exactly BT.....oh and by the way, THE SWAP IS ON  

.... JLA CLassified (I miss sue *little tear* John needs to write an arc from the sattelite era so we can have more Sue Dibbers)  and last of all is New Thunderbolts. 

Here's a Rate Tate review (our favorite kind, yes?) for Thunderbolts #5

And who *hasn't* bought JLA Classified #4 yet?

I like the new Green Arrow art and I think Winnick is improving as GA writer.  Good luck selling that.


2 weeks on the shelf and I've sold 3 issues total.....YAY, only 27 to looks like this issue is gonna be in the quarter bin instead of the backissue rack

I'm usually not disrespectfull towards artists but on this I am very opinionated.  you screw up Ollie you deal with me.  And Fowlers art is good.....if you are drawing plastic man.  Unfortunately it doesn't fit the book in the slightest with his faces that are terrible and drawing mia dressing like a slut.  she's been dressing like a tomboy for the longest time and suddenly she's dressing in a pink cutoff shirt?  She stopped being a whore after issue 14.  Ok enough of my ranting but all things GA get rants from me.  (It's depressing how once the writing has finally gotten good and he's finally gotten into a groove with the character that the art kills it.  (Although Geoff and Chris Gage have been writing him better lately) 

And back on the subject I've got 5 more people.  we have runaways, Aquaman, Space Ghost, Stormbreaker, and Cable & Deadpool.  Reviews from people should start coming in soon and I hope to convince people to join the board to post their impressions but if not I'll just post what they tell me to.  Almost out of issues I am

*bumping sucks*

Got 2 more with it and they would be Birds of Prey and JLA Classified: ICBINTJL

Plus I'm on reorder mode.  My first sell-out of the book to date.  thanks guys......Now if everyone could just buy 10 issues of green arrow from me I might be able to keep it in the backissue rack instead of the quarter bin

I think Chris deserves props for promoting DP in his store.

There are those who will say that is simply his job ( and rightly so ), but prejudice against JB's work in some corners is unsurpassed. There was a retailer on Millarworld who would not stock DP because of how he felt about JB. There's another character on Newsarama who will throw a store celebration if he hears about DP cancellation.

We need more guys like Chris on our side !

No one bite my head off, but to be fair to Chris's customers, Chris maybe you should hold off on any more swaps until the ones you've named already have been taken up.

Still outstanding:

The New Thunderbolts  by Busiek, Nicieza, Grummet

2 X JLA Classified : I Can't Belive it's Not the Justice League - by  DeMatties, Giffen and that guy who does the funny faces ;) 

Birds of Prey - by Gail , 'nuff said!

Aquaman - by Arcudi, and to-die-for art by Gleason

Space Ghost  - Alex Ross covers

Stormbreaker - a new Beta Ray Bill mini

Cable & Deadpool -  this one has a strong following

These are terrific comics, guys. No one's going to be losing anything by giving them a try.

In addition to Invincible, I'll take Cable & Deadpool. Yes I am a closet Liefeld lover.

I'll try JLA Classified.  This is written by Grant Morrison, is it not?

Issue #2 (or something) has "The JLA of the future, today" and some robots dressed up like the classic JLA?

There's still a big stack of these at my LCS... I think I can still start with #1.

"2 X JLA Classified : I Can't Belive it's Not the Justice League - by  DeMatties, Giffen and that guy who does the funny faces."

Oh wait... this is referring to issue four of this series, then:

http://www.dccomics.com/comics/?cm=2659

Hmmm....  Looks like picking up the three Grant Morrison issues doesn't score any points for the Doom Patrol....  But if I buy and review issue 4, some other guy will buy DP and review it?  Deal!  Whoever is swapping with me, I suggest starting with issue #9.
