LOBO! LOBO! LOBO! LOBO! (Can you tell I get a tad excited when any new Lobo book comes out?)

I’ve been avoiding any of the Deadpool spin-off books, but this one guest-stars Hercules and is written by Fred Van Lente, who is doing great work on that book, so at least worth the look-see.  No promises on any future issues, though, unless Van Lente is going to be writing them. If that’s the case, I may drop the main series and start picking this one up.

Apparently, Grell’s story was only a two-parter, so we’ll see if he’s back for Warlord next month or if whoever wrote the first unimpressive arc is.  If it ain’t Grell, I’m not interested.

Vampi’s still only $2. I’m worried the story ends stupidly, and they didn’t think they could sell the next series if this one cost too much.

Pull List for 23 Sep 2009

1. Conan the Cimmerian #14
2. The Incredible Hercules #135
3. Vengeance of the Moon Knight #1 *
4. Wolverine: Old Man Logan Giant-Size #1 (one-shot)

Because it was an otherwise short week, I picked up Moon Knight, which has gotten mixed reviews, but at least looks pretty, plus the Madame Xanadu: Disenchanted TPB.

Nothing else really to add.

Pull List for 19 Feb 2009

1. Batman: Streets of Gotham #3 *
2. Conan the Cimmerian #13
3. Dominic Fortune #1 (of 4)
4. Viking #3
5. Wolverine: Weapon X #4
6. X-Factor #47

Pretty standard week.  Decided to give Dominic Fortune a try since I like that old-school spy/pulp stuff, and Howard Chaykin usually does at least a competent job.

I’m not enjoying Batman: SOG as much as others, so I don’t know how much longer I’ll be getting this.  I think I’m just sick of Hush.  I didn’t mind the “R.I.P. — Heart of Hush” story, but Dini seems to be hell-bent on using him.  I’ve already decided to drop Gotham City Sirens, so he better show me something amazing in this issue, especially at $4 a pop.

Pull List for 22 Jul 2009

1. Conan the Cimmerian #12
2. Dethklok Versus The Goon (one-shot)
3. Domino Lady #1
4. Gotham City Sirens #2 *
5. The Incredible Hercules #131
6. Red Sonja #46
7. The Spirit #31
8. X-Force #17 *

§ — Denotes my last issue of this misbegotten series.

Surprisingly, the new Paul Dini Batman series aren’t doing much for me. I think after last week’s Streets of Gotham, I’m done with it. Sirens was so-so last month, but had an interesting cliffhanger, so I’m giving it a second issue.

Hopefully, it was just the pointlessness that was “Messiah War”, but those were a few long months dealing with that ultimately frustrating crossover.  If X-Force looks to be getting back on track, I’ll keep getting it, but if I’m ho-hum after this issue, I’m done with it, too.

Domino Lady hasn’t been getting good reviews, but I’m a sucker for pulp stuff, so I’m giving it a chance to see if it’s something I enjoy.

DETHKLOK!!! ‘Nuff said.

Pull List for 3 Jun 2009

1. Batman and Robin #1
2. Conan the Cimmerian #11
3. Hack/Slash #22
4. New Mutants #2
5. Secret Six #10
6. Solomon Grundy #4 (of 7)
7. The Warlord #3
8. Werewolves on the Moon: Versus Vampires #1 (of 3)

Okay, that last one was picked up on a lark.  No surprises with most everything else.

Warlord and New Mutants are going to have to show me something awesome, however, in the next month or two, because I’ve got to be a little more budget-conscious in the coming months.
