[DeckardSmith]

A whopping 20 books this week. 2 First Issues(or maybe 5) and only one CW2 tie in. Probably because the Event is over except for the terminally delayed main book.

Amazing Spidey 21. Clone tie in. The story of how Kaine is back after he "died" in Spider-Verse. Except now he's dying again. Godammit Slott, quit trolling Scarlet Spider fans!

Atomic Robo and the Temple of Od 4. I am grateful that IDW offered a home to AR.

Batman 11. Batman's plans to steal Psycho Pirate from Bane in Santa Prisca go awry when Catwoman double crosses the team.

Sam Wilson 15. Demolition Man gets a chance to shine when a UCW reunion charity gets robbed.

Carnage 14. Chthon's followers think Carnage is the sacrifice. But they're wrong.

Comic Book History of Comics 1. First Issue of a wonderful new series that tells the story of comics in a fun comic style way. Highly recommended.

Deadpool 22. Madcap continues his ultimate revenge plan against Wade by infecting Wade's loved ones with a fast killing weaponized hemorrhagic fever.

Dr Strange 14. Strange is forced to eat demonic bacon in Santana's hell.

Iron Doom 2. Victor tries to recruit Mad Thinker into...whatever he's planning. And Ben Grimm acts like a major douche at the Latverian Embassy.

Jessica Jones 2. Cage confronts Jess about their daughter. And her case gets complicated when the woman who hired her is killed by her husband.

Mosaic 2. Morris continues to learn the extent of his new body swapping/jumping powers. I realize it's incredibly difficult to introduce a brand new character with his own ongoing in this day and age, but I'm not really feeling this one. Dropped.

Revolution Transformers Til All Are One oneshot. Optimus needs Windblade to come to Earth and Titanwhisper to Autobot City, and she heads to the Microverse to talk to Micronus Prime and Baron Karza. I'm not feeling the all inclusive Hasbroverse.

Revolution GIJoe oneshot. The Joes head to former EDC HQ on the bikini islands to investigate a Dire Wraith infestation. Grand Slam dies from friendly fire art the hands of Rock'n'Roll.

Silk 14. Clone tie in. Maddie Franklin, aka Spider-Woman 3.0 is one the Jackal's resurrected clones. Her adopted father, J Jonah Jameson is thrilled, but Silk has her doubts.

Squadron Supreme 13. Hyperion and Spectrum head back in time to save Namor before he gets beheaded by them.

Squirrel Girl 14. SG, Ant-Man and their friends use science to defeat Enigmo. Yay. Physics!

Spider-Man 9. CW2 tie in. Miles' friends and family try to figure out where he's disappeared to after the events of Civil War 6. Nice character moments for Spidey's supporting cast.

Thanos 1. First Issue. Thanos confronts Corvus Glaive. And Starfox amd Tryco Slatterus team up to kill Thanos.

Wolverine 14. The trail of whoever dropped the trigger scent on Laura and had her kill an entire Canadian town leads to Madripoor.

Uncanny X-Men Annual 1. Marvel changes things up and releases an annual with a 1 on the cover. This is done to prevent confusion with all the other X-Men annual 1's they've released over the last several years.

[jjreason]

Ultimates 2 1
Han 5
SW 25 regular & IG88 variant
Death of X 4
CWII 7
Thor 13
Wonder Woman 11
Detective 945
Action 968

[DeckardSmith]

16 books this week. Two Firsts, Two Finals. One CW2 book.

Amazing Spidey Annual 1. Not only is every annual a first annual anymore, but now they've been dropping with multiple Variant covers, so if you find them later in the back issue bins, you might be grabbing an issue you already had. How would you ever know? They've all got fucking #1's on the cover.

Civil War II 7. After Ulysses has a vision of Old Man Logan's future, the inevitable showdown between Capt Marvel and Iron Man comes to a head. Iron Man dies--oh wait, that's next issue. My bad.

Deadpool Too Soon 2. Deadpool continues to hunt for Forbush Man's killer. He teams up with Ant-Man to fight some Hydra agents on a yacht in Miami, then comes home to his wife roasting Howard the Duck for dinner. Honestly, I'm not sure what the point of this series is, other than slap DP on a cover to get people to buy it.

Deathstroke 7. Adelaide enlists Superman's help to bring down Deathstroke.

GIJoe ARAH 234. The Collins family makes an alliance with Zartan while undercover in Springfield. Bombstrike vs Black Major.

Moon Girl Devil Dinosaur 13. Luna discovers she might be the smartest person in the Marvel U.

Prowler 2. Clone tie in. Hobie finds Julia Carpenter using the Shroud's network to figure out what NewU is up to. The clone tie in stuff is hamstringing what might've made for an interesting ongoing, but I'm rather enjoying the art of Jamal Campbell over Javier Salteres' layouts.

Star Wars 25. The heroes deliver the stolen Star Destroyer and save the colony, I guess. Why wouldn't Vader just go down there and kill everybody after they left as an object lesson? The fetch squad of Stormtroopers takes Threepio.

Han Solo 5. Final Issue. Han wins the space race and saves the space spies or whatever. Bleh. I'm quickly losing interest in all things Comic Book Star Wars.

Thor 13. Thor forms a team of heroes from the Nine Ten Realms to fight Malekith's evil elf army.

Transformers TAAO 5. An army of undead Titans attacks Cybertron. Starscream rallies the colonies to fight back and Windblade wakes up Metroplex. Awwww yeah.

Ultimates2 1. First Issue. Miss America Chavez is in charge now, and she has Galactus get the team back together. That's right, Miss America is Galactus' boss. This book is fucking awesome.

Venom 1. First Issue. A former army ranger is the new host for the Symbiote.

All New X-Men Annual 1. Marvel slaps a "1" on one of their annuals, in what will be regarded as a radical attention getting Move. Idie goes on a date. And Dani Moonstar and Magik help Lady Mastermind deal with her M-Pox.

Death of X 4. Final Issue. For months we've been hearing how Cyclops did something horrible and then died and has become a pariah of mutant community. It turns out what he did was walk into the Muir Island research facility, catch M-Pox, and die on the floor a few minutes later. Emma Frost was behind everything after that. Leads into IvsX.

Sonic Mega Drive 1. The boy was in town for the weekend, so I got him a Sonic comic. Didn't read it.

[jjreason]

All Star Batman #4 - Still waiting for the 2nd printing of #1. May drop it anyway. $5 an issue sucks.

I can look here, I think there may still be a few kicking around at least one of the stores. If I find one, I'll grab it & you can decide.

I'm about ready to drop it after #5 honestly. I'm having a hard time keeping track of what's going on - it jumps all over the place so much - and I also find it difficult to figure out how it fits into the new continuity... I need a reading order scorecard or something.

[Diabolical]

Thanks, but not necessary.
I'm probably done with it anyway. The $4.99 price is a killer.

[jjreason]

Ok gotcha. It might be one of those series that doesn't exactly have a long & happy run - you're not alone on the price point, especially with the other 2 books coming out biweekly.

[Diabolical]

Which I'm pretty sure I'm done with. $12 a month for 2 titles that haven't been all that good? No thanks.

[Tom Foolery]

I've only read Detective sporadically since Rebirth and Batman hasn't been what I was expecting from Tom King.
However, I've been enjoying the hell out of Priest's Deathstroke series.

[jjreason]

I've been enjoying the Superman more than the Batman, taking all things into consideration. Hoping the second King arc fine tunes things a bit.

Saga 40 from Store B has been my sole purchase for this week. I have Marvels waiting at the other place but haven't had a chance to go get them yet.

[Tom Foolery]

I haven't read any on my books this week.

[jjreason]

From the past 2 weeks:

Batman 12 - the penultimate chapter of "I am Suicide" which reveals the rationale behind the arc's name. Love the addition to the bat-mythos or hate it, I won't listen to anyone who says this wasn't an awesome comic. Exciting panel layouts, great action, amazing big splash page..... really good issue, try to track this down if you're not buying Batman.

Batman annual 1
SW annual 2 (yep, no kidding - annual #2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Clone Conspiracy 3
GotG 14
ExXMen 16
OM Logan 14
Unc Inhumans
Hulk 12
Spider Woman 13 - couldn't pass on the Hobgoblin cover, too cool. Haven't read any previous issues of this series though
Nova 1
AN XM annual 1

[Tom Foolery]

I haven't read Batman yet, but I read what the new addition was, and I approve. He wasn't Batman when his parents died, so for Bruce to have that mentality at that moment and then overcome just adds to the Dark Knight.

How about that plot twist in Clone Conspiracy?? I love how hard Dan Slott trolls fans with his storylines. I totally approve. In hindsight, given the subject matter of the Event, it should have been soooo obvious.


Signs of the coming Apocalypse

1. Cubs will finally win World Series
2. America will elect Trump President
3. Marvel will publish an annual without a 1 on the cover.


.......



Oh shit.

[jjreason]

I'm not into the Clone Conspiracy stuff yet for fear of spoilering (the already spoiled) finale of Civil War II. Now up to almost 40 issues in the reading pile.

Store B:

Inhumans vs X-Men 0
Moon Knight 9 - possibly my last issue, I want to see how this story resolves
Superman 12
Superman Annual 1

Missing: Black Widow 8 & Unworthy Thor 2
