I'm about 10 issues away from the complete run, myself. It's a great book!

I've actually just started reading the post-Jeph Loeb issues. I have to agree that its a great book. Maybe fun is the right word.

Marvel:
Abominations #1-3 (Mini that takes place after Hulk: Future Imperfect.)
Hulk: Raging Thunder (Introduces She-Hulk, Lyta.)
All New Savage She-Hulk #1-4 (I was intrigued and thought I'd give it a try for the upcoming Hulk mini-event.)
X-Men: Die by the Sword #1-5 (Need it for Exiles completion.)

DC:
Batman #684 & 685 (To coincide with the Detective Comics I bought.)
Detective Comics #821-836, 841-845, 851-856 (Dini's run with the exception Resurrection of Ra's, skipping RIP because of trades, and catching up for Rucka/Batwoman/Renee.)
Batman: Battle for the Cowl #1-3, Arkham, Commissioner Gordon, Man-Bat, The Network, and Underground
The Weird #1-4
Hardcore Station #1-6
Adam Strange (1st series)#1-3 & (2nd series) #1-8
Bob the Galactic Bum #1-4
Mystery in Space (2nd series) #1-8 (Captain Comet is one my top 10 DC character right now. And Starlin equals win.)
Superman/Supergirl: Maelstrom #1-5 (Cheap, a dollar an ish, and someone told me it was really good.)
Scare Tactics #1-12 (I've heard mixed, but this is right up my alley. Thought I'd try it. Under a dollar an issue.)

It's pretty funny. Not to unlike most Deapool books. If you're a fan you should pick up but its nothing to really go out of your way for.

All New Savage She-Hulk is great reading, sirrah! The fact it builds on Van Lente's A.R.M.O.R. group from Marvel Zombies 3 makes it extra fun. I hope Loeb doesn't ruin her.

^ I think she's going to be in Pak's Incredible Hulk and Son of Hulk mostly.

Also, man, you guys loaded up.

I GOT IT TODAY!!! I'm so excited. Scare Tactics #7 wasn't available. That pisses me off. They shouldn't had it available. Grrr...ah well, I'm pumped for this. I got all of Dini's run on Detective Comics.

Well I finally made time to hit the LCS with my son Saturday. Got a few issues for myself and several for my son (he's a Spider-man fanatic so if it had Spidey on it we bought it) Managed to pick up Wisdom issues #2,3, and 4 so now I'm looking for #1,5, and 6. I got the Astonishing X-men sketchbook and Moon Knight Saga freebies they had. Yeah...Freebies rock! Then I got
Jokers Asylum: Scarecrow #1 and Jokers Asylum: Two-face #1. Picked up a few Image comics, Darker Image #1, Meltdown #2,and Death Dealer #5. Picked up Witchblade #100 just because it was there and cheap and finally I picked up Midknight #1 cuz I thought the artwork was pretty smooth. We'll be going back the weekend after next to rifle through some more boxes. Gonna start making this a bi-weekly trip if not a weekly trip from now on. I'd forgotten how much fun I have with my son in our LCS.

Grabbed Superman/Batman #34 yesterday, making it a complete run from 1-41, and only 5 issues remaining from making a complete run of every issue. I also grabbed Justice 1-12 yesterday, too. And my wife didn't yell at me!!!

I didn't do this in a correct order cause I was just listing them as I went through the stack. I bought all these recently for 40 bucks. Which I still have to pay half of it.

I bought these recently. Lady Pendragon 1, something that I have no idea what it says, except for the word Laser and its from Eclipse, Shi and DareDevil 1 Banzai Edition, Witchblade: Family Ties part 1 issue 18, Witchblade Family ties part 4, issue 19, Witchblade issue 27, Evangeline issues 7, 8, and 9, Witchblade 22, 23 and 24, Shi/DareDevil 1, DareDevil/Shi None are so Blind, Witchblade 20 and 21, Withcblade 30, Lady Pendragon 3.

Joker's Asylum stuff is great. Find the others if you can. Oddly, not that it is bad, The Joker's issue of out of the one-shot miniseries was the weakest, I thought. Penguin's was the best, Poison Ivy and Scarecrow tie, and then Two-Face and then Joker.

Anyways, you know with Darker Image #1 that you have the first appearance of Julie Winters and The Maxx, right? So that's cool.

My cousin just got me a very elusive back issue that has been missing from my collection for quite awhile. Green Lantern Corps #201:

First appearance of Kilowog.

I'm now 2 issues away from the complete run of Supes/Bats... Very excited to be finally catching up to the current storylines. I'd have to say, this is offically my favourite current on-going series, tied only with Deadpool.

Nice. I've missed out but it's cool to have a complete collection of something. I always feel accomplished when I do that.

It's true! Beyond the Supes/Bats, I've also got the complete run of Astonishing X-Men, Trinity, 52, and Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.

Just grabbed JLA 0-6 (from the new series) and GL #1 (also new series). I also needed to pick up a bunch of deviders to accomidate the new titles in the boxes. Its getting a little silly!

Batman #686 (Got lucky with this one. Didn't even pay $4 for near-mint.)
Detective Comics #840 (To go with my Resurrection of Ra's Al Ghul trade.)
Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham #1-3 (Do you know how long I've wanted this Elseworlds?!)
Manhunter (3rd Series) #1-38 (Took some of your guys' advice, specifically Rollo's, and finally get to read Kate's original story.)
Flash (2nd Series) #1-12 + Annual #1 (Thought I'd start up completing Wally's run again.)
Monolith #1-12 (Combo between word-of-mouth and Power Girl's new title.)
Couldn't get Terra's 4 issue mini complete, so I said no thanks to that. Wish it was, though. Would've went well with this. I'll get it later.
The Light Brigade #1-4 (Obscure series by Tomasi. Buck an ish, so I thought I'd give it a try.)

For my brother's Christmas:
Green Lantern: Willworld HC/1st Printing. (Mother-frickin' thing was expensive for a gn so light with the pages.)
Lex Luthor: Man of Steel #1-5 (My brother and I liked Joker by Azzarello, so I thought he'd dig this. Not a Superman fan, like most of you know, but I like Luthor. Might read this myself before Christmas. Kind of shoddy? Eh, no one'll know. But you. )

^ Dude I do the same thing when I get my cousin something lol

^ Heh! Glad I'm not alone.

Unfortunately, I usually already own anything I buy for people.

But then again, generally people I buy comics for want to my stamp of approval on things.
