Gee wiz, another heavy week. I still have 18 comics from last week to read. I need a light week. I'm going to try to get the Michael Turner variant to Black Panter #18. Storm and the Black Panter get married in the issue. It's a Civil War tie-in. I think Captain America and Iron Man are both going to be at the wedding. I have NOT read Civil War #3 yet, I'm sure the two get into it, but don't spoil it for me please. Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere is taking a long time to finish.

How ya doing, buddy?

As usual, all of the Civil War stuff has me interested. I can't wait to read the new developments. Daredevil 87 is definitely going to be the best book of the week.

On the DC side of things, Batman and 52 should be ok. I'm hoping that Superman remains interesting after Up, Up and Away. Jack of Fables is on my list as well (I have lots of Fables to catch up on though...).

I've got to try to get back into Exiles. The book had a great run, but then I lost interest in it as they dragged the World Tour on and on and on and on.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The book I'm most pumped about is easily Batman #655. Morrison and Kubert on a Batman book? Morrison writing Batman again. For the WIN!

New Avengers (although I hope the guy doing the art from the last issue is gone. It was shit.) and Frontline will also be picked up. Wizard too. Aside from that, it's a slow week.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I think we're definitely getting four of those comics in this house. A few of the others may make it, depending on what's in them.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I also got Ant #7. Didn't know it was coming out this week until I got to the store. Ant #6 came out two or three weeks ago. This has got to be a record for Image, they usually take for ever to get their issues out. 22 books this week. I did manage to get the variant cover to Black Panter #18. I also got the variant cover to Batman #655. It was done by Adam Kubert.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Nothing really appealed much to me this week. Front Line, of course, but I was just filling out a few more just to read. Picked up Amazing Spider-Man and Young Avengers/Runaways too.

I dunno, if I want more for later I might go back and pick up something, but I dunno. Missed Cable and Deadpool last week (they had run out by the time I got there) so I might pick up that, I dunno, a *shrug* week for me. Batman #655 looked neat too.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

You all need to read Daredevil. It's ridiculously good. The best book on the market.

Most amazing jew boots

ASM 334 was a little disappointing. I guess because at this point, I don't really want to see Peter throw down with whoever (I won't spoil it), I want to see him dealing with life in the public eye. although, I guess that's where SSM has me covered.
Frontline 4 was cool. I wish that Embedded lasted longer in the issues. the Speedball story gets better and better each issue.
Black Panther 18 is good. I've never read Black Panther before but I don't think I'd mind picking it up again (unlike She-Hulk, another book I bought only because it was a Civil War tie-in).
Wolverine 44 was pretty cool. I wish Wolverine hadn't been naked the whole time though. this is the second book this week that's showing that Namor has some involvement in Civil War, so I wonder where they're going with this.

How ya doing, buddy?
