I look forward to upcoming Batman series with Morrison.

Plus how can you not love the All Star Superman series?!?

What else are you reading these days???  


-Local by Brian Wood
-Batman Year 100 by Paul Pope (limited series)
-American Virgin by Seagle and Cloonan
-East Coast Rising by Cloonan
-Next Wave by Ellis & Immonen
-Goon by Powell
-Walking Dead by Kirkman and Adlard

I'm gonna pick up Five Fist of Science by Fraction and Sanders. I'll read the Punsiher book by Fraction that I mentioned a month or so back.

I'll read Busiek and Pacheco's Superman book that comes out the same month as the stuff in this post. I'll also read the new JLA once it starts.

I'm probably gonna pick up the first Loveless trade by Azarello and Frusin.

That's off the top of my head.  


I'm reading Batman Year 100, All Star Superman, and all the silly DC Infinite Crisis and OYL nonsense. They hooked me and are slowing depleting my bank account each week. Damn their marketing department!!!  


I've been checking out some Infinite Crisis and OYL stuff based on what catches my eye. For some reason I'm interested in checking out 52, the weekly series. Mostly for Morrison's contribution.  


Understandable. Don't get any of the OYL stuff. I'll bring over what I have during MWK this year. After we talk about all that stuff, we'll do our comic book re-enactment. I decided that I'll be Black Lightning rather than Apache Chief.  


Oooh, nice. And BP can be El Dorado.  


MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!!  


WE WON!!!  


Not that anyone asked, but in a humble attempt to prove my nerd worthiness, I've been reading:

Local, DMZ, Batman Y100, Loveless, Jonah Hex, American Virgin, Testament, Exterminators, East Coast Rising, Supermarket, Walking Dead  


I would say that I've been reading Supermarket, but I still haven't got the second issue.  


Today I bought Justice 5. Slow day for me. I think I need to branch out and read what you guys read.  


Today I picked up Next Wave. That's all. It was a sloooow week.
