Updated: what I won't be buying (comics for March and April)

well, for the most part, anyway. Actually, I won't be buying anything, but if I have any trade left, I'll still get a few... list behind the cut

(Only Dark Horse has sent up their April solicitations so far, but DC, Marvel and Image should be along in the next week or so).

Dark Horse

Buffy: The Vampire Slayer #12, 13 (actually, I should just buy issue 10 from January, out last week and then just wait for trade... or maybe just trade issues 1 - 9 for volume 1 and 2)

Lobster Johnson: Iron Prometheus Vol.1

Pigeons from Hell #1 (of 4) - new and bizarre from Joe Lansdale

Serenity: Better Days #1 and 2 - new Firefly stuffs from Whedon and crew. Yay


DC

TEEN TITANS: YEAR ONE #3 and 4 - Adrienne's getting this one, and it's awesome

JUSTICE LEAGUE: THE NEW FRONTIER SPECIAL - weeee.

BOOSTER GOLD #7 and 8 - Booster and Beetle, reunited, and it feels so good

SUICIDE SQUAD: RAISE THE FLAG #7 and 8 - I better still have some trade left to finish this off *grumble*

ACTION COMICS #863 - the end of the Legion storyline... hrm

BLUE BEETLE #25 - is it coming to an end? Better not be. It's awesome.
BLUE BEETLE #26 - Spanish Language issue... and Beetle vs. Parasite.. uh, okee.

THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD #11 & 12 - "It's all been leading up to this: Half of the DC Universe vs. Megistus!" weee!

JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA #14 & 15 - I'm actually not sure I'm going to miss this.

JACK KIRBY'S O.M.A.C.: ONE MAN ARMY CORPS HC - Curiousity would kill my pocketbook, were I to still be throwing my pocketbook at curiousity

JLA PRESENTS: AZTEK - THE ULTIMATE MAN TP - heard all about it but never read it... the character is unfathomably ugly, and it died on the stands, but that's before the fanboys went agog over both Grant Morrison and Mark Millar.

CHECKMATE VOL. 3: THE FALL OF THE WALL TP

SUPERGIRL AND THE LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES: THE QUEST FOR COSMIC BOY TP - hey, this collects when I stopped buying the series. Go figure.

JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED #43 - Keith Giffen! Thankfully we always get this for the wee one.

EX MACHINA #35 & 36 - when's this going to end so I can not feel guilty about not buying it.

YOUNG LIARS #1 & 2 - David Lapham doing what David Lapham does best, as opposed to the DC and Marvel stuff he's not been very good at.

WATER BABY - another Minx book meant for teenaged girls ... and me.

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN SC - I have the Hardcover, just need to remember to review it when the Softcover comes out... this is a reminder.

100 BULLETS #89 - By the time BNY is over this will be rounding the corner to its finishline

Things I'd be very tempted to buy were I still a huge DC Universe nerd:
COUNTDOWN TO FINAL CRISIS #4-1 (even if it is a travesty of a series, it's the end and set-up for "Final Crisis)
DC/WILDSTORM: DREAMWAR #1 (DC heroes invading the Wildstorm universe, worked well for Captain Atom, and written by Giffen...)
TITANS #1(the old gang back together, but with art by Ian Churchill, ugh)
BATMAN #676 - (Grant Morrison kills Batman)


Marvel

ULTIMATE HUMAN #3 & 4 (of 4) - might as well wait for trade

ULTIMATE IRON MAN II #4 (of 4) - erm, ditto

ANNIHILATION: CONQUEST #5 & 6 (of 6) - see Suicide Squad...

WWH AFTERSMASH: DAMAGE CONTROL #3 (of 3) - maybe I should read those three Damage Control 4-issue minis that I bought two years ago before lamenting not buying this one first

NOVA #11 & 12 - I think I've dropped this book at this point

X-FACTOR #29 & 30 - thankfully Aden's picking this one up too (but still stuck in crossover madness it would appear)

LOGAN #1 & 2 (of 3) - I haven't been very interested in Wolverine, well, ever, but Brian Vaughan... yeah, okay

X-MEN DIVIDED WE STAND BOOK 1 (of 2) - it's got McKelvie doing Nightcrawler!

AVENGERS: THE INITIATIVE VOL. 1 – BASIC TRAINING TPB - the end of Civil War meant nothing to me, nor did the beginning or middle of Civil War... hey, I'm a DC guy... except, I like Dan Slott, so I'm interested in this... if only marginally.

NEWUNIVERSAL: EVERYTHING WENT WHITE TPB - I also like Warren Ellis...

HULK: PLANET HULK TPB

DAREDEVIL: HELL TO PAY VOL. 2 TPB

Image

TRANSHUMAN #1, 2 (of 4) - I'm worried Jonathan Hickman's going to burn himself out being so damn prolific after the success of his Nightly News series, but the guy's awesome so I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth.

TELLOS GARGANTUA TP - Actually, I'm not very interested in this, but the wife might be...

MADMAN ATOMIC COMICS #9, 10 - still truckin along

SCUD, THE DISPOSABLE ASSASSIN #22, 23 - wonder where GAK left all those Scud books I gave him... I might be wantin' to borrow them back for a spell...

AQUA LEUNG, VOL. 1 OGN - I'm in the air on whether I'd actually buy this one, as it pretty much sounds like Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis.
