    BQ: A Paleontologist, mainly because of Calvin and Hobbes.

  6. My pul list is really long this week. It is going to hurt.

  8. Holy crap, what a great week!

    Saga, Avengers, Thor, DD, Superior SM, JL, JLA #1, Nova #1, Indestructible Hulk, WW! If Snyder’s Batman came out this week, I could skip the rest of the month!

    Wait a sec, there’s a new G.I. Joe #1? Another reboot?

    Sticking with LSH #17 as, whatever went down, it’s a final opportunity to read some new Giffen/Levitz Legion, even if it’s only for two issues. Still wondering what the hell happened though.

  10. hoping my shop gets this weeks and last weeks because of it i missed batman.

  11. DAREDEVIL #23
    HELLBLAZER #300

    Contemplating adding Indestructible Hulk as I’ve really been digging Waid on Daredevil. And while I was never a regular reader of Hellblazer, I pretty well knew his story and I’m genuinely curious as to how it ends.

    BQ: In no particular order, superhero, rock and roll star, cowboy, and Bo Duke.

  12. Saga, Avengers, Happy! & JSA Liberty Files: The Whistling Skull!!!

    BQ- Funnily enough a writer, now I am a retail manager doing a plumbing course in my spare time. So close!

  13. Biggest week ever for me:

    DC: Action Comics, Batwoman, justice League, JLA, Wonder Woman, Vibe (trying).

    Marvel: Avengers.

    Dark Horse: The Black Beetle, Conan.

    Image: Saga, Happy.

    BQ: a paleontologist. I’m not one.

  14. Looks like a really great week.

    Probably looking forward to Saga and all the Marvel Now books the most.

    BQ: A cartoonist.

  15. I’m gonna wait and see what the iFanboys say about VIBE and NOVA before I spend money on those titles instead of on food.

    BQ: I wanted to be a writer, and straight. One out of two ain’t bad. Also, I wanted to be a superpowered superhero doing super things for the world, and though I haven’t tackled that yet, I still have a few decades to make it happen (hopefully).

  16. Superior Spider-man
    Justice League
    Supergirl
    Deadpool

    BQ: Policeman and Batman

  17. Avengers #6
    Captain America #4
    Daredevil #23
    Deadpool #5
    Indestructible Hulk #4
    Justice League #17
    Justice League of America #1
    Locke & Key: Omega # 3
    Nightwing #17
    Nova #1
    Saga # 10
    Thor: God of Thunder #5

    BQ: I wanted to be President and a weatherman at the same time

  18. I have never enjoyed a Nova comic book before (I’ve only read a few) and Jeph Loeb deserves no benefit of the doubt after the last several years at Marvel BUT….I am actually very excited for this new Nova series. I have no idea why but I have a really good feeling about it. Hope I’m right.

    Other than Nova I’m getting Avengers, Thor, Daredevil, both JLs, Spider-Man, Nightwing, Saga, Happy, Revival, and maybe even Hellblazer.

    Whew. That’s a giant week where I’ll also be getting the Punisher, Wolverine X-Men, and Fraction X-Men trades and the Teen Titans omnibus. I will have no money left.

    BQ: Comic book artist, but it was immediately clear that neither my mind nor hand were capable drawing. I went the other way and wanted to write comics. Right now I’m a journalism major, so that’s fairly close.

  19. BQ: I was born during the Mercury Program and became aware of the world around me during the Apollo Program. I dreamed of growing up to be an Astronaut and going into outer space. I’ve been there many times since in my imagination!

  20. Big comics of the week are Hellblazer, X-Factor, Indestructible Hulk and Avengers.

    BQ: I guess cop, fireman and astonaut.

  21. JUSTICE LEAGUE #17
    DAREDEVIL #23
    INDESTRUCTIBLE HULK #4
    JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #1
    HELLBLAZER #300
    THE SIXTH GUN #29
    THOR: GOD OF THUNDER #5
    AVENGERS #6
    SAGA #10
    GREEN LANTERN CORPS #17
    GREEN LANTERN #17

    BQ: first NY Jets QB (I was a kid in the 70s and Namath was still playing), then Yankees center fielder, then Astronaut. Each dream faded as I realized physical limitations….thanks for dredging up all those failed dreams.

  22. Pretty heavy week for me, but it’s a bunch of rad comics, so I’m happy.
    Baltimore, The Widow and the Tank: This should be good, I’ve loved all the Baltimore stuff so far.
    Batwoman: This is probably my last issue, the story just isn’t compelling enough for me to keep picking it up. I’m bummed because I like Kate as a character.

    Black Beetle: Francavilla doing what he does best. The first issue was cool, so I’m looking forward to this.
    BPRD 1948: I might have to read this whole arc over to really have it sink in, the Fuimara art has been fantastic.
    Conan: I’ve really enjoyed reading Wood’s Conan, looking forward to Mirko Colak’s interpretation artwise.
    Daredevil: Waid and Samnee have kicked ass on every issue, so I expect more of the same. This is one of my favorite characters, and I love this book.

    Saga: Always look forward to this title, Vaughn and Staples deserve all the praise they’ve been getting.
    Wonder Woman: Another of my favorite books, fuckin’ Wonder Woman who would’ve thought.

    BQ: An Air Force Pilot, well pretty much I wanted to be Maverick from Top Gun.(I know he was Navy, but still.)

  23. Wow. Good week.

    Looking forward to Hellblazer, Saga, Thor, Avengers, JLA, JL, and Wonder Woman.

    BQ: My mother tells me that, for some unfathomable reason, I wanted to be a cab driver. Couldn’t tell ya why. I didn’t grow up in a city and when I did move to New York it became even funnier. Also, a cowboy who saves a town and becomes their sheriff. This is before I was aware that things like that and ninja we’re off the table.

  24. Action Comics 17
    Avengers 6
    Daredevil 22/23
    Dark Avengers 187
    Happy 4 (finally!)
    Indestructible Hulk 4
    Justice League 17
    JLA 1
    Nightwing 17
    Superior Spider-Man 4
    Thor: God of Thunder 5
    Wonder Woman 17
    and the third punisher trade!

    Finally dropping Green Lantern, Its the only lantern book i’ve been reading and it really died for me when i found out that I had to buy another book to get the conclusion to rise of the third army, and then hearing that Johns was leaving the book after part two of the lantern books crossover made me want to read it even less.

    • BQ: I’m pretty sure I wanted to be Tommy from the power rangers (white ranger version) then i got too old for that shit and I moved on to wanting to be spider-man. I’m now training to be a lawyer so I guess i’m going the Matt Murdock route (either that or she-hulk).

  25. Avengers #6, Deadpool #5,Green Lantern #17, Indestructible Hulk #4, Judge Dredd #4, Justice League #17, Nightwing #17, Nova #1, Red Hood and the Outlaws #17, Saga #10, Savage Wolverine #2, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #19, The Superior Spider-Man #4, Thor: God of Thunder #5.

    BQ: Chef

  26. I just realized I don’t like “team” books very much, hence:
    Thor – continues to be the book about the character I never gave a crap about before said book told an EPIC story.
    Hulk – been wating for Hulk vs Attuma since I saw the preview 2 months ago. Waid’s Hulk is fun, dammit.
    Daredevil – last issue was big return to previous greatness
    Black Beetle – I buy lots of books just because Francavllla does the covers, so of course I get this.
    X-O Manowar – seems to be under the radar for most folks, but it’s been really entertaining.
    Nova — very wary of this one; The DnA Nova was supreme!

  27. DAREDEVIL #23
    JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #1 (figured I would try it out)
    WONDER WOMAN #17
    THOR: GOD OF THUNDER #5
    NOVA #1
    CAPTAIN AMERICA #4
    AVENGERS #6
    SAGA #10
    HAPPY! #4

  28. Really looking forward to GI Joe #1, Saga, Happy, It Girl and the Atomics, and Revival. Just caught up on Captain Marvel, so also going to grab the next CM issue digitally.

    BQ: I wanted to write DragonLance novels.

  29. FYI: Taking a bit of a sabbatical when it comes to reviews. Will still do a quick comment on thoughts but I’m just too tired/busy to do full on reviews at the moment. You haven’t heard the last of me though!

    Avengers
    Daredevil
    Deadpool
    Indestructible Hulk
    Justice League

    BQ: An Astronomer. Considering how much I read up on astronomy and space in general it’s something I should have pushed for in college.

  30. Saga
    Deadpool
    Savage Wolverine
    Nightwing
    Red Hood and the Outlaws
    X-Factor

    BQ: I wanted to be an actor, but I live in Northern California, not Southern!

  33. Huge week…

    ACTION COMICS #17
    GREEN LANTERN #17
    GREEN LANTERN CORPS #17
    HAPPY! #4
    INDESTRUCTIBLE HULK #4
    JUSTICE LEAGUE #17

    JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA’S VIBE #1
    SAGA #10
    SUPERGIRL #17

    BQ: Wanted to be a writer… Ended up a chemical engineer.

  34. Big week: Most looking forward to Nova, Saga, Black Beetle and Thor.
    BQ: A river boat gambler. I’m not joking. Got to about 15 and I figured out that despite my amazing ability with cards, unless I cheated I wasn’t of the caliber needed to make a living out of it. So I became a magician. Fair compromise I say.

  35. Big week. I will likely drop GL: New Guardians after the first lantern arc. And Harbinger is on the chopping lock because I find the pacing a bit slow for my tastes. (Slow can be cool but it’s not commanding my full attention…which probably means I only WANT to enjoy it.)

    And – though I’m a big DC guy, I am looking forward to both Hulk and Thor quite a bit. Really digging what they’re doing on those titles.

    BQ: According to my wife, I still haven’t grown up. So maybe there’s still time to pioneer a career as a sit-down comedian. (I’m just super lazy.)

  36. Good lord what a week. Some of these might go back on the shelf when I actually make it to the shop. I came back to JL for Reis and Throne of Atlantis, but I’ll probably be dropping after this. This is my last issue of Thor and Deadpool. I’ll be switching to trades. It’s gonna be rough saying goodbye to John Constantine. I’ll get nice and hammered before I read that one.

    I gotta cut some things. This is overwhelming. I think this is the last Batman Beyond Unlimited issue, right? If not, dropped. Some of these are limiteds, but NEW GUARDIANS and Wonder Woman are on notice…

    • Dammit! Forgot BQ!

      BQ: When I was a 6, my pediatrician asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I said “President!” Yeah, missed that goal! LOL

  38. Humongous week for me. So much, in fact, that I panicked and dropped a few books, including Batman and Nova (#1 is already in my pull box though – I hope it sucks because I am already tempted to re-add it to my subs).

  39. Saga, Thor, Locke + Key and Mind MGMT.

    BQ: An artist for Marvel. Nowadays it’d be Image or an indie and writer/artist, but the dream stays relatively the same…

  40. Conan the Barbarian #13
    Daredevil #23
    Dark Horse Presents #21
    Godzilla #10
    Red Hood and the Outlaws #17
    Black Beetle: No Way Out #2
    DC Universe Presents ##17
    Hellblazer #300 – boo last issue, but I am going to give Constantine a shot
    Nightwing #17
    Avengers #6

    BQ: It was a toss up between original X-Men’s Angel and Hawkeye, always thought it would be cool to have wings and bows and arrows are cool too.
