^I also have no idea what # Adventure is on anymore. I probably will never really.  Originally posted by DrakeB3004:
Just read the "Mighty Crusaders" special - waste of money and time. I hadn't picked up any of the other materials that had come before, but as a way to jump into the new Archie characters, it really falls short. The plot to get them together to form a team is horribly contrived and happens way too quickly. There are a few cameos from other DC characters just to remind us where we are, but it still doesn't feel like the DCU. After this special I don't think I can even pick one on the team that I like or find intriguing. In fact several of them are simply unlikable to me.
I'll have to pass on the series. This was enough to make sure I didn't get this. Appreciate the warning, Drake!

If it continues in this vein then the next five weeks are going to be very good indeed.

Also, I saw you're collecting 'Codebreakers', a series I'm not familiar with. You should definitely review it somewhere! (New thread, 'Any recommendations?' thread if its a good one or 'Random Review Corner').

It was a very good ending I thought as well. Not "nice", but fitting.
Active LMB character is still Beast Boy.

Well, I finally put in a huge order today at Instock Trades based on various recommendations I've gotten from LWers and some trades I've wanted for myself. (Also the first time I used the website!)
Unfortunately there was no freebie trade I could get and Project Superpowers half-off didn't feel like much of a deal at $9.99 (so I eliminated it).
I got:
Scalped vol. 5
Scalped vol. 6
Ghost Rider: Hell Bent Heaven Bound (Jason Aaron run)
Hellboy: Seeds of Destruction (vol. 1)
Hellboy: Wake the Devil (vo. 2)
SECRET HISTORY OMNIBUS HC W/ DUST JACKET - FC recommendation that kicked it all off
Cairo TPB (Vertigo)
COMPLETE DICK TRACY VOL 1 HC
All in all, a pretty big order that should keep me satisfied for a few months with my ongoings and plans to reread the entire Silver Age Iron Man run. I will be doing a lot of comic book reading! (Between changing diapers that is)

I also put in a TPB order a couple days ago, but not to In-Stock Trades, which I've also used (and highly recommend). After cross-checking eBay and IST for prices, I bought a batch from another trusted online source mycomicshop.com. I chose this site because the going prices on eBay and IST were usually more than what I saw for the particular items I wanted this go-round. I'm on their mailing list, so I got an additional 10% off most of these, and had the option of buying some that were VF condition for lower than Mint or Near Mint prices. Mostly, I don't care if they're VF because that's still really nice condition.
I ordered:
Batman Ego and Other Tales TPB NM $9.00
Fables TPB Vol 4 NM $10.80
Ghost Rider Trials and Tribulations TPB NM $7.20
Ghost Riders Heaven's on Fire TPB VF $8.64
Jonah Hex Face Full of Violence TPB NM $6.30
Spirit HC Vol 1 VF $12.00
Spirit HC Vol 2 NM $15.00
All are substantially below cover price and should scratch some itches I have! The Ghost Rider trades will complete the latter two of the four Aaron volumes (which Cobie has bought on my recommendation). Three Darwyn Cooke books, my long-awaited first colume of Jonah Hex and the next Fables trade (along with Cooke, my latest obsession!) round it out.
Still "Lardy" to my friends!

I completely forgot about Batman: Ego! :kickownhead: Lardy, you really got some damn good deals there! You're like the master at finding the best places to order trades! Can't wait for you to read these and review them! All of my purchases were based on LW recommendations: Lardy, FC, CJ, Lancerealm, Prof and Miner's to be exact. (Any LWer worth his salt should be able to tell who recommended what ). Cool we just both put a big order in--great minds and all that!

The cover pices on the Spirit HCs are $24.99 apiece! Jonah Hex: FFoV retails for $12.99. Batman: Ego TPB retails for $17.99. The Ghost Rider trades are $12.99 and $16.99 respectively. And Fables Vol. 4 retails for $17.95. I paid $68.94 total for what would've cost me $128.89 retail, plus, I dunno, at least 10 bucks tax? That's about a 50% savings, minimum! (Neither IST nor mcs charge shipping on orders of at least $50) It pays to shop around, folks! (or even better have a well-stocked local library)

In my case it's because I'm getting an extra paycheck in June, due to the wonders of bi-weekly payroll! I'm curious about this Secret History. I saw FC's post, also, and am curious if it's up our alley. I know you'll report back!

Worlds Finest #201 I think it is. Supes and Hal team up in a contest rigged by Dr. Fate.
Booster Gold- 32 and 33. I'll give it one more issue. Art is great, story...eh. I'm not into the bwaahaha as much anymore.
JSA #7- Hate that Damage is gone as a character. I may be one of the few people that bought his run all those years back.
Latest Warlord...haven't read it yet.
Couple more but I can't remember what.
Damn you, you kids! Get off my lawn or I'm callin' tha cops!
Something pithy!

Wow, I haven't thought about Damage in years. It was never my favourite book, but I liked it. Originally posted by Dev Em: Originally posted by Sarcasm Kid:

ARGH!! So frustrating! I want to know more, but I haven't even got Villains United yet. The preview for this issue really got my attention and I just reread the BoP/SS crossover, and I want more! Hopefully I'll have the TPBs in hand by Friday.
