SQUADRON SUPREME 2 - Looks like things are starting to happen. I hope this series does well.
ANNIHILATION: NOVA 1 - Richard Rider is one of my favorites. Not too keen on the new costume. It doesn't look anything like my Bowen!
WOLVERINE: ORIGINS 1 - Because of Steve Dillon. But Wolvie looks like Bullseye in a different costume.
SPIDERWOMAN 5 - The art looks like animation cels. Could be a cool cartoon.
NEW AVENGERS 18 - Not yet read
SENSATIONAL SPIDEY 25 - Freaky art.
LITTLE LULU tpb LUCKY LULU - I love Lulu! (don't tell my wife.)
CRY YOURSELF TO SLEEP by JEREMY TINDER - Mini comic size, square bound and pretty neat. By Top Shelf.
back issue purchase: JOURNEY INTO UNKNOWN WORLDS 29 - I love this stuff!

Seems rather fitting to use my 1,000th post to discuss this week's comic purchases, so here goes:
Justice #5 -- Read this one over lunch . . . WOW! An astounding follow-up to issue #4, and while issue #4 brought me down to the true depths as a comic reader, issue #5 was a solid one-two punch that brought with it every ounce of redemption that was ever found in the best two-part cliffhanger issues from the golden- and silver-age. Did I mention "Wow"?
Superman #651 (Up, Up, and Away! Part 3) -- Haven't read this one yet, but I'm looking forward to it . . . old-school comicky-goodness given new life by being written by the kewlest of today's kewl writers (who ARE thankfully very good writers, despite being kewl).
[Please hold off on the congrats on my 1,000th post, BTW -- let's keep this thread on-topic if possible.]

Hey, stop it with the 'kewl/cool' bashing :) !
Cool can be good ! Don't you any Fonzie spirit left in you ?
Who exactly made that cool word sound so un-kewl ?
Life's unfair if cool words are not cool anymore.

In the interest of keeping Infinite Crisis related material contained to the weekly list, here's a question. After looking at the two covers below, does anyone get the feeling that we won't actually see the battles on the covers? I'm thinking that we'll see the start, and then we'll get a 'to be continued in 52' at the end.

still not a command i can see captain america giving if there's a remote chance they can still be alive and/or saved. not like it hasn't been done before with hand assassins. one of the people that has did so just in the past year and is his team mate.
nick fury, sharon, iron man, usagent, ultimate cap, sure. i could even see him not countermanding that order if sharon or nick gave it. but, it's still not an order i could recognize him actually giving. it'd be more in character for him to tell the agents to retreat and he'd handle it himself. obviously brubaker and i have very different views on the basic nature of captain america and bucky.

I've been buying the Perez covers for Infinite Crisis, but my weakness for all things Green Lantern may make me buy the Jim Lee cover as well. Buying multiple covers is something I usually avoid like the plague so a tip of the hat to DC for creating two kick butt covers.

I thumbed through Wolverine: Origins tonight, but put it back on the shelf. Is it just me, or does Steve Dillon make Wolverine-in-costume look like a tool?
*********
OK, what exactly does that mean? I'm not hip or "kewl" by any means, but most slang makes sense to me. I don't see any context to this. What does looking like a tool mean?

Tool is a vaguely phallic derogatory term, similar to "dork," but having a more hostile connotation. Thus, it varies in usage from a nerd-like intent, all the way to "asshole."
Examples:
"Did you see that? The usher wouldn't let me back in without a stub. What a tool!"
or
"Check out the guy sporting a mullet. What a tool."

I like the more military like aspect to Captain America these days (and Ultimate Captain America). There was a time where he started giving too many cliched speeches about how man can never be stopped, only to get his ass handed to him anyway (by Thanos or the like). Or so much whining and handwringing about "Will the country live up to the Dream, what should I do..." I like him to be a bit harder edged and action orientated without going too far. Captain American shouldn't whine constantly and he shouldn't always be giving speeches, in my book
