Monthly comics order

[yendi]

For those who care about such things, this was our Westfield order from their December catalog, annotated, of course.



Aquaman 3

After reading the first issue, I'm not certain I'll enjoy this, but I'll give Veitch a few issues.

Birds of Prey 52
Dexter's Laboratory 34
Forever Maelstrom 4
H-E-R-O 1

I've got a soft spot for the Dial H for Hero concept, as it was one of the reprints I read in Adventure Digest when I was a kid (along with the LSH, of course). And I really liked Will Pfeiffer's writing on Finals.

Powerpuff Girls 35

Supergirl 79
Young Justice 54
Codename: Knockout 21

Three titles, all about to end. All of them amongst the best ones around.

Fables 10
Sandman Presents: Bast 2

Shade, Changing Man: American Scream

Everyone should be picking up the Shade tpbs. This was an amazing series.

Vertigo X Preview
War Story: Archangel

Astro City: Local Heroes 1

Hooray! Astro City is back! It's about damned time, too! Not that the time Busiek's been spending on The Power Crapany has been wasted or anything. Really.

Global Frequency 5
Amazing Spider-Man 50

Captain Marvel 6

All signs point to this clearly winning the "U-Decide" contest. But there are rumors swirling that Joe Q still plans to fire PAD from the book. Which would stink. Issue 2 of this series has the best use of the Punisher I've seen in ages. Possibly ever.

Exiles 22
Exiles Vol. 3: Out of Time (tpb)
Fantastic Four 66
Incredible Hulk 50
Mekanix 5


Peter Parker, Spider-Man 53

Another month without Paul Jenkins. I will probably regret ordering this one.

Ultimate Spider-Man 36
X-Statix 8
Crossovers 2
Grendel: God & the Devil 1


Star Wars: A Valentine Story

Judd Winick and Paul Chadwick doing Star Wars -- of course I'm there!

Grrl Scouts: Work Sucks 1

Jack Staff 1

I've heard really good things about this one.

Powers 29
Rex Mundi 2


morenasangre? Are you picking up these two? I know you said you were thinking about Powers, but Rex Mundi's preview issue struck me as something you'd really enjoy. estimatdprophet and any Tim Powers fans would probably enjoy it as well.

Shadows 1

Has potential.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer / Angel: Reunion
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Lovers' Walk

Finishing our Chyna Clugston-Major collection.

Strangers in Paradise Vol. III 57
My Own Little Empire (gn)
True Story, Swear to God Vol. 1 (tpb)
Charm School 7
Dork Tower 23
Jane's World 2
Thieves & Kings 41
Blue Monday: Nobody's Fool
Cheat (gn)
Courtney Crumrin & the Coven of Mystics 3
Shanda the Panda 37


Kim Possible Cinemanga Vol. 1 (tpb)
Kodocha Vol. 6: Sana's Stage (tpb)
Lizzie McGuire Cinemanga Vol. 1 (tpb)


The Kim and Lizzie books are for Elayna, of course. Dunno how worthwhile they'll be (the info on them is minimal).

Wizard (Thundercats / BOTP cover) 138
Daredevil Set (#43 & 44)

Woah..when did Sana-chan get her own comic? I totally missed that. Apparently my comic shop isn't carrying. *grump*

[yendi]

Kodocha is purely a shadesong thing, so you'll have to ask her about this. I tried one issue ('cuz Sarah Dyer rocks), but couldn't even finish it.

I have the anime. At least the first 12 episodes or so. I think it's great. It's something you have to watch more than one episode (or, I guess, read more than one comic) to really get.

[yendi]

All I remember is, the first issue had one of those anime no-nos for me -- some scene that was overly trite or annoying, and that brought back horrible A-Ko flashbacks. I don't remember the details.
