Cancelled Green Arrow, X-Factor, She-Hulk and Birds of Prey. This will also be the last month I order Batman and the Outsiders and Punisher War Journal (unless Remender’s first solo issue blows me away). I’m giving Moon Knight and Ghost Rider one last shot, but I ain’t holding out too much hope.
October Tidings: All the cool Final Crisis one-shots, the almost end of Secret Invasion, more Bucky in Cap, and this little book by the Knaufs…
The first in a series of specials covering the length and breadth of the larger-than-life legend of Captain America, as told by the industry’s leading experts in the field! First up, it’s 1944, and wouldn’t you know it? Them sneaky Nazis have managed to crack the secrets of electro-magnetic physics…yeah, that’s right: apples may fall down in the free world, but schnitzels are falling up in the skies over a mysterious lab in a Polish forest, thanks to a little help from a nearby forced-labor camp. Sure, we could send in the Marines, but why bother when we’ve got Captain America?! But even Cap may be meeting his match against the lab’s sadistic cybernetic commandant. Because everyone knows, the only thing worse than a Nazi is a Robot Nazi!
OMG! How could you NOT want to read this?!?

I too cut X-FACTOR and BIRDS OF PREY, and was none too happy about it. I’m not giving GHOST RIDER one more month, as the write-up for the October issue made me groan in disgust. Oh, and did you notice that October will be the last issue of CHECKMATE?! I put up with Chimera for this?! Grrr. I am excited that Rucka and Trautmann will be telling a tale about Checkmate (and others) in FC RESIST, however. And I’m eager to see if this whole, “make Superman titles into must-read titles” plan with the New Krypton story arc works out. Here’s hopin’!

yeah, against my better judgement i ordered Supergirl.
UGH.

I’m surprised Checkmate lasted as long as it did post Rucka. They probably should have just killed it at 25 and made a clean break. Checkmate without Rucka ain’t no Checkmate

Hey fellow Ennis man, why no Back to Brooklyn? Don’t worry, it’s all scripted by Ennis. Palmiotti just helped come up with the idea. Here is an interview and preview.

That Cap thing looks cool but I’ll wait for the trade I think. Still no Conan? Damn you! Ugh yeah we’ll see how this Superman event goes. I love Johns but the other two…..

you know what? i didn’t see it, but i’ll wait for the trade. also, i think i’m gonna cancel the new Ennis war book from DE and just wait for the trade as well.
