Pull List for 16 Dec 2009

1. Anywhere 101 #1 ?
2. Batman #694
3. Lady Action Special (one-shot)
4. Reborn #5 (of 6)
5. Vengeance of the Moon Knight #4 *
6. X-Factor #200

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

Still kind of unsure about Moon Knight. It was an otherwise short week, so I decided to go ahead and get it.

Anywhere 101 says it’s the “premier issue”, so I’m assuming it’s either #1 or some kind of prequel.  Either way, it was only a buck and looked somewhat interesting.

Anyone else notice Reborn went from being a five-issue limited series to six?  See, if writers would get the script done beforehand, this sort of thing wouldn’t happen.

Pull List for 9 Dec 2009

1. The Astounding Wolf-Man #20
2. Deadpool #18
3. Pilot Season: Murderer #1 (one-shot)
4. Secret Six #16
5. The Unwritten #8

Nothing really to say this week.  The various Pilot Season one-shots are hit and miss, and I usually at least try a few of the more interesting-looking ones out.

Pull List for 3 Dec 2009

1. Atomika 2009 Sketchbook (one-shot)
2. Captain America Theater of War: Prisoners of Duty #1 (one-shot)
3. Empowered Special December 2009 (one-shot)
4. GrimJack: The Manx Cat #5 (of 6)
5. Hack/Slash #28
6. Lobo: Highway to Hell #2 (of 2)
7. The Marvels Project #4 (of 8)
8. Spin Angels #4 (of ??)
9. Starr the Slayer #4 (of 4)
10. Thor #604
11. Warlord #9

Is it just me, or are companies producing a lot of one-shots and limited series right now?  Not that I’m necessarily complaining, mind you, since I’d rather they have a plan for a series (even if it’s a short one) than just meander for ten issues trying to figure out where they’re going with the story.

Spin Angels is kind of a weird one.  The first two issues had an “of 3″ next to the issue number, #3 had no such indicator, and now #4 is out.  It’s pretty good, but it’s going to be tough to maintain an ongoing series at $5.99 an issue.

Mike Grell is continuing on Warlord, so it looks like I’ll be getting it for the time being.  I just finished up Showcase Presents: Warlord Vol. 1 and really enjoyed it.  Mike Grell just writes a fun tale, no matter how potentially cliché it is.  It’s too bad about the first six issues being boring as hell, though.

As much as I like Lobo, Highway to Hell #1 was kind of so-so.  I hope it picks up in the second and final issue.

The new creative team takes over on Thor this month as well. pleaseletitbegood, pleaseletitbegood…

4. Detective Comics #859
5. Dr. Horrible #1 (one-shot)
6. Domino Lady #3 *
7. The Incredible Hercules #138
8. Northlanders #22
9. Queen Sonja #2
10. Thor: Giant-Size Finale #1 (one-shot)
11. Ultimate Avengers #4
12. Wonder Woman #38

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

Still unsure about continuing Domino Lady, and I’m not real happy about Herc going up to $3.99.  Queen Sonja was so-so, and I’m giving it another issue or two before I decide to cut it or not.  Otherwise, pretty standard stuff for me.

2. Cowboy Ninja Viking #2 (of 4)
3. Dominic Fortune #4 (of 4)

Kind of an odd week of releases.  Nothing really to say.
