I read Green Lantern in trades thanks to the Library. Or else I'd probably try to shoehorn that in as well.

Buffy Adventure (which I read just for the Legion storyette)
Buffy - Season 8 is supposed to go for about another year. I'll have to see if Legion alone is enough to get me to go to the CBS after that.

Picked up a nice batch of TPBs yesterday and I'll review once I read:
Air Vol 1 & 2 Scalped Vol 2-4 Invincible 3-4 Cooke's The Hunter
And I followed Sarcasm Kid's advice and got the rest of the Walking Dead's I need online.
Should be a great January for reading comics...
(And I'll repost my pull list soon--its basically everything these days )

Well, I recently did a revised pull list for my Dad and I to go over so I figured I’d post it here. For those who don’t know, my father and I collect these titles together and split the cost. Sometimes my brother will join us in this venture, but usually not. I *think* I’ve got them all, but its hard to keep track of.

Cobie I have to make a couple of suggestions:
The Web is getting a new writer soon- Matt Sturgis. I recommend giving him a few issues, he's always brings a little excitement to a title. And you know you loved him on House of Mystery and the tail end of Blue Beetle.
B.P.R.D. is a great horror comic without being all gothy or gory. Mignola and Arcudi are telling long form stories like Bendis and Johns, with individual arcs having a complete feel to them. You're welcome to trade trades sometime and let me know what ya think.

Ceej, can't wait to see your reviews of everything you haven't gotten to yet, particularly the Dark Horse titles.
For the Web, I'm sticking around until Sturges comes on and seeing what he does with the title. I like his quirky writing style. I might just not pick up #3 and #4 until he gets there.
B.P.R.D. is something I might hit up in trades (Hellboy too). We had talked about this a year ago--there's a thread for it on LW if you search under "Hellboy", so I'll be awaiting any reviews you might give on it. Hellboy / B.P.R.D. is one of those rare instances where the movie was so damn awesome I felt like I needed to check out the comic.

Batgirl's been sitting there for me also since I started picking it up, Ceej, but last month's issue may have saved it for me by showing me how good it can potentially be. Please post your latest thoughts about that series on its thread when you have time! (It's currently on page 2 of this forum)

So the May solicits are out and that means it's time for me to think about what I'm going to feed my addiction with that month.
A combination of starting a new Law degree (and all the time and money that entails) and a general dis-satisfaction with where comics are going (price-wise and content-wise) has me buying fewer books than ever though.
For the first time since I got back into comics in my early 20s I truly wonder whether I'll still be reading them this time next year.
Anyhoo, here are my picks -
CURRENT BOOKS
1. The Brave and the Bold ... without a doubt my favourite book. All those people who complain about the "modern, post-Identity Crisis" DCU should read this book! 2. Green Lantern ... Geoff Johns has created a movement with this book. 3. Adventure Comics ... have enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would but its glory days are just around the corner (I hope). 4. Batman and Robin ... Morrison's Dick-as-Batman tales have not been anywhere near as good as his Bruce-as-Batman ones (IMO) but there is still a creativity and energy in this title that most other books lack. 5. Madame Xanadu ... still loving this blend of Vertigo and the DCU.
6. The Walking Dead (in TPB) ... the most addictive thing I've ever read! Even though I *despise* certain characters and story choices I MUST. KEEP. COMING. BACK. FOR. MORE.
UPCOMING BOOKS
1. Brightest Day ... I LOVE the Aqua-verse! This book is a lock! 2. Legion of Super-Heroes ... as is this one. 3. Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne ... Grant Morrison's foray into the Bat-verse has started to show some wear but I've come with him this far, I may as well go all the way.
MAYBES
1. Green Lantern Corps ... for a long-story reason I haven't read this book in a while - even though I've been buying it. Wondering if I should just stop buying until I catch up on my reading? 2. Birds of Prey ... the internet excitement about Simone's return has rubbed off on me - even though I didn't particularly love her last sojourn with this team. 3. Zatanna ... a long-time fave character but Paul Dini's last Vertigo one-shot with her was nothing special and I *cannot stand* her stripper boots! The artist is fantastic though. 4. DC Universe: Legacies ... I am a sucker for this type of project but when I'm tightening my belt I wonder if I really need it? Especially at that price!
5. Air (in TPB) ... I want the time and money to read this! 6. Scalped (in TPB) ... as above. 7. The Unwritten (in TPB) ... ditto.
RECENTLY DROPPED
1. Detective Comics ... I've come to the decision that I just do not like Greg Rucka's style of writing - and the Question back-up was the biggest snooze that ever snoozed! 2. Doom Patrol ... there were some Ups but far too many Downs in this very uneven and disappointing book. 3. Superman: Secret Origin ... started off with a bang but then very quickly fell away. Between this and the awful Flash: Rebirth has Geoff Johns begun to lose his lustre?

This will be my list (as the titles start...)

Since I posted last (it's on page 7, if you care), a number of minis have run their course and some other got dropped, so now we're at:
DC (incl. Vertigo and Wildstorm): Adventure Comics (decided to keep it. I'll miss Krypto) Brave & The Bold (One of the best books you aren't buying) Brightest Day Superman War of the Supermen Detective Comics Batman Batman & Robin (I've really enjoyed this) Batman:Streets of Gotham Doom Patrol Secret Six Flash Green Lantern Justice League of America Justice Society of America JSA All-Stars (because it's the JSA, and things may get better with Magog gone) Power Girl (not sure if I'll keep this; I have no interest in Generation Lost) R.E.B.E.L.S First Wave Doc Savage The Spirit Fables Hellblazer The Unwritten Authority:The Lost Year Joe the Barbarian Madame Xanadu House of Mystery Astro City (will be interesting to see if it can maintain quality as a monthly) Ex-Machina (winding up soon)
Upcoming: Zatanna, LSH, DCU:Legacies, Return of Bruce Wayne
Action Comics was dropped last August, but Paul Cornell is enough to convince me to check it out again. Authority and Booster Gold were both dropped recently.
Marvel: Official Handbooks
(Marvel is trade only these days, and on rare occasions at that.)
Other: Hellboy/BPRD Atomic Robo Weird World of Jack Staff Lone Ranger Castle Waiting (when it appears) Irredeemable Incorruptible Comic Book Comics (if it's still being published) Green Hornet Green Hornet:Year One (they launched too much too quickly. I'm not sure I'll stick around after these minis and I'm not getting the others) Mouse Guard RASL Tales Designed to Thrizzle Zorro Okko: Cycle of Air Black Terror Project:Superpowers[/QB][/QUOTE]
