John Byrne's Next Men 2
Walking Dead 80
Thanos Imperative: Devastation
Irredeemable 21
Doom Patrol 18 (love that Bumblebee's prominent on the cover!)
Brightest Day 17
Adventure 522
Superboy 3
Jonah Hex 63
I thought long and hard about buying Batman Beyond 1 and Ultimate Captain America 1.
Ended up passing on BB because a glance thru looked like it didn't live up to the preview pages in last month's comics. I'll keep an eye on the reviews.
UCA, I passed up ultimately because of the $3.99 price tag. I LOVE Jason Aaron who writes it, but Marvel's always sure to stamp his stuff with the higher price. Doesn't help that I'm not crazy about the Ultimate line's edgier version of Steve Rogers. The preview page have him insulting his fellow soldiers, and that's just not him in any continuity. I'll keep an eye on reviews and consider the eventual trade if they're very positive.
Still "Lardy" to my friends!

I picked up some stuff earlier in the weeks...already sorted into the main stuff, so I don't remember everything I got. But I went yesterday and grabbed Supergirl Annual 2, and the 2010 Holiday special. The only thing I couldn't find was the Larfleeze special. <Pout> Gonna catch back up on DP soon. Also want to get the first three Superboy issues.
Active LMB character is still Beast Boy.

plus ...
Batman RIP
Batman: Battle for the Cowl
Final Crisis: Legion of Three Worlds HC
at another CBS a friend gave me a gift certificate for for Christmas... I loath this store... it's dirty and has boxes of crap everywhere, and the owner is a d-bag who yelled at my friend on Free Comic Book Day because he didn't hear my friend say thank you... I wanted to use up the whole gift certificate in one shot and not need to go back again...

I'm keeping my pull list emtpied, so this week I got:
current issues of:
BIRDS OF PREY
JL GENERATION LOST
BOOSTER GOLD
SECRET SIX
Since it was such a light week, I scoured the shelves for something else.
I rememebr reading nice comments about AVENGERS ACADEMY. I noticed 5, 6 and 7 on the shelf. Well, crapballs, I sure was behind. TOO behind to try it, I figured.
But then I noticed AVENGERS ACADEMY MUST-HAVE # 1, which apparently reprints issues 1-3 for the low low price of $3.99. JEENYUS, thought I... those Marvel bastards have made a sale!
I'm secretly hoping that I hate it, because if I love it, my shop had no copies of # 4 left.
Side-Note: I'm really j'adoring this MUST-HAVE reprint business, now that I am aware of it. IMO, they should do all their ongoings like this. Every 6th issue or so, do a MUST-HAVE collection of 3 issues. I would probably start buying a LOT more MARVEL if they did this. I think it is a brilliant idea to do these MUST-HAVEs at all. Good for you, Marvel.

I picked up some things that don't come out till next week, and glanced through the Wonder Girl one-shot and Titans.
Adriana Melo heavily changed Lady Zand's appearance. She now looks Indian when she originally had red hair and looked more European, but I like her take on Solstice and the colors used for it.
The art on Titans went from god awful to "AAHHHHHHH!!!!" with Philip Tan filling in for some pages, and Wallace once again shows he's incapable of using consistency, with one panel of Arsenal grinning like a maniac at the thought of Tattooed Man killing Slipknot, then telling Slade he's not a sadistic bastard.

Sharky, I'm interested in your review of Red Robin--I gave up on the title in protest of Damien taking over as Robin but I do love Tim Drake.
