you're going to reap just what you SHIP: Nov. 26, 2008

Just in time for Thanksgiving: http://www.diamondcomics.com/shipping/newreleases.txt

For me:

BATMAN #681: who is the Black Glove? It's... the SADFACE!
INCREDIBLE HERCULES #123: last issue had the single best recap page I've EVER seen
GLAMOURPUSS #4: continues to be the weirdest comic in the world

who is the Black Glove?

I am.

BATMAN #681
THOR: MAN OF WAR
And that's it!

Oh, and TEZUKA'S BLACK JACK VOL.2 when I free up some dosh.

Batrip, Unknown Soldier, Cap, DD

BATMAN #681 RIP NOTE PRICECECECECECECE
DMZ #36
JACK OF FABLES #28
PUSH #2 - #1 was pretty cool.
TRANSHUMAN #4 - Admission; Hickman appeal is wearing off :(
HULK #8 - She-Hulk + the Girl Troope.
INCREDIBLE HERCULES #123
RUNAWAYS 3 #4 - My mission to read all Terry Moore books. (Who else thinks he should only be writing books that he himself draws?)
WOLVERINE FIRST CLASS #9 - AKA: KITTY PRYDE FIRST CLASS

I do love re-reading a big chunk of American Elfs when the books come out but might wait for a Top Shelf mail-order sale this time
The existence of a THIRTY DOLLAR ZOMBIE VARIANT ($A) of Glamourpuss #4 makes me want to stop buying all Dave Sim comics forever! Is this what it feels like to be everyone else?
Two years to stick all those first-print Sloth guts into a new cover! Surely the cost of warehousing over all this time would have added up to the cost of actually printing a paperback edition?
Totally psyched for Rocky vol 2! If only a shop actually gets it in...

Batman RIP, Blue Beetle RIP, and Captain America RIP - I don't think I'll be reading any of these in three months.

Big week for me:

Buffy, Batman, Superman, JSA special, Captain America, Daredevil, SI: X-Men, Glamourpuss, and the issue of Spider-Man from last week cos I didn't realize til yesterday that it was by Mark Waid and Marcos Martin.

Batman RIP

It's OK, I dropped a bunch of cash on .50 cent issues this past weekend, so I am not looking for much.

The existence of a THIRTY DOLLAR ZOMBIE VARIANT ($A) of Glamourpuss #4 makes me want to stop buying all Dave Sim comics forever! Is this what it feels like to be everyone else?

I have been amazed by how enjoyable I find Glamourpuss, though not so enjoyable I want to spend 30 big ones on an issue.

Actually, I enjoyed that issue of Spider-Man so much that I'm gonna buy this one too, just to see how the cliffhangers resolve.

Nice, I'll pick that up. I've been missing some classic cornpone Waid storytelling lately. That guy Marcos Martin is terrific, too.

But apart from that, just RIP.

How come I'm the last to find out that Legion of Superheroes is being canceled? First I find out in like, May, that Jim Shooter is back, and I hustle around to get all the issues since his return (#37-) and then two days ago I google around and read about how he's had a falling out with DC and it's all over. How am I ever going to be a full-fledged Legion freak when stuff like this happens...

OH WOW!:

If Jog's right about the release of Huizenga's new series (FIGHT OR RUN, which I read some of in an anthology sometime back (um, BLOOD ORANGES (???)), I gettin' that too.

Yeah, FIGHT OR RUN is totally great.

Chelvis, LEGION is only being kinda-sorta cancelled; it's returning as ADVENTURE COMICS next year, supposedly with some kind of Geoff Johns involvement.

Has the Legion ever not been published in one form or another for more than a couple of months at a time (I remember a pause between the Levitz and the Bierbaum series)?

no, but some of those forms have been pretty dire!

who cares? it's a saturn girl!

The third Legion Showcase is out April 7th, per Amazong.

About up to what year will the 3rd Legion Showcase cover? Are they up to the Shooter issues yet?

The Shooter stuff starts in vol. 2, actually! That volume goes up through Adventure #348, so I imagine vol. 3 will polish off most of the Adventure Comics era.
