its very good, i enjoyed his whole run til that 'here comes tomorrow' trash. tha x-men are my favs, but that 4 issue run or 3.5 issues were tha only x-men issues i couldnt finish. ive rarely left comics unfinished, but that story was awful.

I love "Riot at Xavier's."

just finished readin 'maximum carnage', picked up all tha issues last year, found most of them from one dealer at CCC. great read, i loved carnage before i even read it, readin this did it even more lol. plus got to read about some other characters i hadnt had much exposure to.

I have returned home from a comic con and I picked up a good amount of stuff. 80 comics for $32.

I had never read any of their stuff before, but Broken Trinity made me dig the Darkness, so i picked up this beast. Great value too, 48 issues of Darknesssy goodness for $60. Cant wait to dig into this tonight.

tha books wit stars i grabbed just for tha covers, i might put them on my wall, or in a binder or somethin, havnt decided yet

Dr. Midnite #1-3. Not too great, but it was a nice setup for Pieter Cross.

JSA: Secret Files #1 & 2. Expensive for something that doesn't give that much. Short original stories that were okay, but then the profiles that felt unnecessary.

JSA: All-Stars #1-8. Really enjoyed each issue taking on a different character and the original's mantle as a backstory.

JSA: Our Worlds At War. I vaguely know about this event, but this one-shot holds up pretty well on its own.

JSA: Strange Adventures #1-6. Possibly the best, non-Elseworlds JSA mini I've read. Hope Lord Dynamo returns. He'd fit in the current All-Star title, me thinks.

Hellboy: the Wild Hunt
Star Wars Legacy: Tatooine
She-Hulk: Jaded
the Wonderful Wizard of Oz (marvel)
Aliens vs Predator omnibus vol 2
Star Wars omnibus Menace revealed
Buffy the Vampire Slayer Retreat

^ Menace Revealed seems really cool. I keep wanting to really jump on to Dark Horse's Star Wars stuff, but money and time.

Totally working on collecting all She-Hulk series/titles.

haven't read it yet but I'll let you know how it is once I do. I went mainly with Dark Horse this shopping trip. Was mainly looking for the Hellboy: Wild Hunt trade. Read it and went wow with something of the story revelations.

decided to pick up 'the walking dead compendium one', its like $60 but i was plannin on waitin for another good borders rewards coupon, and i got a 40%, so this was tha best time to grab it

Twitter reviews of the books I bought this week
Cap 604: The main part of the book is great, but the Nomad backup makes me want to punch babies.

Pet Avengers 1: I love this book. It's everybody friendly and is pretty funny. The art is just beautiful. Really recommend it.

Deadpool 21: Not bad, but the Hit Monkey concept just doesn't thrill me. Sick of Deadpool trying to be a hero.

Haunt 6: I liked this a lot. This is a perfect jumping on point for new readers.

ASM 626: Good stand alone issue that tied up some loose ends in side stories. Looking forward to the new Scorpion.

Breaking into Comics the Marvel Way 2: Pretty thick. If anything just pick this up because it's a pretty good value for $4.

The Initiative 34: This book has been kicking ass for awhile but it has been made better because Siege. Like how it fills Siege's plot holes

New Avengers 63: Cliffhanger ending. Like the Initiative it fills in the story holes from Siege.

Nemesis 1: I'm glad that I bought this. It was better than I expected it to be. Solid story and art.

Green Lantern 52: I don't think I can say much without spoiling stuff. Awesome, just an awesome book.

Picked up some trades today:

The Losers vol 1
Green Lantern: Sinestro Corps War vol.1
Agents of Atlas Premier HC
The Spirit vol.2 (Darwyn Cooke)

can't wait to start reading!
