I just ordered the AmVamp TPB... took them forever to release the softcover and I missed the HC solicit! hopefully the next volumes will be forthcoming apace... Green Wake sounds interesting and looks stunning. I may check online with Midtown rather than tradesit...

Still at the top of my list is P.S.238 by Aaron Williams, though it has been appearing less and less frequently over the past year. www.ps238.com
I'm also still getting Age Of Bronze by Eric Shanower, published intermittently by Image. www.age-of-bronze.com
Apparently, a new volume of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was just released; I'm working on tracking down a copy. This issue seems to have been solicited with very little fanfare, and I completely overlooked it.
Just one more issue to go for John Byrne's Next Men, though reportedly a spin-off of sorts is in the pipeline.
Which brings us to DC:
Justice League Justice League International
I've been following the JLA for forty years; I don't buy every tie-in miniseries, but I do always buy the main title. I can't get excited about "Justice League Dark" based on what I've heard about it so far, though.
Legion of Super-Heroes Legion Lost
Sticking with the LSH, and I will give the new spinoff a chance, though I for one would be a lot happier if Tellus and Gates were staying with the main team. The Legion needs *more* non-humanoid characters, and instead they're losing two of the few they had!
Action Comics Superman
I've been following the Super-titles for a while. I'm interested in seeing what the new creative teams will do ... though that cover for Superman # 1 looks disturbingly a lot more like S-Prime than good ol' Supes.
Captain Atom Mister Terrific
After reading a number of online interviews with writers of new ongoing DC titles, I have decided to give two of them a chance sight unseen. I was tempted by a few others, but I thought I'd better leave some room in my budget for miniseries. And sure enough, October brought:
LSH: Secret Origins (apologies if this is not exactly the correct title) The Shade Star Trek/Legion of Super-Heroes

So today, I figured out my new pull list as of September. I made quite a few cuts but anticipate I'll be sampling a lot of new books and possibly not having *hard* cuts on books I'm not gonna commit to anymore (like GL family and FF). So here, for the first time ever in this thread, is a complete Lardy Pull List for Sept/Oct.....
DC Legion of Super Heroes Legion Lost Legion: Secret Origin Batgirl Batwoman Batman Swamp Thing Firestorm Justice League Justice League International Flash Aquaman Superman
DC/Vertigo Scalped Fables American Vampire American Vampire : Survival of Fittest DMZ (trades)

Jillikers! I can't wait for Comic Book Review Month: September Edition for you to review all of those! Green Wake, Drums, Undying Love--all comics I haven't tried! Jennifer Blood, which I'm also reading. And Ka-Zar which totally flew under my radar!
Cool to have you post this Lardy!
Like you, so many DC Comics are in that "bubble" where I'll be testing the waters here and there. I might say I'm not going to get it, but chances are I'll buy at least #1 and #2.

Yeah, if you look back thru this thread, this really IS the first time I've posted a full list! There are a few others I'm gonna try like JL Dark and maybe the GL titles if the reviews show they're going in the direction I want them to, but these are what I want held in my bag. I'm tempted to pare things down even more, so I can continue to try new awesome-looking Image titles!
I just read Drums #2 last night: this Image mini is FRICKIN' AWESOME!!! I hope it gets an ongoing upgrade like Green Wake did. Undying Love looks to be a series of miniseries. Reviews of all three will be upcoming--PROMISE!
Issue 1 of the Ka-Zar mini was pretty terrific as well--I posted a mini-review here!
Accidentally unlisted on the Image section was Jonathan Hickman's The Red Wing. I read issue one yesterday, as well, and so far, it looks to be better than either his FF or SHIELD!

I also loved Hickman's Red Wing and was all set up to review before I got pulled away to do something else. We should both make sure to review #2!
I know nothing about Drums or Undying Love and am now curious!

Is anyone getting Blue Estate by Image? I've been hemming and hawwing for awhile and now wish I'd added it right away. I'll have to trackdown the back issues and those are hard to find (I'll ask my CBS guy anyway if he can help).
It looks really good.
Instead I probably got something terrible like the latest issues of Action Comics or Uncanny X-Men. Dumb, Cobie, dumb!

I'm picking up Blue Estate, Des. Overall, I'm enjoying it. It doesn't feel "must read" at this point, so I didn't put it on my official pull. However, I do plan to continue to pick it up over at least the next 2 or 3 issues minimum. I'll try to post a more specific review soon.

Dave, I'm hoping you do a review of Hellblazer for CBRM! I don't collect it and am always curious on how it is these days.

I keep meaning to throw them in the Vertigo thread, but always forget. Needless to say its been an excellent run with Milligan exploring John's Mid-Life Crisis.

Egads! Two months ago, pre-DCnU, I only had 3 titles on my pull list, and just one of them was from DC (Legion). Now I have 24 books on my list, and all but 6 are from DC!

I'm also collecting more DCnU than I intended!
I've actually made some small cuts on comics I wasn't truly enjoying to make more room for them:
Super Dinosaur Ultimate Spider-Man (in fact I passed on all the Ultimate relaunches) The Dark Tower (just doesn't thrill me like the novels did). House of Mystery (cancelled but I was gonna axe it anyway).
There's a few more that might be cut but in a lot of cases the publishers are making my list smaller anyway.
Nonetheless, I'm still collecting way more comics in Oct than I was in Aug!
