Today I Picked Up (Dec 1)

[NexusOfLight]

As a sibling thread to Today at the Comic Shop, this thread is for us all to come together and talk about what we picked while we were there, and to post our initial reactions to the stories we've read. Not quite detailed enough to warrant a thread in the review board, but still good enough to talk about. There may or may not be spoilers, so read at your own risk. I'll keep updating the title for the following Comic Book Wednesdays to come.

So let's get crackin'. What'd you guys pick up and how'd you like it?

I picked up the new Superboy book among other things. I actually really like it. And in the back it show what's to come and I am very interested.

[NexusOfLight]

Sounds great. Well, among other things, I picked up that Spidey issue. Thought it was pretty cool. Great way to finish off Brand New Day. Had some good laughs. Got inspired by that Flash story. And I'm all set and ready for Big Time.

I also picked up the new JSA.

A LITTLE SPOILER!!!

He better not be crippled or I am going to be pissed!!!!

[NexusOfLight]

That Chaos War was also pretty cool. I like how Herc up an' messed up big time that everyone's reaction was "fool."

[NexusOfLight]

I enjoyed that Chaos War Thor tie in. Pretty epic. And Spider-man is the best issue I've read since--man, I don't know. It was great.

I picked up Birds of Prey. Huntress vs Shiva!

Star Wars: Knight Errant Great new series about Kerra Holt. A young female Jedi living one thousand years before the Clone Wars.

Avengers:Children Crusade. Great story featuring the hunt for the Scarlet Witch.

Titans 25-29. Still haven't read it yet but it promises Dick Grayson vs Deathstroke.

Incredible Hulks. Another fun series featuring the Hulk family vs Hiro Kala.

Ant-Man & The Wasp. Hank Pym teams up with Eric O'Grady to take on AIM.

How're the Hulks doin'? I've been meaning to pick that up for a bit, (since 600 actually) but just haven't.

[Morpheus]

Above all else, it's a fun series. Very much action based lately, but with Pak's witty one-liners that isn't such a major disadvantage.

[NexusOfLight]

Oh snap, Wednesday already. Wonder what I'll pick up today. Wonder if I'll even go today. What's good, ya'll?

Astonishing Thor #1
Avengers #7
Chaos War: Chaos King #1

Superior #2
Conan The Cimmerian #25
Soldier Zero #2

These are the ones that I'm interested in this week.

[NexusOfLight]

Oh snap, Superior? Definitely gonna get that.

[ckal]

Yeah I remember enjoying the first issue, but I don't remember anything about it!

Actually I remember the beginning and the end. Hm..

[NexusOfLight]

Man, this week looks good. I got behind a bit from not goin' last week, so I'm catchin' up. Then I remembered today was Wednesday and I saw Spider-man and a few Chaos War issues and more Shadowland. Yeah, that's me. So what's good?

[Crom-Cruach]

Bought the second arc of the Merlin saga last thursday.

[NexusOfLight]

That sounds awesome. Tell me about it.

And did another week just go by? When'd this happen? A'ight dawgs, post your picks. Oh snap, I think a new Darkness issue comes out today. That warrants a celebration. One which I'll partake in come this weekend or so. And Shadowland looks like it'll finally conclude. I'll be sure to pick up that, but beyond that I think I'm good for new releases. Might pick up a trade or two while I'm there. Maybe finally delve into Hellboy, who knows?

[Morpheus]

I doubt it will be out today, LOL.

[NexusOfLight]

What that Darkness issue? I have hope. I have hope.

[greenlantern555]

I didn't think there were comics today. I thought they come out tomorrow.
