Pretty good week for me. I’m excited for a few things.
Oddly, I’ve actually liked AvX Consequences, which is a huge shock to me. New Invincible should be great, new Flash, and the latest issue of LDB!

Small week for me. Batman Inc, Gi Joe: Cobra, and Spawn
BQ: 34
Just one book this week – Invincible
I was thinking about getting Superman, but I think watching all ten seasons of Smallville (in about five months) has ruined the New 52 Superman for me. I just love the Smallville Clark/Blur/Superman better.
BQ: I am 18 as of this month. Going to spend some of my birthday money by preordering the Fear Agent Library Vol 1 😀
BQ: 35 going on 57 or turning 11, depending on the day.
BQ: 30. I will be testing out Wolverine Max to see if it should make my monthly pull list.
3 images books with Invincible, Lil’ Depressed Boy, and Prophet! Also Bat Inc, Flash, Secret Avengers and the finally issue of Brubakers Captain America run.
BQ: Thursday I’ll be 23.
HAPPY ALMOST BIRTHDAY
I’m very interested in Punisher War Zone and Wolverine MAX and will be giving Superman 13 a chance… the premise intrigues me.
There should probably be an edit option in the comments section.
BQ: 27
A light week for me too.
Captain America and Black Widow- Cap+Pulpy Sci-fi+Francavilla= a smile on my face
I, Vampire- Back to the good stuff after zero issue back-story
JLD- Lemire has done well with the magical cast
Multiple Warheads- I’ve only read the summary, yet I know this will be fantastic
Unwritten- I’m always excited when this book comes out, one of the best comics has to offer.
BQ: 31 in two weeks.
Might check out A babies vs X. Babies (i’m a sucker for cute superhero babies), but not much else right now; currently hoping to save up for some trades in the wishlist.
BQ: 16.
Iron man, spider-man, the flash and ff for me. DroppedvFirestorm.mit went from being my favorite new 52 book to one that was directionless and kind of a mess. Makes me sad.
BQ: 33
Batman Inc., Flash, and JLD from DC
Many of the final issues from Marvel, especially Iron Man and JiM
And Revival and Invincible are my indie books for the week.

Really bummed that Debris is ending and I’ll be dropping Journey into Mystery after this issue since I don’t care for the upcoming Sif arc.
BQ: 25.
Sooooo much Brandon Graham!! I’m also going to give ASM a try because of that amazing cover.

Journey Into Mystery
Justice League Dark
Batman Incorporated
BQ: 26

BQ: 20
Probably looking forward to Spike the most (I’m as surprised as anybody). It’s been kind of a sleeper hit with me, even though I’m totally Vampired out on just about every level. Looking to see if Prophet can continue to confuse and intrigue me. The art in the last issue was one of the craziest things I’ve seen in comics. I’ll be dropping Wolverine, Spiderman and all of the Avengers books in the coming weeks. It’s been a real struggle to get through those lately but, I bought subscriptions and I’m still riding them out.

• Cap America and Black Widow — only for a hard copy of Francavilla’s art
Batman Inc
36 on Thursday
HAPPY ALMOST BIRTHDAY!!
Light week for me, only 2 titles:

Sigh! Just Cap and Avengers for me although someone here suggested I pick up Wolvie and the X-Men as Jason Aaron isn’t near as depressing on that series as he normally is, so I might pick up the first trade.
I really want to pick up more but none of the stuff DC and Marvel are doing these days has me excited right now.
BQ:43
Light week, but a good week:
Batman Inc, FF, Fables, Unwritten, Star Trek TNG/Doctor Who.
BQ: 25
I may be an uber-nerd, but I couldn’t help doing a quick analysis of these numbers. We’re always hearing about how comics readership is aging, kids don’t read comics, etc. etc. Now I’ll admit that the 60 responses on this thread is hardly a statistically representative sample of comics readership, but here’s what I found:
The average age on this thread is 30 years old exactly.
13% of us are under 20, 40% in their 20’s, 34% in their 30’s, and 13% over 40.
In case anybody missed the significance: For every commenter on this thread who is over 40, there is a commenter who is under 20.
I think that’s a pretty healthy spread, no?
Punisher:War Zone, Red Lanterns, Batman Inc
BQ: 31
I’m 33. I think it’s just sad that there are hardly any kids buying comics these days. I ask you: What about the children?! What about the future?!!!???!!!
Batman Inc, Ghost, Punisher War Zone and Spawn #224 if not just for the DK Returns #2 mock up cover. Probably give Wolverine Max a try if its not sold out cause I like his stories uncensored, being in Japan is a bonus.
BQ: 33
The Shadow #6
Ghost #1
Dark Horse Presents #17
Artifacts #22
and Spawn #224, love the DK Returns tribute cover but I’m dropping it after this ish. 3 ishs of torturous investigations going nowhere and Spawn isn’t a hellspawn anymore but a secret government science project? Really?
oh forgot
BQ: How don’t care how old I get, I’m never going to grow up—50
Batman, Inc. #4
Alter Ego # 113
DHP #17
BQ: 61 & not feeling it at all.
