Listed here, for discussion purposes, is a list of the comics to be released in March 2004 that I have pre-ordered.
My monthly budget is currently $80, post 15% discount. So, these are the books I deemed most worthy of my dollar. Any disagreements?
It is worth noting that my order is a little smaller that usual for two reasons this month. One is that the Peanuts book eats up most of the budget. Second, as this is the first month that I will be buying my comics with the money I make as a stringer for the paper, I was trepedatious about overestimating my income...
Dark Horse Comics
The Month #1
DC Comics
DC: New Frontier #3
Gotham Central #17
HERO #14
Plastic Man #4

I'll agree. I probably would have skipped this had Byrne been inking himself. After all, Claremont has never done much for me outside of those golden years on the X-Men with Byrne. I am actually quite intrigued to see what Ordway does with Byrne. Given Ordway's participation, I now figure I would have bitten regardless of who was writing.

Truely. I can now only antipcate the great wave of sadness, the swirling churning vortex of hopelessness and despair, that will surely wash over me when finally Moore drops the final curtain on the wonderful ABC line. But for ABC, I might have lost my interest in comics altogether....

The retail before shipping was $89.16, Duke. There were a number of specials at above the usual 35% discount-- Negation War, the Ruse and El Cazador specials, Avengers/Tbolts 1+2,and the two JLA issues were all 50% off.
