• Animal Man Annual # 1
• Batman Annual # 1
• Ravagers # 1: Bought in a discount bundle package for the new new 52. Howard Mackie is writing.
• Superman Family Adventures # 1: Aw yeah! New Art Baltazar!
• Next Men Aftermath # 43: Turn your membership in at the door if you are not buying this. I cheated and read the 8 page preview. Must get to comic shop when it opens.
• Star Trek The Next Generation and Doctor Who: Assimilation # 1: Figure I would give this a try. Would have been cooler with the original Trek crew.
• Kick Ass 2 Hardcover: Enjoyed the sickness of the first series, I love JRJr. and Millar reads better in trade.
• Rachel Rising # 8: Really underrated book by Terry Moore.
• Snarked # 8: Just a fun book all around. Roger Langridge is becoming a new favorite!

BATMAN ANNUAL #1- I have a high bar for Batman now. This needs to meet that.

BATMAN BEYOND UNLIMITED #4- While never touching the show, this is great every month.

RAVAGERS #1- Worth a shot

SUPERMAN FAMILY ADVENTURES #1- Looks like fun

YOUNG JUSTICE #16- Believe it or not, one of the better DC reads every month.

NEXT MEN AFTERMATH #43- My thanks to IDW for allowing me to get a JB fix more than once a month!

Adam,

Are you checking out the IDW reprints of the original TMNT?

Here's what awaits me at the LCS:

• NEXT MEN AFTERMATH #43         
• AMAZING SPIDER-MAN ANNUAL #39        
• HULK SMASH AVENGERS #5 (OF 5)
• ULTIMATE COMICS ULTIMATES #11          

And from last week:

• FLASH #9
• SUPERMAN #9
• TEEN TITANS #9
• AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #686
• SECRET AVENGERS #27 AVX
• ULTIMATE COMICS X-MEN #12
• HULK SMASH AVENGERS #4 (OF 5)

Not sure of the specifics but stores normally get them on Tuesdays now but can't put them out until Wednesday. I assume (please anyone correct me if I'm wrong) that if there is still a holiday delay it allows comics to come in on Wednesday. My LCS is closed on Thursdays so I always had to wait two days.   

LCS:

Angel & Faith #10
Next Men #43 (naturally)
America's Got Powers #2 (#1 didn't do enough for me to warrant an ongoing, but a six issue mini?  What the heck.)
FF #18 (flipping through #606 got me to change my mind and stick around at least to the end of the Hickman run)

Mail order:  BPRD, Hawken #4, Game of Thrones #8, glamourpuss #25, Rachel Rising #8 and Rasl #14.

Adam,

My LCS still has a copy but I don't think that the art looks as good in color. My rule is that if I browse a comic in consecutive weeks and don't pick it up, I usually leave it on the rack. I love what IDW is doing with the Turtles though. I'm thinking that I should have bought the series that you read. I've heard good things.

Here's my take on what I bought...

BATMAN ANNUAL #1- I'm not sure that I like the origin of the New 52 Mr. Freeze. It's super dark and I feel like Snyder did it already with James Gordon.

BATMAN BEYOND UNLIMITED #4- Great stuff. I like the variety of stories and any time you give me Norm Breyfogle art, I'm happy.

RAVAGERS #1- Not bad. Not sure that Rose Wilson is going to be rehabilitated the way that I thought she was.

SUPERMAN FAMILY ADVENTURES #1- Great funny stuff!

YOUNG JUSTICE #16- A story about sidekicks and their mentors, this is a good comic!

NEXT MEN AFTERMATH #43- Another great issue, I'm pumped for next month!
