They were both excited for both.
Active LMB character is still Beast Boy.

In this order of enjoyment:
Wolverine and the X-Men #17.
I DEMAND ALLRED DRAW WOLVERINE AND THE X-MEN ALWAYS!!! This was one of the best comics I've ever read. yes *ever*. It was a day in the life of dupe, reminded me of a Buffy episode.
I giggled profusely, and throughout! Its rare a comic elicits an emotional outburst from me while I'm reading it.
The only thing I absolutely hated about the issue was ... next months cover. ha! It had Craplocks the Pheonix on it. boo! Issue #17 was a welcome and much needed departure from the ... just plain boring shit show of the A vs. X event.
New Deadwardians #7 of 8. (sadly)
Shit just got real. and then ... there's a twist ...and then shit got more real. Best issue of the bunch. Its really got going now. I wish I got it as a trade though so I could read the mystery all at once. 8 issues just isn't enough.
Batman Incorporated #0
Frazier Irving can get me to buy anything. The story was quite nice too.
Ozymandius #3 (was good, the art made it, long fight scene seemed to drag, no real new info beyond the original Watchmen series. I'm enjoying the perspective of the smartest man in the world.)

I am really enjoying comic books a lot more since I hacked my titles in half. Comics are good again! and something I do to enjoy rather than ... watch my favorite characters be butchered. literally and metaphorically.
Ozymandius ... is on the border though, without the art it would be a *no get* also since its a short term book I can commit. Part of the appeal is just the coolness of the character.

I also grabbed Stumptown v2 #1 but haven't read it yet.
FYI, Debris is one of the coolest series of all time. I'm loving the hell out of it! The artwork and coloring is possibly the single best delivery in 2012.
And Dancer has been terrific! Fantastic high paced crime / spy / thriller! It's a rare series where the action is so well written and drawn that I can actually admire every panel.
Love both of these minis.

My problem was I got some of those issues but not all of them. I couldn't for the life of me find #1 after checking like three CBS when it came out. Some of the comic book stores didn't even know what I was talking about. I also missed #4. I did like what I read though. I never took the time to hunt those issues down. Stumptown is exactly the Greg Rucka series I want to be reading. Crime / detective / strong female lead / rural / noir.

I got v1 fairly cheap (basically cover price including shipping) in an eBay lot last year after hearing good things about it and knowing it had all those things going for it that you mentioned would automatically appeal. I think all or most of the issues in the lot were 2nd printing, but I never really care about that.
The art and story were engaging. It's maybe not really "noir" so much, though...I'd say it's more of a realistic take on what a modern private eye's cases and lifestyle might really be like. The female lead Dex is very down-to-earth and nothing like a 'Modesty Blaise'-type at all. Also, the twists are more natural, instead of being in there for optimum shock value. I'd compare it more in style and tone to the excellent Boom! series The Rinse, which both of us enjoyed.
I also liked how the sense of setting was so well-done. Rucka sets it in his hometown of Portland and artist Southworth uses extensive reference (as shown in the back text pages) to make it authentic.
Anyhow, I believe there's a trade out there, depending on how many issues of the four you're missing. Also, eBay and mycomicsshop.com (especially the latter!) are good places to find individual issues.

I looked and the website I mentioned has every issue in stock . I'd say that if you already have #2, you're in good shape. I HIGHLY recommend this site!

If you spend fifty bucks, shipping's free. Plus, if you subscribe to their newsletter, they have weekly passwords that give you an extra 10% discount on certain groupings (ex: DC titles A-L, westerns, horror, etc.). The coolest thing about the site is that they really don't seem to gouge you! You can get trades and a lot of back issues already discounted off the cover price! (And no, I don't own stock in the company!  )

(And no, I don't own stock in the company! )Yeah, Lone Star Comics rocks... they were the first site I used for my subscription service before I found DCBS. I liked that they would combine sub and back-issue order shipments. I still get their newsletter, even though I haven't ordered from them in awhile. Great bunch of guys.

Well, my money for entertainment went for other things this week, but I did salvage 5 bucks for the First Blood Bluray.
Stallone is kind of like a comic character.
Active LMB character is still Beast Boy.
