thisisegan thisisegan says:

    Oh, also yay on beards.

  31. esophagus esophagus says:

    Walking Dead is most anticipated as always, and American Virgin is right up there. As for the bonus question? Beards all the way.

  32. adrian adrian says:

    I’m hoping the new FF is good.

  33. Timmy Wood TimmyWood (@TimmyWood) says:

    It’s a pretty light week. I am going to pick up Wolverine mainly because of Aaron. I might flip through both Ghost Rider and Fantastice Four but I probably won’t buy them.

  34. ChrisGo ChrisGo says:

    Truth be told, I am really excited for Tiny Titans. Not to mention New Avengers and Wolverine.

    What kind of beards? Well groomed beards or grizzled unkempt beards? My vote is for the grizzled beards.

  35. DavidB DavidB says:

    Only one book for me this week, Walking Dead, so it looks like I’ll be continuing my catch up on Daredevil and be gitting Vol.11 of the Bendis run in trade.

  36. DavidB DavidB says:

    null

  37. DavidB DavidB says:

    My comments keep getting cut out!

  38. guys, guys, guys…. City of Others TPB!! 2 words – Bernie Wrightson

  39. Is there a character limit on comments? Seem to keep losing a paragrah

  40. Is there a character limit on comments? Seem to keep losing a paragrah

  41. SmokMnky SmokMnky says:

    Can I make a complaint about the new pull list? Really I can, sweet.

  42. SmokMnky SmokMnky says:

    Oh hey I got cut off. So don’t use returns kiddies. Anyway, my complaint, can we go back to having the list ordered by publisher?

  43. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    @SmokMnky – You can sort the pull list any way you want – by publish, alphabetical, or by most pulls.

  44. hidefjohn hidefjohn says:

    I’m with Conor on Tiny Titans.

  45. hidefjohn hidefjohn says:

    aahhh the comment monster ate the rest of what I typed!

  46. SmokMnky SmokMnky says:

    @Conor I can see a

  47. SmokMnky SmokMnky says:

    Oh man, the comments seem to have a lot of bugs in them. Anyway, I was hoping for: All Publishers – Alphabetical Title. I only see how to filter by publisher but not sort.

  48. Paul Montgomery PaulMontgomery (@fuzzytypewriter) says:

    Tiny Titans it is!

  49. Eyun Eyun says:

    Short week for me, just Gotham Underground #5 and DMZ.

  50. Mike Romo mikeromo (@rikemomo) says:

    Should be a good week but I do need to give a shout out to Action (thanks for mentioning this, Connor) and Black Adam from last week (or the one previous)–no one talked about Black Adam on the show, but I thought the art was dope…

  51. Eyun Eyun says:

    Oh, and yay for beards! Except of course Ron’ll have less facial hair to grow so that’s an unfair advantage right there!

  52. i’m hearing a lot of peps are geting Tiny titan. I wonder if that means if it will be on the podcast. I hope it does. I think it will be fun

  53. Brandon2 Brandon2 says:

    Short week for me, just The Goon and 100 Bullets.

  54. Brandon2 Brandon2 says:

    All my posts get cut off after a single sentence.

  55. daveashton daveashton says:

    Most looking forward to Green Arrow/Black Canray and Booter Gold. Great books both of them.

  56. daveashton daveashton says:

    Obviously I meant Canary and Booster. Not Canray and Booter. Although thats a good name for a sitcom maybe.

  57. ohcaroline ohcaroline says:

    My only for-sure is X-Factor, which I’ve read from the beginning.

  58. ohcaroline ohcaroline says:

    Let’s see if foregoing periods gets me another sentence maybe Wolverine for Mystique or XForce from curiosity or New Avengers ’cause the cool kids are doing it beards until the end of secret invasion/final crisis maybe?

  59. PV PV says:

    Prolly most looking forward to Dead of Night: Man-Thing, in my ongoing quest for a good horror book.

  60. Animalvader1 Animalvader1 says:

    I’m shocked only 18 peeps pulled

    Fantastic Four Lost Adventure

  61. AlexG AlexG says:

    oddly enough I want to read that Sub Mariner trade. I missed the issues but was kind of curious….

  62. Animalvader1 Animalvader1 says:

    My post got cut off. FF Lost Adventure is un-seen Stan Lee and Jack Kirby people! Lets show some love. Oh and, Yah for the beards!

  63. cormano cormano says:

    I’m excited for the stuff that I’m excited for every time they come out: New Avengers, Spider-Man and War Journal; but this week there is some other exciting stuff like the first issue of the Next Issue Project and the Fantastic Four: The Lost Adventure.

  64. cormano cormano says:

    Minus periods and colons, apparently; A golden age book and a silver age book are my most anticipated releases in 2008, kind of funny,

  65. Doski Doski says:

    Speaking from experience, beards look just plain weird for about two weeks.

  66. Threshold Threshold says:

    Looking forward to Tiny Titans.

  67. Threshold Threshold says:

    My 4 year old son loved the TT cartoon, since it went off the air Marvel has sunk their claws into him via the sweet Super Hero Squad toy line – I love that he loves superheroes, don’t get me wrong, but I look forward to sharing some DC love with him!

  68. azcbguy azcbguy says:

    Walking Dead.

  69. Eyun Eyun says:

    PV, your avatar is the coolest I’ve seen yet! Good work, sir!

  70. JFernandes JFernandes says:

    Looking forward to New Avengers most.

    BQ:  Yay to beards.

  71. misterS misterS says:

    I’m waiting for the trade on Iron Man Enter the Mandarin.  I loved the first two, then decided to wait.   Otherwise, BPRD is my most anticipated book.

  72. Neb Neb says:

    Oh man! BRPD!  I totally forgot about that book.  Sweet.  I’m lovin’ me some Hellboy universe these days.

  73. Neb Neb says:

    I know I already said this, but goddamnit, I love the new pull list feature.  It’s just too cool, and now, I’m going to be checking this site like every 15 nanoseconds to see what others have to say about their books. 

  74. apoptosis81 apoptosis81 says:

    Looking forward to BPRD and New Avengers the most.  Love the new pull lists!

  75. JFernandes JFernandes says:

    Upon closer inspection, I’m more looking forward to Aaron/Garney’s work on Wolverine.

  76. acbg acbg says:

    I saw this guy I used to like at the coffee shop earlier and I had to do a double take. He had a long beard. I guess beards are the new thing… ick yay for trend nay for me. 

    Anywho, after getting a cute poster of Tiny Titans from my CBG, I’m looking forward to that the most, then Wonder Woman, Green Arrow/Black Canary. Also, the last issue of American Virgin. :(  

      

  77. target242 target242 says:

    Am i the only one reading Necessary Evil? I highly recommend it! The premise is kinda cool. A school for the sons and daughters of super-villians! It’s kinda like that old Saturday morning cartoon show from the 80′s, for the life of me i can’t remember the name: about some kind of super-hero high school/heroes-in-training kind of thing. Only here, you have to do bad things to stay in school….check it out!

  78. I am looking forward to New Avengers and Wolverine the most.

     

    And I say yes for beards if we see photos.

  79. milk milk says:

    josh. is IRON MAN:ENTER THE MANDARIN that good? i keep thinking of picking it up for the art, but it’s iron man so…

  80. milk milk says:

    BQ; nay. unless its a full-on grizley adams. NO beard sculpting. way to metro-sexual.

  81. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    @Jurassicalien – You would have seen all three of our beards last night had you been around for the impromptu live feed push to 3.0 chat session!

    @milk – IRON MAN: ENTER THE MANDARIN is great.  It’s old school, no Civil War baggage, super hero fun! 

  82. g0ofgnewt g0ofgnewt says:

    Dropping New Avngers. I Just don’t know why I bother with Marvel superhero teams. That being saif I am loving Brand New Day!

    Beards: As long as you don’t ask us to do it. I have brown hair and a red beard weird. 

  83. Diabhol Diabhol says:

    Re: Comics: Enter the Mandarin rocks. Also looking forward to Black Panther (am I the only one still reading this?) and X-Force. Iffy on Wolverine

    Re: Beards: Yes for Josh, no for Ron, either way for Conor.

  84. darkalley darkalley says:

    Enter the Mandarin is great for the art alone.

    Intersted to see where GA/BC goes from here.

    Had no idea Tiny Titans were so popular, been

    reading about it in several places… hm… worth investigating? 

  85. Dan Dan says:

    Walking Dead is always my most anticipated book whenever it comes out. I could never imagine reading this in trades.

    Just read a review of X-Force, and I think I may have to give it a try.

    Busiek always delivers on the Astro City one-shots, so Beautie should be a great read.

    Booster Gold #0? Brilliant idea.

    FF #554? At least it’ll look pretty, and probably have one of those splash-page, character close up while uttering some witty line last pages that Millar seems to love. My bet will be Reed, looking right at the reader, some kind of glowing orange-ish scientific machines behind him, saying "Time to be fantastic." Of course, I’m not a writer.

    Next Issue Project could be an interesting bit of nostalgia as long as it doesn’t go with the Superpowers/The Twelve bring-them-to-the-modern-age thing.

    Beards: As an occasionally bearded man, I vote no. It veers toward looking disheveled and sloppy after a while.

  86. nickmaynard says:

    yay for the beards. do it.

  87. Weston Weston says:

    yay for beards. bring forth more hair

  88. baggo says:

    I’m torn between Tiny Titans and Walking Dead as the last Comic to read (I always save the last spot for the book I’m most excited about).

    YAY TO BEARDS!!!

  89. wolf wolf says:

    loving GA & BC

     YAY for beards, mega-YAY

  90. daccampo daccampo says:

    Interesting to look at my pulls and see what has the most pulls and what has the fewest.

    Most: News Avengers #38

    Least: Crossing Midnight Vol. 2 

  91. daccampo daccampo says:

    It may be worth pointing out that it’s almost all GUYS who are saying "Yay" to the beards. So, even though I’ve only seen one post in the negative, it came from a woman, so…you know…I’d say it’s still a very close contest. :D

     

     

  92. ArchMerc ArchMerc says:

    New Avengers, awaits.

    Bonus:Ron = mutton chops, Josh = clean shaven, Conor = full scraggle, Gordon = porn star mustache

  93. target242 target242 says:

    i agree with the above comment: Gordon with porn star mustache AND he should grow a mullet as well…

  94. Animalvader1 Animalvader1 says:

    @ArchMerc–Awesome Avatar dude! and nice answer to the BQ as well.

  95. mistersizzle mistersizzle says:

    BQ:  As someone who looks like a 3 year old baby butt without a beard, I say yay.

  96. Josh Flanagan josh (@jaflanagan) says:

    For the record…the wife loves the beard.
