I picked up Essential: The Incredible Hulk vol 2 at a yardsale for 50 cents

Picked up The Walking Dead Volume 3. I felt like a dumbass I was finishing up volume 2 and got to the last page looked over and noticed that Simon had written the afterforward in it.

Just finished reading The Walking Dead volume 3. I find Rick Grime's wife Lori uber annoying.

I love Ennis and I have some Ellis's stuff on my amazon list. I actually follow Ellis on twitter . Constantine seemed like it could be fun I liked a lot of the dialogue but the illustration were a distraction for me..it felt really early 80's for some reason. Can you go further in the story or do you have to start with the first issue and go through them all?

Oh, not at all. Hellblazer is pretty self-contained for an ongoing, when it comes to story-arcs. Given, when it comes to the writer, try to stick with their volumes/arcs to get more out of them, but still, the series' volumes can be picked up just about anywhere.

Today I decided to pick up "The Man With the Getaway Face" from IDW. I highly recommend this to anybody who likes crime comics or really to anybody because I'm sure that store owners don't want to stock this giant book on their shelves. With it only being $2 it is much more than worth it's price.

there was another small show today and i picked these up. they were all $0.50 except for supes 700 which was a buck

amazing spider-man 43 (484)
avengers 2
black widow 2-3
the new avengers 1

superman 208, 218, 700

picked up witchblade compendium vol. 2 from borders. a $60 book for $22 and change...i'll take it lol. i had a 40% coupon plus $15 in borders bucks.

Last week I picked up The Couriers #1 by Brian Wood and Rob G (originally published in 2003). I have #2 & 3 waiting for me at the comic shop this weekend. I can't say I totally enjoyed the first issue/book. It was okay but nothing particularly original and I certainly didn't think it was anywhere near as good as Wood's more recent work. Rob G's art was pretty nice for the most part. I'm a little unsure about picking up the next 2 books now as they're a little expensive. Hmmmm

Today I picked up three trades for half price, plus my 15% discount:

Fire, graphic novel by Brian Bendis
Point Blank, a prequel to Ed Brubaker's Sleeper
Powers: Vol. 7
