ABSOLUTE ALL STAR SUPERMAN HC

got to admit these two together made me laugh a little,

as long as you enjoy them get what you can afford is always better the spending it and not liking it.

I actually did some culling of recent, not for the budget, but because i was in the habit of buying them. if i don't want to read a book the day it comes out there is a good chance its getting dropped... luckly for me i'm easy pleased and love alot of books

They are already doing an Absolute of All Star Supes? Wow, they are really cashing in on that book.

To be fair, people have been clamoring for it to be an Absolute, so they are meeting a demand. I think it will sell pretty good.

I'd like to see Sinestro Corps War & Blackest Night as a set of Absolutes too.

Someone else had it for the Previews Spotlight but I am a team book guy and Legion of Superheroes has been one of my books. I may have been one of the few to like the recent Jim Shooter run but I really enjoyed it. The Paul Levit run could be a solid run or a train wreck. Always tough to go back to a book where you made your mark (see Waid on The Flash) and try to recapture the magic.

Quite a lot for me (yet again) this month, but it's really the collected editions & statues/toys that pump up the $$ on my order.....

I reduced my budget due to a lot of unread books piling up, perhaps about a year worth of reading, assuming I read 3 issues per day.

I read 23 comics today.....

Bold picks were heavily influenced by Bob & John Preview Podcast. I was waiting for the collected Blackest Night, now I can finally read what was so great. Looking forward (or backward) to Shadowhawk and Sam & Twitch. For those not reading Jason Aaron's PunisherMax, this is THE best Puinsher book!! Going to peek at the Avengers to see if they can make it the Avengers again. I wanto see what David Lapham will do with Crossed, he is the perfect heir to Ennis.

I added a couple titles, in bold below, in part because of Bob and John's Previews Interviews and Previews Spotlight.
