Comments

  1. BQ: Mine’s coming up, but I can’t make it. Kinda bummed, kinda not.

  2. Image’s website still has Planetoid #3 coming out this week, but its not on the ifanboy list. I hope it’s actually coming out this week, because I’m hooked on this one.

  3. I’m looking forward to Becky Cloonan’s art in Batman #12 and I’m giving The Massive one more shot to really sink its hooks in me.

    BQ: If Facebook had been invented prior to my 10th, I would’ve skipped it. 🙂

  4. Most looking forward to Frankenstein and Punk Rock Jesus. I know that I’ll be pumped about Jae Lee’s art on Ozymandias once I see it.

    Went to my 10th a few years ago and had a great time.

  5. Got Batman, Fantastic Four, The Massive, American Vampire:Lord Of Nightmares & a double-bill of Bleach!

    BQ- I don’t think so!

  6. Batman, Batman and Robin, Batgirl, The Massive, and Spidermen.

    BQ: Went to my 10 year and it was fun to reminisce. Everyone was the same but about 20 lbs heavier.

  7. Batman
    Batgirl
    Batman and Robin
    Batman Arkham Unhinged
    Daredevil Annual
    Gambit
    Suicide Squad
    Scarlett Spider

    BQ: LOL, ummm no. Especially being the case I graduated with 370 people.

  8. Batman #12, Batman and Robin #12, Gambit #1, New Avengers #29, Spider-Men #4, The Incredible Hulk #12, & Venom #22

  9. Batman, Massive, and Punk Rock Jesus will ensure that I hit the store before heading to northern Michigan for an extra-long weekend. One of them will get shotgun, the others will have to sit with Batman and Robin and X-Men Legacy in the back seat. And nobody better whine about listening to Radiolab podcasts on the way!

    BQ: My 10 year was a couple years back. I’m glad I went, but I’ll never go to another. I had fun, but with the people I still have fun with on a regular basis anyway. And I could definitely feel all the “awkward high school reunion” scenes from TV and movies weighting heavy on everyone’s interactions.

  10. Amazing Spider-man has been pushed back again! GAAAAAA!!!

  11. Avatar photo DDangelico (@DavidDangelico) says:

    Batman, Ozymandias, Spider-Men, The Massive, and Punk Rock Jesus for me.

  12. Batman, Batman & Robin, Batgirl, Frankenstein Agent of S.H.A.D.E. & Demon Knights ; I’m at least content with each of these titles. Not a claim I can make every week. Stable fixtures on my pull list.

  13. Finally the light week my wallet has been waiting for. Lookin’ forward to Batman.

    BQ: My 10th was last year but I didn’t go. I still talk to everyone I care to talk to. The gossip I get on the rest is more than enough for me.

  14. BQ: 10th is this year. No way in hell I’m going to that bullshit.

  15. A bunch of rad books for me this week.

    American Vampire: Lord of…- This has been awesome, I expect that to continue.
    Batman- Cloonan + Batman= Smiles!
    Blue Estate- Been waiting on this for a couple months now, excited for the conclusion.
    Cap n’ IronMan- Pretty cool, but nothing too special
    Conan- Every issue of this has been fantastic.
    Gambit- I’m optimistic this will be cool, Gambit is, but we’ll see how it turns out.
    Punk Rock Jesus- Fuck yeah, stoked for this
    The Creep- Arcudi is great, so I’m giving it a shot.
    The Massive- I’m still digging the world building that is going on, new artist should be interesting.

    BQ: No, I still see the people I like from High School. Plus then I’d have to talk about how I’m in college at thirty, and have accomplished almost nothing, which isn’t something I enjoy explaining. I could imagine checking out my 20th though.

  16. New Stokoe! double dose of Becky Cloonan! Good looking week!

    Getting:

    Batman, Frankenstein: AoS.

    Fantastic Four

    Conan

    Godzilla: half century war

    Might get: the creep #0 & Atomic Robo mini #2.

  17. BatMan #12
    AV: Lord of Nightmares #3
    It Girl #1
    Atomic Robo #2
    Hoax Hunters #2

    BQ: Mine was three years ago and I didn’t go. Funny thing is people still ask me about a girlfriend I had back then, but haven’t heard from since. Its as though I’m expected to know what she’s been up to all this time. Whatevs…

  18. This week is all about Grendel Omnibus vol. 1! So excited!

    BQ: god no. I didn’t care about those people when I was in high school with them, why would I care about them now?

  19. iv got a light week thank the lord
    1. batman #12
    2. daredevil annual #1
    3. gambit #1

    havent had a reunion yet

  20. I’m gonna take a stab that Gambit #1 will be Conor’s Pick of the Week.

  21. Batman
    Ozymandias
    maybe Star Wars: Lost Tribe of the Sith.
    maybe DD Annual. love Alan Davis. Usually hate annuals. so, we’ll see.

    BQ: i went to three different high schools. i moved around a lot as a kid. so, no. haven’t really thought of any of those people for over 12 years. not till today, anyway.
    who needs ’em?

  22. Pretty standard week for me

    Batman
    Batman N Robin
    Daredevil Annual
    Ozymandias
    The Massive (Very interesting so far)
    New Avengers
    Gambit
    Incredible Hulk (Hoping it gets better with restart)
    Wolverine
    Deadpool Kills MU
    Sensational Spiderman

    Was definitely disappointed Planetoid was postponed. It’s whatevs…

  23. Facebook takes some of the fun out of high school reunions. All the fun of high school reunions are seeing who got fat, bald, and still stuck in the 1980s.

    Last high school reunion at music festival tent with beer trucks!

    20 year college next summer. Its a go.

  24. Not a huge amount I’m interested in this week. May pick up The Sensational Spider-Man point 1 and/or Gambit 1 digitally or possible a dead tree copy of the Daredevil annual depending on what all the reviews are like.
    To answer your bonus question, never been to a school reunion, never plan to. I hated almost everyone at that place every micro second I was there, the few I don’t detest I’m still in contact with. The only way I’ll ever go back is if I get really famous and feel the urge brag about it and see how worse off than me my classmates are, but really I don’t thin I’ll bother.

  25. I’ve got a really light week, Suicide Squad and Batman:) Really pumped and can’t wait to pick them up.

    BQ- Only 23 years old so no reunion for me yet, still not going to go haha:P

  26. JAMES STOKOE ON GODZILLA, PEOPLE!!!

    Also, a week with two Becky Cloonan books is a glorious thing.

    BQ ~ Man, that was a mistake…

  27. Batman, Batman and Robin, Daredevil Annual #1 and under strict instructions to grab a copy of Gambit for my gf who is still complaining years later about Gambit geting punked out by Wolverine in Wolverine X:Men Origins.

    Was going to be Suicide Squad but i’ve finally given up on it, frequently threatens to be great then just falls short imho anyway.

    Glad we dont have reunions in the UK

  28. Batman, Suicide Squad, In.Hulk , SpongeBob & Star Wars: Lost Tribe of the Sith.

    BQ; I would love to have a reunion with the folks I took the GED with lol! I wonder if any of them passed? I don’t know any of them though, it was a two day test and I never saw them before or after. My wife has not had intrest in going to H/S or college reunion but I would go with her if she wanted to.

  29. I wonder how many “Court of Owls: Epilogue”s we’ll get. I mean, is DC really going to be able to let this money-making event die? Outside of TALON of course. (And I am shocked that the cover of TALON #0 doesn’t say “From the Court of Owls!…”)

    BQ: I went to my (gulp) 20th high school reunion, and had a surprisingly good time. I liked my high school years well enough; not nearly as much as I loved college, but still a sweet time, as dysfunctional as it was. One funny thing that happened at the reunion: I found myself the sudden center of attention for every woman there who didn’t have kids and/or a husband! LOL I guess that once these female former classmates of mine realized that I was gay & childless, they loved the fact that I wasn’t showing off pictures of kids and bragging about the amazing family life I had that they didn’t. I guess I made them feel less insecure about themselves. So yeah. I spent the whole night sitting at a table with every hot girl I never wanted. 🙂

  30. Batman, punk Rock Jesus and Grifter is about it for this week.

    BQ: Hell No!
