Thank you for submitting your pull list to Austin Books. Here is what we show on your list:

Item: DR HORRIBLE ONE ... more(+)

Thank you for submitting your pull list to Austin Books. Here is what we show on your list:

Item: DR HORRIBLE ONE SHOT (OSW), Looking forward to this, I only recently stumbled upon the wonderfulness that is Dr. Horrible!

Item: ADVENTURE COMICS #507 VAR ED (BLACKEST NIGHT) 1:10 COVER PRICE FREE RING, Looking forward to this as well, it seems that some sort of major plot point is going to drop...can it be bigger than last week's Green Lantern Corps ending though?!?

Item: BATMAN STREETS OF GOTHAM #6, Of all the re-launched Bat-titles THIS one I can't ever pull out of the pack when they cross my mind. I'd love to see it morph into a Huntress/Manhunter title to be honest.

Item: BRAVE AND THE BOLD #29, This has been a pretty cool done in one ride! Starting to be a book I really look forward to...and that art is AWESOME!

Item: FLASH REBIRTH #5 (OF 6) VAR ED 1:25, Man, I was excited about this BUT the delays have killed it for me...plus I hate that the perfect Superboy strip I've waited for for ages is finally happening over in Adventure and Johns and Manipal are leaving for yet another revival of The Flash. That fact has sorta turned me against the story as well! LOL!

Item: JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA 80 PAGE GIANT #1, These aren't that exciting so far. That JLA one sucked.

Item: OUTSIDERS #24 (BLACKEST NIGHT) COMES WITH FREE VIOLET LANTERN RING, I dropped the Nightwing run Outsiders title, tried it when Batman took it over and dropped it, picked it back up when the original crew came back (the 80's gang), dropped it again and now here I am re-adding it for BN and Dan D's up-coming run...

Item: SHOWCASE PRESENTS DC COMICS PRESENTS TP VOL 01, REALLY excited to re-vistit some of these stories. I sold off my 70's/80's comics for beer money in college (Damn you Sixth Street!) so I'm ALWAYS happy when the Showcase (and Essential) line drops into that spinner rack news-stand era for me!

Item: SUPERGIRL #47, I really am enjoying this title!

Item: SUPERMAN BATMAN #66 (BLACKEST NIGHT), I think this picks up threads from that Solomon Grundy mini that only I bought! LOL!

Item: TINY TITANS #22, Always fun!

Item: AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #612, Loved the crazy break with Deadpool before we get into the big Gaunlet bit this month! Looks good!

Item: DARK AVENGERS #11, The joke is sorta not funny anymore.

Item: DARK REIGN LIST AMAZING SPIDER-MAN ONE-SHOT, I've managed to avoid most of these but almost anything with Spidey is gonna make it home with me!

Item: MIGHTY AVENGERS #31, Isn't this cancelled? I just am not into it.

Item: POWERS ENCYCLOPEDIA VOL 01 (RES) (MR), I've never read Powers but I love the talent involved so I think I'm gonna jump on the re-launch and maybe this can help me out!

Item: REALM OF KINGS, OK, I loved the sci-fi stuff but now that it's non-stop I'm growing bored with it. Nothing seems to resolve itself and the stories seem to be hi-jacking Guardians and Nova too frequently as well. Very close to chopping Realm Of Kings if it doesn't fire straight out of the gate (that Imperial Guard title is still waiting to be read...)

Item: REALM OF KINGS INHUMANS #1 (OF 5), I do love The Inhumans though...

Item: SPIDER-WOMAN #3, One of my favourite comic teams reuninted to work on one of my favourite comic characters. Love it!

Item: THUNDERBOLTS #138, Not sure I'm sticking with the new team on this?

Item: X-MEN LEGACY #229, Things have certinly picked up around this title lately!

Item: BACK ISSUE #37, One of my favourite reads!

Man I am SO FAR BEHIND on my reading...not sure why. The Fall Back an hour bit has also left me in a funky funk. TONS more books this week...I need to find something to drop or I'll never catch up!

So on THAT depressing note here we go!

Thank you for submitting your pull list to Austin Books. Here is what we show on your list:
Item: BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER #30 JEANTY CVR, Still haven't read the last one.

Item: BATMAN WIDENING GYRE #3 (OF 6), Oh man there is a Gene Ha cover with the various Robins I want of this...I'm enjoying this take on a new side-kick for Bats! Good fun.

Item: CINDERELLA FROM FABLETOWN WITH LOVE #1 (OF 6) (MR), FABLES...come on, I'm SO there!

Item: DOOM PATROL #4 (BLACKEST NIGHT) COMES WITH FREE YELLOW LANTERN RING, OK, I dropped this last month BUT the free ring has lured me back...plus it's Blackest Night so we'll see!

Item: HOUSE OF MYSTERY #19 (MR), Ever really want to like a book but feel the love dying issue by issue! The annual was awesome though!

Item: MIGHTY #10, Dan D's refusual to address in his ridiculously useless 10 ?'s bit why DC even bothered with this and didn't promote it hacks me off. This was one of the finds of the year and DC dropped the ball!

Item: PROMO BLACKEST NIGHT CHECKLIST, Cuz I need to know what's next!

Item: SUPERMAN WORLD OF NEW KRYPTON #9 (OF 12), Wow, I haven't read the last issue which is odd as the Super-titles are truly rocking my world these days? Not sure what's put me off the last issue?

Item: SWEET TOOTH #3 (MR), THIS is Vertigo at it's best! I feel SO MUCH reading this!

Item: AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #610, Week in, week out Spidey does it for me, A-level comic entertainment!

Item: ASSAULT ON NEW OLYMPUS, OK Marvel, you're losing me...I didn't get all the List issues, I'm bailing on the gazillion Hulk wars things, and I barely want this. I mean I could care less. Marvel's never-ending epics are killing me.

Item: ASTONISHING X-MEN #32, I haven't read the last issue. I'm a big Phil Jimenez fan but the writing leaves me DOA...

Item: BLACK WIDOW DEADLY ORIGIN #1 (OF 4), I've been a huge Widow fan since I started reading Daredevil in the 80's! Excited for this!

Item: CAPTAIN AMERICA REBORN #4 (OF 6), I never dreamed I'd be this not excited by this!

Item: IMMORTAL WEAPONS #4 (OF 5), SHOCKER, these have been GOOD! I miss Iron-Fist's monthly and pray it's back soon but these are GOOD!

Item: MARVELOUS LAND OF OZ #1 (OF 8), FOUR BUCKS is alot to pay for a book like this but I loved the first round...not familiar with the material but I'll give it a shot. I hated OZ the movie growing up and was thrilled to finally have a chance to get into it! Hopefully the same will happen here!

Item: NOVA #31, The never-ending space epic has me near dropping this, one of my favourite titles. BTW...didn't I just buy Nova 30 last week?!?

Item: PSYLOCKE #1 (OF 4), I hope this is good. I love her!

Item: STRANGE TALES #3 (OF 3) (MR), It's expensive but worth it. Big fun here! I hope Marvel does another round someday!

Item: TORCH #3 (OF 8), A big surprise for me is how much I am enjoying this!

Item: ULTIMATE COMICS SPIDER-MAN #4, While I loved this book prior for some reason even though I really like it still last month's is still laying in the pile!?!

Item: X-MEN ORIGINS ICEMAN, These have been fun so I look forward to seeing this!

Item: X-MEN VS AGENTS OF ATLAS #2 (OF 2), It's still laying in the pile!

Item: PROJECT SUPERPOWERS CHAPTER TWO #4,
Item: PROJECT SUPERPOWERS MEET THE BAD GUYS #3 (OF 4), I ALWAYS start near the top of the read pile with these titles! Having BOTH on one week is AWESOME! They remind me of when indie comics first showed up in my life via Eclipse, Pacific, and First Comics titles!

Item: DARK REIGN YOUNG AVENGERS #5 (OF 5), This has bored me.

Item: FANTASTIC FOUR #572, NOTHING boring aobut this. How perfect that the John Byrne trade that starts with his start is out this week, I feel reading the new FF's the same way I did when Byrne took over back in the day! It's THAT good!

Vertigo is on fire right now...I can't wait for Fables, Jack Of Fables, Madame Xanadu, House Of Mystery, and Sweet Tooth, Unwritten is one I'm going to trade up on (I got the first few issues but found the month-to-month of it confusing, honesty HOM is the same way but I like buying it monthly...), new stuff like Daytripper and the zombie series previewed in the HOM Annual (CLASSIC STUFF THAT WAS) seem to be keeping the energy going into 2010! On top of that I'm collecting the Fables, Y, and Preacher hard-backs as they come out and re-reading as I go! Only thing I haven't vibed to was Greek Street? It did NOTHING for me for 3 issues and I dropped it!
