You know the drill... Most anticipated title of the week...
For me, it's a five-way tie between Green Lantern Corps #15 (I'm really into the Sinestro Corps War), Immortal Iron Fist #8, Spirit #9, Walking Dead #40, and X-Men #202 (loved the last issue - which is saying a lot for me for an X-Men book - sorry, Ron).

Walking Dead and Invincible have become water cooler comics in my world. Anytime there is a new issue of either, it's an exciting time.

JSA Classified #29 (Arvid Nelson handling DCU characters? YES!) but mostly the next installment of Green Arrow Year One, best comic from DC at hte moment.

Astonishing X-Men, Iron Fist....and I gotta admit...I'm curious about Halo.

It's a toss up between Batman and The Walking Dead. I have recently come back to comics after a financial-induced hiatus, and I'm needing to catch up. Dead isn't holding my attention like it used to, but it was one of the first comics I started on. Batman is always fun, no matter the arc.

Astonishing X-Men is indeed the Brigadoon of modern comics.

And Iron Fist. Because I am actually the Iron Fist.

Curiously Halo. And actually I'm also kind of curious as to what the next Tbolts arc is.

Don't be surprised if Penance turns, breaks the 4th wall, and says, "This one's for you, Louis!" Because you have to be the last person on earth buying Thunderbolts. ;)

I'd have to say Halo, just because it seems promising, but I'll probably wait for a trade, so Green Arrow.

Maleev is really the only reason to pick that up, I think. Halo storyline isn't too great. At least it's not a BSG comic, I guess.
Amazing Spidey 543. Hell Yayah.
Iron Man 21. The current Iron Man run is the 90's suspense/action movie that we never got.

Did you see next week's shipping list? Unless my widget is missing some titles, it looks like the lightest week ever. I have three books, and two of them have Countdown in the title.

im still on the Tbolt train, although probably not much longer. i haven't hated it like you guys, but it hasn't wowed me yet either.
Im stoked for Astonishing and adjectiveless X-men, this marauders thing is bringing back warm mutant filled memories. GA year one is my most anticipated on the DC front

I think I deserve a prize for being the last reader. Maybe a shirt that says “I <3 Penance” with the heart inside some iron maiden contraption.

I was also in disbelief when I looked at Diamond's shipping list for next week. Lite as a feather. This week's another story, however.

I have a tie between Walking Dead and Starlord.

Oh and this also marks the first week of myself being caught up with Invincible. I'm incredibly sad. I'm going to try these single issues, but I have a feeling I'm going to hate it.
That book moves waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too fast to be read monthly. Waaaaay too fast.
Walking Dead is surprisingly great in monthlies. Kirkman is a ****ing chameleon.

The fact Starlord is prefaced with the word, "Annihilation" causes me to gloss right over it in shipping lists. I wiil be picking up issue #2 now.

Like the widget, Paper, but I usually go to Diamond to view the shipping lists - found here (http://www.diamondcomics.com/public/default.asp?t=2&m=1&c=3&s=7).

As ACBG said, you have to take the Diamond list with a grain of salt until Tuesday night. I've been led astray by a faulty shipping list plenty of times.
