Here's what is waiting for me at the LCS:

  • LEGION OF SUPER HEROES #4 - I really think Bendis needs to flesh out a lot of the Legion members in order for this book to work.     
  • METAL MEN #5 (OF 12)  - I'm really enjoying this series.  I hope it becomes an ongoing one, as it's dfferent from a lot of other books out there.
  • AMAZING MARY JANE #5 - This series is growing on me.
  • CAPTAIN MARVEL #15 - While I'm behind on this series, I'll look for the Gwen Stacy Variant (as it also has Carol in her Ms. Marvel attire, which I prefer).    
  • ARCHIE #711 - An easy, harmless time waster.  I still enjoy this take on Archie.

What are you getting?

ATLANTIS ATTACKS #2- Not sure Greg Pak has as good a grasp on the Agents as Jeff Parker did.

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY #2- I'm hoping that I can stick with this run of the Guardians. The last one I stuck with was the DNA run.

NEW MUTANTS #7- I'm not sure about this.

WOLVERINE #1- Never the biggest Wolverine fan but I'm willing to try this.

When does the next issue of RAGNAROK come out? It seems like it’s
been forever since the last issue.

And was SAVAGE SWORD OF CONAN cancelled?

2020 MACHINE MAN #1 - Kind of fun.

VALKYRIE: JANE FOSTER #8 - This book continues to be really enjoyable, and the art is terrific.

FAMILY TREE #4 - I love this book.  It's got a lot of weird ideas but it doesn't try to explain them, it tries to explore them.  Jeff Lemire has written a lot of stuff I really like.

PLUNGE #1 - My pet peeve with modern horror mini-series is in this book - the entire first issue is exposition and the only reveal of the horror is the last page.  Could have just started there.

RED MOTHER #3 - Solid horror comic.

On Ragnarok, Walt tweeted his editor(?) holding a copy of the book a couple of weeks ago so good chance of hitting 3/4. And no issues of Savage Sword have been solicited since #12, so it looks like it's done. I miss the days when Marvel was okay with the notion of actually telling people a book was cancelled. :-(

Anyway:

2020 MACHINE MAN #1 - no interest in the overall 2020 storyline that's going on, but I picked up the Machine Man mini that inspired the whole thing off the rack back in the day, so picking up a Machine Man comic in actual 2020 appealed, all the more so because DeFalco is involved (I think on a back-up featuring the mini-series version but I don't know for sure).

AMAZING MARY JANE #5 - conclusion of the first story; been enjoying this so far

CAPTAIN AMERICA #19 - really hope he gets his suit back

DAREDEVIL #18 - waiting for him to get his suit back, too...

VAMPIRELLA #8 - still going...

FIVE YEARS #8 - still going...

I forgot to mention Superman Smashes The Klan #3. By the way, I dropped New Mutants, I gave it 7 issues so I think I was fair. Hickman seems to want for write a Roberto DaCosta book but he writes him as such an unlikable character.

My copy of AIRBOY #51 which was a crowd-funding production arrived. Got
the variant Steranko cover which is BEYOND gorgeous! By Chuck Dixon, and
picks up where #50 left off decades ago. I think it was successful enough that
#52 may be done.

Bob, did you get it through the campaign? If so, did you get any notification when it shipped? I've been keeping an eye out since he said he was shipping copies, and I'm trying to figure out if I'm wasting my time. :-) (And #52 was a stretch goal they reached, so it'll happen at some point. Might be a bit based on #51's production time, though.)
