Suicide Squad #20-39 + Annual 1.
Didn't realize that I'd bought the first appearance of Oracle with #23. That's fantastic! I can't get enough of this series. Some of its political commentary is over my head a bit due to the times, but it is a very smart series.

Ultimatum
Ultamatum: Requiem
B.P.R.D.: the Black Goddess
Thor vol 2 (new series)
the Goon: Calamity of Conscience
Incredible Hercules:Secret Invasion

Picked up Anna Mercury 2 #2 today can't wait to read it!

I've been meaning to get the new Iron Man series in trade. Do people like it?

Found the following TPBs for half-price:
Uncanny X-men: Rise and Fall of the Shi'ar Empire
X-23: Innocence Lost
Teen Titans: Beast Boys and Girls
JLA/JSA: Virtue and Vice
Lucifer vol. 1: Devil in the Gateway

JLA/JSA: Virtue & Vice is good stuff. Carey's Lucifer starts off a bit slow with the first two trades, IMO, but they really take off near the end of the second volume. Promise. And that isn't to say that the first two are lame or anything.

Oh, none of it's new to me. Just working on replacing all of my singles with trades.

Just finished reading Preacher vol. 3 and Hack/Slash: First Cut

Today I picked up the following for 50% off:
Superman for All Seasons hardcover
Marvel Masterworks Uncanny X-men vol. 1 & 2 TPB
She-hulk vol. 1: Single Green Female TPB
New X-men Ultimate Collection vol. 1 TPB

Jack of Fables vol. 6. Now I'm all caught up for The Great Fables crossover trade coming out this week.

Suicide Squad #40-66 (er...67 if you count Blacket Night. )
Such a fantastic frickin' series. I highly recommend finding and reading the entire original run of Ostrander's and Kim Yale's (RIP).

I just picked up these at TFAW.com's "nick & dent" section:

Cable/Deadpool vol 7
Criminal vol. 1
Ms Marvel vol 5
Don Bluth's Art of Storyboarding


and these off of ebay:
Lupin III vol. 1-6

So far all I've read is Criminal and it was great! Can't wait to read more volumes of this series!

That sounds very cool.

This week I picked up Demo and Asterios Polyp. Demo didn't knock my socks off, but I liked it well enough to check it out when the current series goes to trade. I'm still working on Asterios Polyp.

I've read through the first 10-15 pages and so far it's pretty interesting. I'm hoping it'll help me when doing sequentials. Plus the pictures are really awesome

Just finished Asterios Polyp; I really enjoyed it.

Today I picked up the Riot at Xaviers trade from Morrison's run on New X-Men. I've read parts of this before, but never all of it collected.
