I think I'll get on those trades for 52. In fact, since my investment in DC is pretty low right now, I wonder if I shouldn't just switch to trades only for them anyway.
Is 52 really all that worth it other than a few sweet moments?
I dunno, some people really, really like it, but I think that's mostly people that decided before it started that they'd really really like it. People who are already huge fans of the characters it portrays. So if you think you'd like it, then you probably will, but if you're on the fence about it, well, it may not be for you.
Wolf-man was alright, nothing spectacular, just enough(along with Kirkman's track record) to make me try the first real issue when it comes out.
My shop now has a cool one doller sale on all back issues, if only my back account wasn't at 2.95 at the moment. Still had to get some Savage Dragon issues with Madman.
Haven't read all my free comics yet, but this year wasn't too damn shabby.
Did anyone get the Dark Horse book? Man, Umbrella Academy, Pantheon City, and Zerokiller all look really interesting. I'm definitely gonna check out Umbrella Academy when it starts in August.
It's quite funny reading a lot of the bloggers at the moment, as many have a post along the lines of 'I really wanted to hate on this because it's by the MCR guy, but, er, it's quite good so I can't'.

I don't know shit about My Chemical Romance, so I can't hate on the dude. Either way, that Umbrella Academy story was pretty cool. The Rumor has such a cool power. Also, the Murder Magician on the talk show was just fun to read.
So guys, apparently Free Comic Book Day went pretty well. I have to say, two of the three stores I went to on Saturday were more crowded than I'd ever seen, and, to be honest, neither of the stores did all that great at advertising the event. Hopefully they'll step it up next year and top this year's FCBD.
Well I for one have nothing but love for Forbidden Planet's Dublin branch. I bought three comics (New Avengers and two issues of Runaways - missed last months) spent about €12 and got a pile of free comics, a Spider-Man 3 poster and, my personal favourite, a little batman heroclix figure
Swing Shift was great fun. I was happy enough to get a new story, but getting one that made me laugh out loud was even better. I loved the way the bobble heads flew everywhere when the car drove off the pier.
The Jackpot thing was confusing, but I have to give Slott kudos for fooling me into thinking the girl with flaming red hair and green eyes who looked exactly like MJ couldn't be MJ on account of the costume and teeny mask. Lois Lane suddenly seems a little less dense. Also, I realised during the week that her super-hero name was a reference to that very first line of hers - "Face it tiger, you hit the jackpot!" Still, confusing, but I imagine it was something for the current fans to mull over and speculate.
I liked The Astounding Wolf-Man. I'm not even sure why, but I liked it. I think I'll buy the second issue if I can afford to.
Rumour's power *is* a lot of fun, and could make for some interesting stories, but Umberella Academy didn't really grab me so I doubt I'll pick it up again.
Did anyone else get that Hack/Slash preview with the Family Guy comic? Man, that was the wrong one to read during my lunch hour.

Damn, I missed that Family Guy comic, but I think my wife grabbed a copy for her niece. Hack Slash sounds like a cool thing to read
Not really FCBD related, but did anyone get the Madame Mirage preview today? The art on that looks fucking awesome.

That's about it.
I'm trying to get away from buying singles. Too expensive.
Nah, I needs my monthly Green Lantern fix.

Any idea when these will be released? I barely know anything about the series, but it sounds quite cool and I'd like to get into it.
because fuck that
