Due to some circumstances, I no longer have an official pull list. I have a lot of comics to catch up on in my current box, and I will continue with a handful of series. But overall, I am pretty much done with comics. Focusing what little money I have for fun on movies and stuff for the kids.

As a die hard Legion fan, my pull list only has two titles on it:
Legion of Super Heroes Legion Lost
Although I must admit I pull out my old Atari Force collection from the mid 1980's for a great sci-Fi read.

Despite my growing dissatisfaction, my list hasn't shrunk much, although I did find my self hoping Legion Lost and Frankenstein get canned in the next round, which is probably a sign I should do it myself. Swamp Thing and Animal are also dangerously close to the chopping block too. Stormwatch bought itself a reprieve with a few good issues but Milligan really needs to get a handle on what he wants to do with Red Lanterns (though the zero issue was decent). Most of the others I'm still enjoying, although Demon Knights is still hit or miss.
Action Comics Happy Batman Inc. Hellblazer Stormwatch Red Lanterns Legion of Super-Heroes Legion Lost World's Finest Dial H Demon Knights Frankenstein Agent of SHADE Animal Man Swamp Thing
And the kids get:
Superman Family Adventures Sonic the Hedgehog Sonic Universe

I may also check into Journey into Mystery for the Sif story to see if it's appropriate for Hannah. She liked her in the movie Thor.

Way behind on it right now. I may fill in and then go the trade route. Depends. I will catch up with it sooner or later.

Impressive list, sir! As usual, you've got your finger on the pulse of the very best of what's going on in comics.
A few random thoughts:
Also grabbing Change myself from Image. Ales Kot impressed me with Wild Children and I think he's going to be a real fresh voice in comics.
I actually *am* getting Nowhere Men (Image). The visual design that I've seen so far was very good, and I just really like Eric Stephenson 'the person'. We'll see if I like him as a writer.
Like you, I'm full time collecting Punk Rock Jesus (Vertigo) which has been too awesome for words.
How's the Creep from Dark Horse been? This was one I hemmed and hawwed about in the CBS but ultimately passed on. I do like Arcudi.
Byrne's art for High Ways (IDW) looks mesmerizing.
Glad you're grabbing Where is Jake Ellis! I'm also definitely grabbing Mara, Great Pacific, Storm Dogs and Bedlam. I was leaving Clone as a 'decide on the spot buy'.
I considered Multiple Warheads from Image but didn't reserve it. I haven't been to the CBS in over a month. So now I probably missed the small window to get it (if my CBS even ordered it) and ultimately will just pass.
How's Fashion Beast?
No Free Cyberforce issues? I'm grabbing them because their free and will give them the chance to draw me in. I would never think of getting it if it wasn't free though.

I eventually picked up the free Cyberforce issue because the price couldn't be beat (right? )and because you said some kind words about it. Haven't read yet but will eventually.
I may still pick up Nowhere Men if the reviews are good but having Stephenson writing it was the main reason to not have it in the pull. He's a great comics exec, but I'm skeptical about him as a writer. Seems he scripted some of those early Liefeld abominations for Image, too, so that's a minus if I'm right.
Many of those other upcoming Image books seem worth a look for one reason or another, even if some of their creative teams are unfamiliar. I don't want to miss the next big thing from Image!
Haven't read the first Fashion Beast issue yet, but it IS Alan frickin' Moore, and the reviews have been VERY good! It's based on an unproduced movie script he wrote. So while he didn't script it for this adaptation, it's apparently very faithful. the art looks great, too.
(Fuck! I just realized I left Saucer Country off the list! Still grabbing that one and still enjoying. The first of a two-parter I just read in which Cornell details some stuff about America's UFO/alien abduction thru one of the characters is eye-opening!)
I read Creep #0 the other day. So far...so good! Kind of a noirish book that really drew me in. When I read another issue, I'll give a deeper analysis.
