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 their pull lists out here: Conor, Ron, and Josh.
And what about the rest of the staff? What are they buying? Check out their pull lists: Dave, Jim, Paul, Mike, Chris, Tom, Molly, Ryan, Josh, Ben, Ali, Chris and Matt.
This week Josh has the Pick of the Week!
Bonus Question: Are you going to New York Comic Con this weekend? If not, what will you be doing?
It says a lot that DC now has me pulling 5-6 books a week from them thanks to the re-launch. Green Lantern, Demon Knights, Batgirl, Superboy, and Batwoman are going to knock my socks off for sure.
BQ: Not only I’m going to NYCC, but I’m going my first year with a press pass! Can’t wait to check the panels, do interviews, and hit a couple of after-parties, particularly Rock Comic Con.
Crazy as this sounds, being a new DC reader and all, I’m most excited for two Bat ladies, Batgirl #2 and Batwoman #2. I enjoyed the first issues so much. Batman and Robin is on my hot seat for possible dropping.
Black Metal! \m/
BQ: I’ll be there all four days working at the Bill Cole Enterprises booth.
On my pull list: Batwoman, Demon Knights & Frankenstein. i’ll likely get Batgirl #2 as well, and i’ll take a glance at the Vertigo Anthology too.
Batowman, My Greatest Adventure (Weird Worlds was so much fun!), and Shade are the top books on my list. Batman and Robin are on the chopping block this week.
Not going to NYCC…. Don’t know what I’ll be doing, though – it’s only Monday!
Josh as the PotW the same week Shade comes out? That’s just serendipity.
*has
I’ll be there. Fri Sat and Sunday. Very much looking forward to it
So did I miss something? Where the heck is Justice League #2? Are they behind schedule already?
It’s a third week book. (That’s why only 12 books came out in the third week.) They released the first issue ahead of schedule to kick off the relaunch.
Thanks, Conor. Now I know…and knowing is…well, you know the rest.
Big week for me – seven books (eight if you count Warehouse 13 #2 for my kid). I always look forward to Northlanders and The Unwritten, but Demon Knights #2 looks really fun too.
BQ: NYC is a long way away from Indiana. Catch you guys at C2E2?
BQ: I am going to have to skip NYCC this week. I’ll be celebrating my daughter’s 7th birthday instead, but I fully plan to attend C2E2 this spring.
For me, the second week of the relaunch was the one with the most sucessful titles, so this week I’m excited to see if Batwoman, Demon Knights & Frankenstein keep up their excellence, as well as Ressurection Man and Grifter building on their promising beginnings. Will be keeping up with Batman and Robin as well.
I am super excited about the Shade mini, though part of me says wait for the collected edition. This, more rational part of myself also reminds me that waiting would give me time to finally finish off the Starman Omnibuses . . .
Unwritten is always a highlight of my comics reading, and I have been enjoying the current story arc very much — can’t wait to see how it ends.
Hmmm, looks like another all DC week. Oh wait, forgot about FF and New Avengers — that probably says something right there . . .
BQ: was originally going to skip the convention this year (went the last three), but I was looking at the guest list this weekend, and, well . . . if I can still get a Saturday ticket, i’ll be there. If not, it’ll still be the last weekend of the Film Festival (I really wish the schedules for these things wouldn’t overlap).
Very light week. I mean, ‘pre-DC relaunch’ type of light. Only 3 books….I might see if my LCS has extra copies of OMAC or Penguin: Pride and Prejudice and see how they are.
Batman and Robin
FF
SHIELD
BQ: I’ll be there on Friday! My car just broke down an hour ago but I’ll still be able to come! I’ll cya there bright and early.
Ilove the new FF stuff until they brought the Inhumans into it.
AMERICAN VAMPIRE: SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST #5 (OF 5)
BALTIMORE CURSE BELLS #3
DEMON KNIGHTS #2
FF #10
FRANKENSTEIN, AGENT OF S.H.A.D.E. #2
JOE HILL THE CAPE #2 (OF 4)
NEW AVENGERS #17
PIGS #2
THE PUNISHER #4
No cash to go from Atlanta to New York. Working next weekend because that’s all I ever do ever, but I might try to squeeze in some time to go to Repticon and see all kinds of reptiles I no can has.
A (relatively) light week! Only 6 titles: ASM, Batgirl, Batwoman, Demon Knights, FF, SHIELD, and Who Is Jake Ellis.
BQ: I will not be at NYCCC. I will be at a good friend’s bachelor party, which is basically the same thing as NYCCC.
The previous BQ comment was firmly with tongue in cheek.
i dunno. I still find that extremely offensive on a very personal level
Survival of the Fittest and Ultimate Spidey are probably top of the list, although the Batbooks, Shalvey’s Northlanders and a new Punisher Max HC are also a pretty good bunch of reasons to get me to the store.
BQ: You have no idea how much I wish I was, but no, I will be working..
I won’t be able to make it in until Sunday. Bummed I’ll be missing the iFanboy bash!
Thanks Marvel for putting out every goddamn book ever this week. It feels weird buying 2 Punisher books on the same day.
Apparently the secret six will make an appearance in Tiny Titans this week.
BQ: Finding a bigger shelf that will support the Identity Crisis Absolute I forgot I ordered.
4 books for me this week, Amazing Spider-Man, FF, Batman and Robin and Mr. Terrific. dropped New Avengers. Mr. Terrific will most likely be my first New2 casualty, but I’m going to read at least the first arc.
BQ: No, I am too poor for that kind of thing. I will be home, reading comics and playing with my daughter.
American Vampire, The Punisher, and The Shade as well as last week’s books…okay book, Avengers 1959.
BQ: While I will be enjoying October/Halloween style action, I’m seriously jealous of those going to NYCC, especially the iFanboy party.
My venture into DC continues. I am very excited Suicide Squad, Batwoman, Superboy and Demon Knights and I am going to buy but am on the fence for Batgirl and Green Lantern. 6 Books not bad.
As for the weekend, I will not make it to the NYCC but I will be raising a stein at Oktoberfest in Kitchener Ontario.
I’ll be there on Sunday! Looking forward to the Kirkman spotlight panel, X-Men regenesis panel, and meeting my man-crush Claudio Sanchez at the BOOM! booth
I’m really looking forward to Superboy and Uncanny X-force this week.
BQ: Not going.
100 Bullets HC vol 1
Wolverine by Jason Aaron Omnibus
BQ. No NYCC for me. I have a wedding in Kentucky on Saturday and tickets for the Bengals Colts game on Sunday!
Batwoman should be good this week.
BQ: Unfortunately, I won’t be going to NYCC, but I’ll be home watching college football.
Batwoman.
