Pull List for 4 Nov 2009

  1. Atomika #11 (of 12)
  2. Conan The Cimmerian #15
  3. Dark Avengers: Ares #1 (of 3)
  4. Deadpool Team-Up #899 *
  5. GrimJack: The Manx Cat #4 (of 6)
  6. Lobo: Highway to Hell #1 (of 2)
  7. Reborn #4 (of 5)
  8. Secret Six #15
  9. Sir Edward Grey, Witchfinder: In the Service of Angels #5 (of 5)
  10. Starr the Slayer #3 (of 4)
  11. Vampirella: The Second Coming #3 (of 4)
  12. Warlord #8 *

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 21 Oct 2009

  1. Beasts of Burden #2
  2. Dominic Fortune #3 (of 4)
  3. Cowboy Ninja Viking #1
  4. Sugarshock (one-shot)

Slow week again.  According to my retailer, however, next week looks to be a huge one, so I’ll take it.

The last two looked interesting.  CNV for the title, and Sugarshock because it’s Joss Whedon who can write well when it’s not X-Men.

  2. Deadpool #900
  3. Hellboy: The Wild Hunt #7 (of 8)
  4. The Incredible Hercules #136

* — Denotes those wavering at the edge of the Culling List.
§ — Denotes my last issue of this misbegotten series.

Nothing really of note this week.  Not sure if the entire Vampirella series is going to be $1.99 or not, but it’s a nice break from the $3–5 price tags on everything else.

Pull List for 7 Oct 2009

  1. Batman and Robin #5
  2. Captain America Theater of War: Ghosts of My Country #1 (one-shot)
  3. Criminal: The Sinners #1 (of ??)
  4. Deadpool #16
  5. GrimJack: The Manx Cat #3 (of 6)
  6. Sir Edward Grey, Witchfinder: In the Service of Angels #4 (of 5)
  7. Starr The Slayer #2 (of 4)
  8. Vengeance of the Moon Knight #2 *
  9. Warlord #7 *

* — Denotes those wavering at the edge of the Culling List.
§ — Denotes my last issue of this misbegotten series.

Yeah, I said I was dumping Warlord last month, but this is all Mike Grell, so it might be better than the first arc.  Worth risking the $3 on one issue, at least.

Moon Knight #1 had some good and bad, so I’m giving it a second look.  If this issue doesn’t really grab me, though, I’m probably not going to buy any more.

Couldn’t find the length of the new Criminal story anywhere in the book itself, so dunno how many issues that’s going to be.  Glad to see it back, though.

Starr, as a concept, is interesting. Not sure how “good” it is, but it’s different enough to check out, plus you’ve got some nice Richard Corben artwork to look at.

  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)

* — Denotes those wavering at the edge of the Culling List.
§ — Denotes my last issue of this misbegotten series.

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.
