You'll know if you read it.

The last 8-10 pages are blank black pages to let it sink in. There's no ads or letters pages at all.

I went & bought a digital copy so I could read it before I came back to see if you replied. Great & terrible. I had a bad feeling that one thing was going to happen a couple of issues ago, doesn't make me any less sick now. Hoping against hope it might resolve differently than we are thinking.

Stopped at my LCS for the first time since November 9. Got all my pulls and a couple more.

I'm so far behind on Saga, it's not even funny.

42 just came out which would be the end of volume 7 - of course that TPB won't come out for a few months.

Revolution: Pretty good, but looks like I need the tie-ins to get the full story. (Lots of jumps in the story accompanied by footnotes.)

I fucking love Soundwave.

Ordered Action Man Vol. 1 because it's by Barber and now set in the same world as Transformers. Haven't read yet.

Also played some catch-up (but haven't read yet, either) and got Jem and the Holograms Vols. 2-3. I'm hoping they're at least half as good as the pleasantly surprising first.

I'm going tomorrow, it's not going to be pretty.

Well I've completed $0 in sales so far but managed to purchase $92 worth of new comics from Store B. That wasn't how I planned it.....

Lost Boys 5 for my coworker (hopefully that's the end, I thought it was going to be 4 issues....)

Superman 16,17
Action 972,973

Spider-Woman 1-4 (still on the shelf in great shape at cover price), 15
Rogers Cap 9,10
Black Widow 11
ASM Renew 4

Store A, another $87 worth. Told him I had to be done buying new books by the end of the summer & he was ok with it. Not sure if I'm ok with it.

Unc X-Men 18 (dropped after IvX)
Unc Inhumans 19 (dropped after IvX)

Thor 16 (not sure, going to at least finish the ShiAr War arc & see)
GotG 17 (keeping until the end of Bendis' run, so 2-3 more issues)
Dr Strange 17 (keeping for now, but I see Bachalo is not the artist here, might drop after I catch up on reading)
DD17 (dropped)
Batman 17 (dropped)

Even though I'm supposed to be stopping, I'm still buying. Here's what's been purchased since the last update:

SW29
Last 2 issues of Batman, Detective, Action & Superman (the 18th issues of each series since Rebirth I guess I lied about dropping Batman last time)

Dr Strange 18 - exiting at 20 when Aaron & Bachalo jump off
Unworthy Thor 4 - I'll stick with both Thors until Jason Aaron is done here as well
IVX 5
Clone Conspiracy Omega & ASM 24 - a clean jumping off point, as Norman Osborn will be back in the oversized 25 - which will be my final issue

Warren Ellis' The Wild Storm 1 - I still have a soft spot for Planetary & the Authority - this is the best writer for those series Rebrithing the entire Wild Storm universe. I'll give it a few to see where he goes. Likely better consumed in trade format, but it's hard not to buy stuff. :*(

Didn't Ellis relaunch WildStorm about a decade ago, and only managed one issue before he got bored and moved onto other things?

I'm still buying stuff and not reading it, but I dropped all the X-books because they were all tying into IvX and I could care less. Pretty sure the Marvel books I'm 'keeping up with' all have at least one issue missing from their run somewhere.

I told my LCS guy I've got like four months backlog of unread stuff and he got a little nervous. He said he's seen that before from people who stop reading/collecting. Since I drop $40-60 a week with him, I'm fairly certain I'm one of if not the biggest customer in that shop.

The Xbooks are rebooting after ivx anyhow, you'll catch whatever final 2-3 issues you miss from each series in the quarter bins some time soon. Back to X-Men Gold & Blue. Inhumans is also starting over apparently.

That's what I was thinking. Most Marvel books are stuffed in dollar bins six months after they come out.
