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 it out here – Conor, Ron, and Josh.
And what about the rest of the staff? What are they buying? Dave, Jim, Paul, and Mike.
It's a great week of books: Batman and Robin! The Marvels Project! Blackest Night! Fantastic Four! The Flash: Rebirth!
Most exciting of all: I'm back on Green Arrow this month! J.T. Krul takes over writing duties and I've really liked what I've read from him so far. The idea that I can start reading Green Arrow again makes me so happy, I can't even tell you. And check out that snazzy variant cover by Mike Grell!
This week I have the Pick of the Week!
Bonus Question: If you could wake up tomorow and suddenly be a world class athlete in any Winter Olympic event, which would you chose?

Really good week. Lots of good books.
Batman and Robin#9
Black Night #7
Black Night JSA #3
Flash Rebirth #6
Green Arrow #30
New Avengers #62
Superman#697
BQ: Skeleton. It looks like tons of fun going head first down a track at those speeds.
Relatively small week of comics. Can’t wait to see how Flash Rebirth comes to a conclusion.
BQ: I’d be a hockey Forward. If I were world class, it would translate to a potential career in the NHL. Better to earn a living than to be the greatest ski jumper alive.
8 books for me, my biggest week in a while.
Flash: (finally getting) Rebirth(ed)
ASM
FF
Marvels Project
Irredeemable
Muppet King Arthur – the first issue was hilarious, hoping for more of the same
New Avengers
On, and something called Blackest Night…
BQ – The US Curling team need my help! Plus, its about the only event that I could compete in and not risk serious injury and/or death.
Cowboy Ninja Viking #4
Green Arrow #30
Deadpool #20
Black Night #7
BQ – I would say Curling FTW.. but yesterday watching Ski Cross, I was blown away. It looks awesome, I want to do that.
9 books in total. I’m iffy about picking up the second issue of Ultimate Enemy. YAY for more Robocop!
BQ: I’ve barely watched any of the Winter Olympics, but while Curling is fascinating, I’d want to do something like Ski Jumping or something else crazy. Mostly because I’m deathly afraid of heights. I think it would be neat to do a sport where I overcame that.
9 picks for me this week
BQ:Curling or Hockey
BQ – if I trained, I think I could actually be an Olympic Curler, so I’m gonna go with Ski Cross!
Nine books for me this week. It seems that all the Vertigo books I read (Madame Xanadu, Unknown Soldier, and Northlanders) always come out the same week. Not that I’m complaining, because they are all great books. Blackest Night, Batman and Robin, and Fantastic Four will be at the top of my stack, and I’ll get to Flash: Rebirth after a quick re-reading of the previous 5 issues.
BQ: Biathlon. That way I’d be good at both skiin’ and shootin’.
Slow but solid week for me. Good stuff.
BQ: I’d rather be a world class olympic commentator. Those are much harder to come by and are a necessary part of the olympics regardless of who wins.
Anyone else find it funny that Marvel is re-releasing the Cable & Deadpool team-up book now with it being called DEADPOOL & Cable. It’s kinda fucked up if you ask me, but it’s marketing so i can’t blame them. They had to add Cable to a Deadpool book to get sales, now that the Deadpool character is a lot more populour then Cable, let’s change the name of the book around….
BQ: Speed Skating. It looks super cool, and no one "doesn’t get it" unlike curling.
@siraim: The greatest ski jumper alive — that Harry Potter looking dude — is quite wealthy. These sports are huge in a lot of European countries.
BQ: Hockey player, defensive.
BQ: I’d be like Ovechkin (Hockey player). And I would love to lay out Jagr just like the other day. Best hit ever!
Blackest Night #7 (OF 8)
Blackest Night JSA #3 (OF 3)
Fantastic Four By Jonathan Hickman Prem Hc Vol 01
Green Arrow #30
BQ: I would love to be a hockey Defensemen. With me Zedeno Chara are similar in size it still gives me some hope, but Flying Tomato money and snowboarding is hard to pass on as well.
Also, how about that hockey game last night?
I predict the POW will be…Blackest Night #7. It will be the end that Conor is looking for, that skews to his sensibilities in several ways…Now I wait.
Not sure what my pick will be. Amazing Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, or New Avengers all seem like candidates for my pull list.
BQ: I’ve been wondering how much training, minimum, I’d have to take in order to do ski-jumping just because it looks like so much fun. So I guess I’d go with that.
@Roi: It was amazing, but what makes it even better for the USA is that we don’t have to see Russia or Canada until the gold medal game!
Amazing Spider-Man #622
Batman & Robin #9
Blackest Night #7
Cowboy Ninja Viking #4
Flash Rebirth #6
Irredeemable #11
New Avengers #62
BQ: I’d have to go with Speed Skating, but I would have to make some adjustments to the outfit. Like adding a cape, a cowl, a utility belt, under roos, you know essentials.
Lots of good stuff this week…. Blackest Night, Flash: Rebirth, a couple of other good things. This’ll be a good week.
BQ: Downhill Skiing. I raced for a couple years and it was the most fun I’ve ever had in a sport. I’d LOVE to do it again
Lots of cool stuff this week – Blackest Night and Seige books, Flash: Rebirth finale, Batman & Robin, Northlanders and Scalped from Vertigo, Image United, Walking Dead, Ultimate Enemy, FF, Irredeemable.
BQ: Lindsay Vonn’s ski pants
BQ: I am pretty sure I can use a broom, so Curling wouldn’t require any wishing. Norwegian female curlers are hot though. Makes me go like that wolf from the Droopy cartonns.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaoga!*bang bang* aaaoh aaoh aaoh"
Just Amazing Spider-Man, Irredeemable, and Robocop for me. And maybe Wonder Woman. We’ll see.
Batman & Robin, Scalped, Ms Marvel and Image United #0 for me this week.
BQ: Wait, so curling is a real thing? I thought they just made that up on the Simpsons.
Flash Rebirth, Blackest Night, Nation X, X-Factor, Batman and Robin, Fantastic Four, Black Lantern Green Arrow, and Spider-Man Clone Saga, because I’m an idiot.
BQ: Speed skating short track. Cause it seems like I’d get to hang out with, and eventually make my move on, that redhead on the women’s team. Katherine Reutter, I think.
Could it be? Is Flash: Rebirth #6 actually coming out? What are the bookmakers’ odds for this?
@roi & forestiwp~ That hockey game was really great last night. Miller played an amazing game at goal. Otherwise, I think Canada would have spanked us.
Flash: Rebirth is finally going to end! Wahoo! Also looking forward to new Scalped, Choker, ASM, Batman and Robin, and of course, Blackest Night!
BQ: Downhill skiing, Super G, etc. Those look like crazy fun.
@Neb @forestjwp The twitterverse went apeshit during that game more son than i’ve seen throughout the entire olympics so far
Add in Joe the Barbarian #2 (shop didnt have it last week) and I got some goooooooood stuff this week.
Batman and Robin, Blackest Night, Deadpool (Hit-Monkey!!), and Thor.
BQ: Curling. Not cause it looks simple but it does look very intriguing.
BQ: If I could wake up tomorrow with a world class athlete in any Winter Olympic event it would be Scottish curler Eve Muirhead.
I may have misread the question.
Looking forward to Blackest Night 7 & Flash Rebirth 6. Felt like I had missed an issue it’s been so long.
Blacknest Night, no shock. But New Avengers has been good lately too.
BQ: I’d do one of the crazy jump based ski events. Either tricks or distance, whichever.
Should be a good week with Blackest Night, Fantastic Four, and Scalped. Batman & Robin is on the chopping block…if this issue is as lackluster as the last two I think I may drop it.
BQ: Alpine skiing, without a doubt.
BQ:Whichever one has the highest profile,so I could use the limelight to voice my views in the media regarding governments wasting money on sport (and the arts I guess) when we haven’t solved the really important stuff like environmental issues,underfunded government agencies like child welfare departments and the hundreds of other vital things that deserve to have millions and millions of dollars thrown at them instead.
I understand people like things like the Olympics but maybe it would help the world more to just get behind events where the athletes aren’t tax payer supported.
Looking forward to Blackest Night, JSA Blackest Night and the FF on Hoth.
BQ:Gotta go with hockey.
7 books for me this week, which is a monster week for me these days. Flash: Rebirth is finally here!
BQ: I’d be a hockey player. defensemen.
Great week for superheroes. Batman, green lantern, flash. DC, baby.
BQ: so we’re talking world class or olympic level? Because i’m pretty sure i could make it on the australian downhill team now

Good strong week, with my standouts being more Fantastic Four by Hickman and a new Scalped. Not sure how to feel about Flash Rebirth, it’s just been so long. Also excited for more Nocenti and Jr Jr Daredevil reprints in the Lone Stranger TPB
BQ: Biathlon – then I can have a second career as a James Bond villain.
Seems like a good week https://ifanboy.com/users/lantern4life/comics
BQ: Snowboarding
a nice light week for me:
Amazing Spider-Man
Batman and Robin
Blackest Night
Fantastic Four
Northlanders
BQ: I’d be on the jamacan bobsled team.
@conor That’s insane that they’re no clubs. Especially how eclectic NYC is. One would think as least someone would’ve started one by now. Do you curl?
I would have guessed that you could find ANYTHING in NYC. I guess I was wrong. Curling’s actually a fun sport to play, because it’s a social sport that involves a lot of drinking. Sort of like bowling.
BQ: Hockey player. I really hope the pros are back for 2012 in Russia.
@vadamowens: Never have. I would like to give it a try, though.
