[jjreason]

More DC stuff from Store C - which has expanded & looks great. I haven't bought so much DC in one calendar year since.... well ever. I don't imagine I'll follow any of it beyond the first story arc, but they have been fun to track down & not bad to read.

Flash 2,3
Detective 934 - first printing at cover price, so I'm caught up on that title
Action (part 4, whatever number it was)
Red Hood & the Outlaws Rebirth 1
Action 51 (missing just 3 parts from the final days of superman arc now - Superman 51 and 2 issues of Batman/Superman)

Between 2 different stores, I picke up 24 different books. Only one first issue, and 3 CW2 tie ins. At the first store...

ANAD Avengers 12. While fighting Annihilus, Miles gets left behind in the negative zone, and a clever "wrestling tag-in" ballet involving Capt Marvel's old Negabands ensues to rescue him and stop Annihilus.

New Avengers 14. CW2 tie in(but not really). The Maker attacks the New Avengers base, while Songbird gets rescued from SHIELD. Damn fun comic.

Uncanny Avengers 11. The old and new Wasps bond. And the rest of the team fights the Pym/Ultron monster.

Black Panther 4. Lots of talking and politicizing in this fascinating revamping of Wakanda. It's a slow book, but quite good.

Capt America Steve 3. Red Skull consolidates his Hydra power by offing Zemo( no one believes that, do they?) and Hydra Steve has his own agenda after saving Dr. Selvig.

Carnage 10. It's Toxin vs Carnage as the team blows up the freighter and the timeline catches up to the beginning of the arc where they rescued Jubilile.

Civil War II 4. Clint Barton is acquitted of the murder of Bruce Banner. Tony Stark unlocks the secret of Ulysses' power and his team goes to confront Carol's team.

GIJoe ARAH 230. Dawn is on the run from Zartan. Bombstrike is caught by the Black Major, and a cool underwater battle off the coast of Broca Beach.

GFT Swimsuit Special 2016. With Marvel and DC being all PC and inclusive these days, it's gratifying someone is still willing to objectify women in scanty bikinis looking for lost contacts.

Howard the Duck 9. Lea Thompson hires Howard to figure out why she's been having blackouts. It's because Mojo has secretly been casting her as Bev in Howard tv series. I'm sad this book is getting cancelled because it's been hilarious.

Mockingbird 5. The first arc cleverly concludes. The idea of the first arc is that you can read the issues in any order. I may have to try that sometime. The whole series has been a lot of fun.

Moon Girl Devil Dinosaur 9. Moon Girl attend to fight crime and defeat her new "nemesis" Kid Kree, until their amateur antics are noticed by "veteran" Superhero Ms Marvel.

Old Man Logan 9. Having originally dropped this after issue 3, I picked this up because of the interesting cover design. OML heads to Japan.

Squirrel Girl 10. SG must rebuff the amorous advances of Mole Man.

Transformers MTMTE 55. So, I finally sat down and read issues 52-55 all back to back. Heartbreaking. I won't spoil who didn't make it out.

Transformers Titans Return oneshot. Sentinel Prime is back. He is very displeased. With everything.

Thor 9. There's been a hostile takeover attempt of Roxxon, and now Thor has to rescue that piece of shit Dario Aggar or Manhattan will explode.

ExX-Men 12. This has been the least disappointing of the Apocalypse Wars non-event arcs. Instead of destroying Apoc, they bring him back to the present so he can "fix" Colossus, his new Horseman.

And from the second store...

Uncanny Avengers 6. Found the back issue I was missing. Avengers Mansion is now a theme b'n'b for cosplayers. Wtf?

Batman 3. The origin of Gotham and Gotham Girl.

Betty and Veronica 1. I found the Adam Hughes cover. This was actually a lot of fun to read. If I can find subsequent issues, I'll stick with it as long as AH is doing it.

Hulk 9. CW2 tie in. Cho deals with Banner's death and Barton's acquittal.

True Believers Star Wars 1. $1 reprint of the original 1977 Star Wars 1.

True Believers Star Wars Covers. $1 collection of a bunch of the variant covers from the new SW series.

[DeckardSmith]

12 books this week. 3 CW2 tie ins.

Batman 4. I feel like I missed an issue, just because of the non linear storytelling style. Gotham breaks bad because someone took his picture.

CW2: Kingpin 2. Kingpin consolidates his power thanks to the precog diffusing powers of Janus.

Daredevil Annual 1. Because EVERY FUCKING ANNUAL IS A 1. Echo is back and alive with no explanation whatsoever.

Deadpool 16. CW2 tie in. Trapped in a time locked vault, Solo explains why Deadpool's current uber popularity is thanks to him masquerading as DP and saving the world. Also, Madcap is back.

Deadpool v Gambit 3. Deadpool gets the power of Iron Fist.

Doctor Strange 10. Strange defeats Emperikul with the help of his pain monster, but magic is still broken.

Iron Man 12. CW2 tie in. Tony deals with the fallout of the Inhumans attack on his...everything. And he meets Riri Williams, the Mary Sue who will be Iron Man.

Intl Iron Man 5. Tony meets his biological mother...maybe.

Punisher 4. Frank kills a bunch of guys. Dillon continues to suck up what is a fairly decent, if unoriginal, Punisher story.

Silk 11. Cindy meets her ex-boyfriend, who is now dead. And a superhero. And she reveals her secret ID to her coworkers.

Transformers 55. Holy shit. HOLY SHIT!! The final confrontation between Optimus, ArCee, and Soundwave against Galvatron. And I do mean final. "I surrender." "I know."

Uncanny X-Men 11. Not much happens. Sabretooth kills a velociraptor. And the X-Men go to the Hellfire Club.

(replacement) Inhumans 12, my last copy had horrible white markings on the cover from where they must have stacked the books with the ink still wet
All Star Batman 1 - which was fine, but I'm not sure how it fits in with the other Bat Books, I guess he just has a billion things going on at once like Wolverine.

I'm behind on reading, by about 30 books. Time to get cracking.

[DeckardSmith]

12 books this week. Only 2 CW2 tie ins this week. One(ish) First Issue.

Amazing Spidey 16. Leading up to Dead No More. Pete's stepdad Jay Jameson needs an experimental procedure that just so happens to be offered by the Jackal in disguise. This will not end well.

ANAD Avengers 13. CW2 tie in sorta. Vision decides to time travel and kill Kang as a child. But after a fight with a mysterious shade character and a whispered prophecy, he insteads absconds with the child to safely raise him somewhere. An intriguing retcon to Kang's history.

ANAD Avengers Annual 1. An annual with a #1 on it? How fresh. Ms Marvel reads online fanfic about her fellow Avengers.

Black Panther 5. The deconstruction and reconstruction of Wakanda continues. This book is getting better every issue.

Civil War II: The Accused Oneshot. The trial of Clint Barton. I could've done without the conspiracy plot twist. A straightforward presentation of the facts of the case would've made for a compelling story.

Daredevil 10. DD and Blindspot find a dead guy who's been painting murals with the blood of hundreds of others. Also, how is Matt not fired yet? His work ethic is shit.

Deadpool Mercs For Money 2. Henceforth DP M4M. DP and the Mercs hunt down Radioactive Man.

Deathstroke Rebirth. Chris Priest's new DS book begins.

Spidey/DP 8. After 2 fill in issues Kelly and McGuiness are back to finish their first arc. Spidey gets a badass new stealth suit.

Darth Vader 24. A trip through Vader's mind as he rejects Anakin and embraces the Dark Side. Heartbreaking.

Vision 10. While under house arrest after the events of last issue, the Visions deal with their losses. And Vision decides to not be under house arrest anymore. The goosebumps!! This book is so fucking good. Only two issues left.

ANX-Men 12. Angel and Wolverine deal with their problematic relationship. Guh. Go back to the past already. Apart from Scott, you've all overstayed your welcome.

[jjreason]

The annuals are fucking terrible - Daredevil being a perfect example. Shit art, bad story. And I haven't even read the 2nd story yet. I should save my money.

Justice League 3
Detective 938
Action 961

Thor 10

[Diabolical]

The annuals are fucking terrible - Daredevil being a perfect example. Shit art, bad story. And I haven't even read the 2nd story yet. I should save my money.

So it's on par with the main series?

[jjreason]

Yeah, this hasn't been strong to say the least. They need to go back & tell us where the fuck the sidekick came from.

[Diabolical]

Or better yet, retcon his sorry ass out of existence.

[anarky]

Perhaps his home planet will need him.

[jjreason]

That actually made me think for a second.

Store A:

Superman 5
Batman 5
Supergirl Rebirth 1

Uncanny Av 12
Ultimates 10
CW The Accused
CW The Fallen

Missing: Civil War XMen 3, Black Widow 6, All New Inhumans 10

[Diabolical]

Perhaps his home planet will need him.
