Most Anticipated Title For This Week - 4/25/07

[iSteve]

The shipping list is out (http://www.ifanboy.com/shipping.html). What comic title are you most looking forward to this week?

My top pick is Powers #24, closely followed by Fallen Son Death of Captain America Avengers.

Looks like another week of abundance.

[kwok_talk]

Probably either Daredevil or the Runaways trade.

[jerome]

i'm not getting it, but i want that amazing spider-man omnibus more than anything coming out this week.

[fred]

I only have 6 books - holy shit

[paper]

Light week for me.

Most looking forward to JSA #5.

Oh, and that Nightwing annual from last week, if I can find it.

[acomicbookgirl]

I only have 6 books - holy shit

Shit! The sky must be falling...

[acomicbookgirl]

According to this I got 10 but I know for the fact that the Strange Girl trade is coming in this week.. :) I'm looking forward to Amazons Attack #1 and 52. Its almost ending.. I don't want it to end..

[iSteve]

I only have 6 books - holy shit

23 for me. I'm a man of man interests, comic-speaking.

[fred]

it's the least I've had in probably 9-12 months

[iSteve]

it's the least I've had in probably 9-12 months

Next week only 16.

[paper]

23 for me. I'm a man of man interests, comic-speaking.

23? Holy god.

That's a higher number of books than years I've been on this earth.

[mikegraham6]

is this issue of action comics written by johns and donner? cause if so, then thats my most anticipated, but other than that, daredevil will ALWAYS be my pick

[acomicbookgirl]

23 for me. I'm a man of man interests, comic-speaking.


shit! that's what I get in 2 weeks.. My week is bigger than usual.. Unlike last week.. Least there's some Marvel in the stash..

[acomicbookgirl]

Next week only 16.

Only 16?!:rolleyes:

[kwok_talk]

Next week only 16.

Your children are still getting 3 meals a day, right? ;)

[fred]

mine are getting 4 this week

[jo-relrollins]

this is the first week ever where i can say i have none!!!(at least none from my pull list) But i'm gonna pick up some trades and 52 and JSA.

[paper]

JSA belongs on everyone's pull list. It's grrrrrrrrrrrreat!

[pv_2]

Toss up between Fallen Son and JSA.

[jgg0610]

It's a toss up between Daredevil and JSA

[hometeam790]

Definitely JSA for me. Fallen Son would be second, but I'm looking foward to JSA, especially now since I read the JLA preceding it. Should be pretty good. I'm excited.

[the-screw-on-aaron]

The book I'm looking forward most to reading is the RUNAWAYS VOL 7 LIVE FAST DIGEST TP
But the single issue this week I'm looking for to the most is difficult but probably 52. Considering there is only two issues left I'm hoping they're packing quite a punch! Other than that in second is actually Wolverine, I can see where Lobe is going with this book and I think it's going to be really interesting.

Six books for me this week too!:eek: What's happening to the world we need more comic books! So far no cuts but next week unfortunately lots of cuts:( its all necessary though and I have no regrets whatsoever:)

[paper]

Can anyone tell me anything about JSA Classified? I hear it mentioned as part of trades and such, but I don't know anything about the track record of the writing quality.

There's one coming out this week by Tony Bedard (???) and Dennis Calero (X-Factor). It focuses on Alan Scott.

[six-gun]

I'm super-psyched for Fallen Son after seeing the preview pages on CBR and this new, 70's era Astro City has been great, but Daredevil is my most looked foward to book this week by far, I just can't wait to see what Brubaker does on his first, real arc (Devil Inside and Out and Devil Takes a Ride were cleaning up Bendis' run, making it possible for Brubaker to tell the stories that he wanted to tell, not the ones seemingly forced upon him by Bendis)

[kwok_talk]

Is JSA in the middle of an arc now? Or could I just jump on. I'm kind of curious with all the talk everyone's had about it.

[paper]

This issue of JSA is more of a continuation of JLA than anything else.

The past 4 issues set up the new, massive, team. But I think you'd be fine to jump on if you're interested in the Lightning Saga, which started in last week's JLA.

[fred]

I also think that this would be a relatively good place to jump on to jsa.

I'm not the best to vouch for it though because I've read them all and still find myself confused. It doesn't matter though - it's that cool.

[paper]

This is the series where a female neo-nazi speedster runs through a kid (check out the podcast for issue #3).

Yet it's a fun book. It must be seen to be believed.

[fred]

I can't explain it either. It's just really cool

[alexg]

Yeah, I think this is a good jumping on point--Probably won't be any more confused to the characters than the rest of us. Besides, I'm sure folks here on the board can fill in backstory.

JSA and Checkmate are pretty much the DC books I look forward to the most.

[kwok_talk]

Not to sound cynical, but it sounds weird that everyone is confused by the book yet still thinks it’s great. It’s a light week, so I’ll still try it out though.

[mister-s]

I'll break the trend with Daredevil. Who knows what Brubaker has got cooking next...

[comhcinc]

this is one of those EH? weeks for me. might not even buy any this week

[hometeam790]

Personally, I've never been confused by the amount of characters in JSA. I just really like it. The whole leagacy aspect of it and them trying to make better heroes just made me interested in it, and damn, that first storyline was great. I'm hoping The Lightning Saga is just as good.

[404error]

I'm most excited for the next fallen son. Thought the first one was good.

[r0blaw]

This isn't a thrilling week for me. The stuff I want to read most is all on Mister S' pull this week. In my pull I would go with Exterminators or maybe even the Star Trek book.

[mister-s]

Dude, Exterminators! That book is slowly climbing up my priority list...

[hillary-clinton]

Week 51!

Although I do kind of feel like the 52 conclusion thunder was quelched by the countdown marketing blitz.

I was looking forward to a sensation of loss after 52. I used to dream about a surprise week 53 issue.

My dog is dying and I'm not ready for a new puppy yet.

If I were you, I'd worry more about the hubby. He's been going on an on about the "campaign tail", whatever that means.

That's the last of this kind of thing. We went through enough thread derailment with Fred's Bill Clinton persona.

I'm not confused. Confused is the wrong word, because it's not frustrating. I'm just not familiar with all of the characters, but I'm enjoying learning about them. It's my second favorite DC book, right after Robin.

Oh ok. Thanks for the clarification. I thought everyone had no idea what was going on, which seemed weird.

[richardnilsson]

I'm really looking forward to JSA #5 too.

However my most anticipated book of the week is Justice #11. Holy skyhooks that book is good!

[marshallg]

I'm not really sure why, but I'm really looking forward to Outsiders Annual #1. Maybe it's the resurgence of the Annual.

[alexg]

I'm not really sure why, but I'm really looking forward to Outsiders Annual #1. Maybe it's the resurgence of the Annual.

Has Outsiders been good? I'm curious because of the impending "Check-Out" crossover...but haven't really been a Winnick fan of late--just me.

[conorkilpatrick]

It has been "okay". Not great... but not bad, either.

[alexg]

It has been "okay". Not great... but not bad, either.

Not a stunning endorsement....guess I'll wait for the crossover to start before dipping into Outsider issues. Nightwing Annual got me more interested in Nightwing as a character tho--seems like there are no good books with him right now tho.

[humphrey-lee]

Yay! I don't get comics this week! Well, I do, but not until Friday when I have peeps from home bring them to me. And I'm all jacked up about the new WALKING DEAD and Carey's GOD SAVE THE QUEEN hardcover OGN too. They'll make for good post-con reading when I get finally get my hands on them.

[kwok_talk]

My LCS had a sale this week where if you bought one trade of Fables, Walking Dead or Runaways, you could get another free. Ugh...that hurt my wallet.

Hoo boy--what did you wind up with?

[kwok_talk]

I only ended up getting the 3rd & 4th volumes of Fables. I already have the Runaways trades and am waiting for TWD to come out in hardback. I totally contemplated getting completely caught up with Fables and getting volumes 3-8, but just couldn’t bring myself to spend that much (I already had a bit floppy-wise)

taht is a great way to get people on these amazing titles, plus they are like crack, they should do stuff like that more often

[alexg]

Ok, Jeph Loeb wrote two of the 8 books I bought this week and both were pretty much a let down. Not terrible, but uhmm...not that good.

Wolverine--this arc pretty much Blows
Fallen Son--left me thinking...uhmm...huh?

I'm actually done with my books and reviews and I got hung up on one of the stupid things in Fallen Son. More to come......

[alexg]

Oh man, I'm looking forward to that ...I'm sure you'll express what's going on with Fallen Son a lot better than I could.

[fred]

thank you. I hope it doesn't let you down.
