Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Dr. Gym'll's Cultural Rarities Your Current Pull List

FEVRE DREAM!?!!

I MUST HAVE THAT!!!!

What he said! It's a major drain on the old wallet; and I don't even have the benefit of a salary yet!

My current pull list? Just Supergirl and the Legion. Like Igee, planning to get JLA 0 and 1, then I'll play it by ear.

I actually got JLA#0 and I'm like "Wha-huh?"

I'll try to read it again but I'm not sure where it was headed except possibly to show what the "timeline" is for the JLA post-Infinite Crisis. We'll see if #1 merits buying #2.

Not a whole lot on my list

I think thats it. I did Marvel from memory, and I suppose its possible I'm missing something. butyeah. I buy way too much >.<

Wow it looks like some of you are keeping mainstream comics going almost single-handedly. My list is pretty small and some titles are sporadic. Some weeks nothing comes out that I buy and I breath a sigh of relief since I don't have to shell out the dough.

Legion of Super-Heroes (natch)
Astonishing X-Men
All-Star Superman
Justice
Love & Rockets (the best non-superhero comic ever!)
Authority (anything, new series looks promising)
Planetary
Eightball (when it comes out *sigh*)
Acme Novelty Library
Optic Nerve
Eternals (it better have a great ending since it's mostly just been build up)
Seven Soldiers
Squadron Supreme/Supreme Power (getting a bit annoyed with the slow pace and grim, mean-spiritedness but it's fairly well written and I like the art)

I'll try to do this from memory:

DC (incl. Vertigo and Wildstorm):
52
Action Comics
Superman
All-Star Superman
Detective Comics
Batman
Superman/Batman
Nightwing
Outsiders
Green Lantern
Aquaman
All-New Atom
Justice
Justice League of America
Shadowpact
Checkmate
Mystery in Space
Tales of the Unexpected
Secret Six
Supergirl/Legion
Trials of Shazam
Fables
Jack of Fables
Hellblazer
Astro City
Ex-Machina
Planetary
Midnighter
Authority

Marvel:
Agents of Atlas
Official Handbooks
Captain America (in trades)

Other:
Hellboy/BPRD
Jack Staff
Lone Ranger
Mouse Guard
Phonogram
Rocketo
John Woo's Seven Brothers
Castle Waiting

(Edit: Added Ex-Machina and Phonogram)

DC:

- Supergirl and the Legion of Superheroes
- Justice Society of America
- Green Lantern Corps

Marvel:

- Ghost Rider

Dynamite Entertainment (yay indy):

- Battlestar Galactica
- Battlestar Galactica: Zarek (mini)
- Witchblade: Shades of Gray (mini)

Thinking of adding more, but I don't know, I will see. I'm just getting back into it all... so time will tell. The Wolverine title looks interesting, also read Supergirl #12 (didn't seem too bad), but I've heard too much bad stuff... eh... who knows maybe the new Brave and the Bold title coming in February...

LSH
All-Star Superman
Hellblazer
Strangers in Paradise
Strangehaven
Stray Bullets
Berlin
and I'm thinking of starting the new JSA.

Plus in trades I try to follow:
Seven Soldiers
Fables
100 Bullets

Added, but then dropped: Wetworks

Added: Criminal, The Spirit, Omega Men, Ant-Man

Dropped: Wolverine

(I still get Wolverine: Origins, which is excellent).

After a few months where I tried to cut back to a it looks like I'm expanding again.

Adding

The Spirit
Shazam: Monster Society of Evil

These are probably the only Superhero books that could make me eat the All-star Superman Hardcover.

plus JSA is back


And because I got the Fables hardcover and loved it, I will be doing the trades (curses foiled again).

Curse management for giving creators i like more assignments.

I'm running into some money problems so I'm going to have to prune my pull list. It was:

Supergirl and the Legion of Super-Heroes
Justice League of America
Justice Society of America
The All-New Atom
Blue Beetle
The Spirit
52

and I was intending to add All-Star Superman, The Brave and the Bold, and The Legion of Super-Heroes in the 31st Century, and possibly Justice League Unlimited.

But now it's going to look more like this:

Supergirl and the Legion of Super-Heroes
The Legion of Super-Heroes in the 31st Century (upcoming)
The All-New Atom (maybe)
Blue Beetle (maybe)
The Spirit (maybe)
Justice Society of America (maybe just until Starman gets sorted out)

Stupid property taxes.

Added or adding:

The Spirit
Shazam:Monster Society of Evil
Brave & The Bold
Dr. Fate one-shots
Immortal Iron Fist
Dino Wars

Ending, ended, or inbetween minis:

Agents of Atlas
Rocketo
Secret Six

So after years an years of being a CBS nomad - In LA you can do that kind of thing, I know I am so spoiled I have finnally decided to settle down and make a pull list for Meltdown on sunset. They are < 1 mile from my work and I have conned some coworkers into walking with me which makes it fun. They limit it to 15 so I had to make some choices.

1. 52 - For a weekly book this has been extremely consistant
2. JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA - this is getting astoundingly good lately
3. RUNAWAYS - on the edge of my seat after last issue
4. ALL STAR SUPERMAN - This has been head and shoulders above everything else in both writing and art
5. SUPERGIRL AND THE LEGION OF THE SUPER-HEROES - This is intricately crafted with incredible character chemistry. I am addicted!
6. X-FACTOR - Solid writing and of course Quicksilver
7. BIRDS OF PREY - Gail Simone is a very talenented writer. Oracle is one of my all time Faves and now Big Barda!
8. ASTONISHING X-MEN - Joss Whedon and John Cassiday! Great character insights and top notch art.
9. CHECKMATE - Super powered espionage! Black Ops! Amanda Waller. This is definitely not a kid's book. It continues to surprise me.
10. MANHUNTER - The grass roots campaign to keep this book alive has been out of control so I am back to reading it. So far I am loving it.
11. SUPERMAN CONFIDENTIAL - This has been a great study on what makes superman a complex character... trust me Singer has no clue how to deal with this character
12. ACTION COMICS - Wow 4 super titles on this list... How did this happen? The super family used to be so boring. This book is being written by Richard Donner right now and you get a feeling it is his response to how Singer messed up
13. NEWUNIVERSAL - I don't have much experience with the New Universe outside of the Exiles arc but it has been intriguing so far
14. INCREDIBLE HULK - Husband's Addition. Very much The incredible Conan since the Planet Hulk started. Interesting, but very macho
15. New X-Men - Husband's Addition. I haven't been into it lately but it is amusing and there are some interesting subplots.

Runners up
-----------
ETERNALS - only 1 issue left in this miniseries
WELCOME TO TRANQUILITY - Not ready to commit yet.
ULTIMATES 2 - only 1 issue left & it isn't out till March
SILENT WAR - This is a mini and it hasn't started yet.
ALL STAR BATGIRL - This wont be out for almost a year
YOUNG AVENGERS - This is on hiatus for another month or so at least

1. 52 - excellent series. I am really enjoying the way in which nearly every part of the DCU is explored.

2. 100 Bullets -great crime series.
3. All Star Superman fantastic art and very inventive and wonderful stories. what's not to like?

4. Checkmate- The best spy comic out, next to Queen & Country.
5. Conan- old school sword and fantasy.
6. Criminal -another crime, noir book. blame my old man. he introduced me to Double Indeminity at an early age.

7.Fables - fantastic series. all the child hood fables brought to life, and it's not always pretty.

8. Invincible- a superhero book with almost as many supporting cast and plot lines as the LSH at full roster.

9. Justice Society of America -two issues in and I am hooked.
10. Legion of Super-Heroes -needs no explanation on this board.
11. Powers- this is the best book that Bendis writes.

12. Red Sonja -bold, wide-screen sword and fantasy adventure. don't let the skimpy outfit and variant covers fool you. This is a classic in the making.

13. Samurai -great art, excellent story. and all the ads are placed in the back after the story!
14. Y The Last Man -an exploration of a world where all the men but one have died. another home run from Vertigo.

Hmmm... here's my growing list.
