Just put in my order for October. My usual bust is $80, after my 15% discount. This month's order comes to $91.60 (retail $107.75) due to the Peanuts book. Need to do some buttering-up to the spousal unit post haste!
DARK HORSE COMICS Who Wnats to be a Super-Hero?
DC COMICS 52 #22-25 Action Comics #844 All-New Atom #4 Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis #46 Batman #658 Blue Beetle #8 Detective Comics #824 Jonah Hex #12 Justice #8 Justice League of America #3 Mystery in Space #2 Nightwing #125 Shadowpact #6 Supergirl and the Legion of Super-Heroes #23 Superman #657 Superman/Batman #31 Tales of the Unexpected #1 Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters #4
DC/WILDSTORM Astro City: The Dark Age Book 2 #1
MARVEL COMICS Captain America #23 Daredevil #90 Union Jack #2
FANTAGRAPHICS The Complete Peanuts: 1961-1962
Nightwing (for the Wolfman/Jurgens team), Unexpected and Astro City are new adds this month.
To make room, and to not run over budget too much, I cut the Showcase volume, Krypto and Althena Voltaire.
FWIW, I cut Supergirl and Hawkgirl last month. Flash was cut the month before.

Wow it looks like some of you are keeping mainstream comics going almost single-handedly. My list is pretty small and some titles are sporadic. Some weeks nothing comes out that I buy and I breath a sigh of relief since I don't have to shell out the dough.
Legion of Super-Heroes (natch) Astonishing X-Men All-Star Superman Justice Love & Rockets (the best non-superhero comic ever!) Authority (anything, new series looks promising) Planetary Eightball (when it comes out *sigh*) Acme Novelty Library Optic Nerve Eternals (it better have a great ending since it's mostly just been build up) Seven Soldiers Squadron Supreme/Supreme Power (getting a bit annoyed with the slow pace and grim, mean-spiritedness but it's fairly well written and I like the art)

Thinking of adding more, but I don't know, I will see. I'm just getting back into it all... so time will tell. The Wolverine title looks interesting, also read Supergirl #12 (didn't seem too bad), but I've heard too much bad stuff... eh... who knows maybe the new Brave and the Bold title coming in February...

I'm running into some money problems so I'm going to have to prune my pull list. It was:
Supergirl and the Legion of Super-Heroes Justice League of America Justice Society of America The All-New Atom Blue Beetle The Spirit 52
and I was intending to add All-Star Superman, The Brave and the Bold, and The Legion of Super-Heroes in the 31st Century, and possibly Justice League Unlimited.
But now it's going to look more like this:
Supergirl and the Legion of Super-Heroes The Legion of Super-Heroes in the 31st Century (upcoming) The All-New Atom (maybe) Blue Beetle (maybe) The Spirit (maybe) Justice Society of America (maybe just until Starman gets sorted out)

So after years an years of being a CBS nomad - In LA you can do that kind of thing, I know I am so spoiled I have finnally decided to settle down and make a pull list for Meltdown on sunset. They are < 1 mile from my work and I have conned some coworkers into walking with me which makes it fun. They limit it to 15 so I had to make some choices.
1. 52 - For a weekly book this has been extremely consistant 2. JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA - this is getting astoundingly good lately 3. RUNAWAYS - on the edge of my seat after last issue 4. ALL STAR SUPERMAN - This has been head and shoulders above everything else in both writing and art 5. SUPERGIRL AND THE LEGION OF THE SUPER-HEROES - This is intricately crafted with incredible character chemistry. I am addicted! 6. X-FACTOR - Solid writing and of course Quicksilver 7. BIRDS OF PREY - Gail Simone is a very talenented writer. Oracle is one of my all time Faves and now Big Barda! 8. ASTONISHING X-MEN - Joss Whedon and John Cassiday! Great character insights and top notch art. 9. CHECKMATE - Super powered espionage! Black Ops! Amanda Waller. This is definitely not a kid's book. It continues to surprise me. 10. MANHUNTER - The grass roots campaign to keep this book alive has been out of control so I am back to reading it. So far I am loving it. 11. SUPERMAN CONFIDENTIAL - This has been a great study on what makes superman a complex character... trust me Singer has no clue how to deal with this character 12. ACTION COMICS - Wow 4 super titles on this list... How did this happen? The super family used to be so boring. This book is being written by Richard Donner right now and you get a feeling it is his response to how Singer messed up 13. NEWUNIVERSAL - I don't have much experience with the New Universe outside of the Exiles arc but it has been intriguing so far 14. INCREDIBLE HULK - Husband's Addition. Very much The incredible Conan since the Planet Hulk started. Interesting, but very macho 15. New X-Men - Husband's Addition. I haven't been into it lately but it is amusing and there are some interesting subplots.
Runners up ----------- ETERNALS - only 1 issue left in this miniseries WELCOME TO TRANQUILITY - Not ready to commit yet. ULTIMATES 2 - only 1 issue left & it isn't out till March SILENT WAR - This is a mini and it hasn't started yet. ALL STAR BATGIRL - This wont be out for almost a year YOUNG AVENGERS - This is on hiatus for another month or so at least

1. 52 - excellent series. I am really enjoying the way in which nearly every part of the DCU is explored.
2. 100 Bullets -great crime series. 3. All Star Superman fantastic art and very inventive and wonderful stories. what's not to like?
4. Checkmate- The best spy comic out, next to Queen & Country. 5. Conan- old school sword and fantasy. 6. Criminal -another crime, noir book. blame my old man. he introduced me to Double Indeminity at an early age.
7.Fables - fantastic series. all the child hood fables brought to life, and it's not always pretty.
8. Invincible- a superhero book with almost as many supporting cast and plot lines as the LSH at full roster.
9. Justice Society of America -two issues in and I am hooked. 10. Legion of Super-Heroes -needs no explanation on this board. 11. Powers- this is the best book that Bendis writes.
12. Red Sonja -bold, wide-screen sword and fantasy adventure. don't let the skimpy outfit and variant covers fool you. This is a classic in the making.
13. Samurai -great art, excellent story. and all the ads are placed in the back after the story! 14. Y The Last Man -an exploration of a world where all the men but one have died. another home run from Vertigo.
