Well you can skip the Superman Returns issue that came out today if you've seen the original film. It's pretty much a fascimile of the opening shot to Marlon Brando to Kal-El's crash on Earth. It looks pretty though. I guess I thought these issues were going to be all original prequels. Anyway I feel ripped off.

I think that I'm dropping FNSM. Peter David's one of my favorite authors, but this is easily some of his worst work, the plots are too simplified and almost child-like. Despite starting out as part of the big Spider-crossover and despite Peter wearing the Tony Stark spider-suit, this series feels like it is not connected to regular Spider-Man continuity at all.
This week's Walking Dead was incredible. Then again, why am I not surprised?

Did JMS force PAD into writing the stalker blog issue or the Mexican wrestling arc?

My books were waiting for me 
...However, Im not sure if I should be happy or not because the guy just basically left the package for the whole apt. building to take. But, it worked out so I'm glad now

The Star Wars preview was just pictures with text explaining people and places of this new series. It was only 25 cents though, so who cares. It doesn't make me want to get into Star Wars comics again though.

I was also surprised with WW #1. I remember reading some of those old Diana Prince issues...they were god-awful back then, so let's hope they can do something good with it.

Sorry, I misunderstood your statement. I thought you meant that you pirated the last couple issues of FNSM, not The Other.

Question for those who order comics the "old fashioned" way (through Previews). If you keep track of what you order on the computer, how do you do it?
My fiance made up an Excel [?] spreadsheet a while back, but I lost it and she's too busy for me to ask her to throw one together again.

I feel so behind...Finally read the first issue of 52. Not too bad, luckily I have stayed away and not read much about it so I didnt know how it was going to play out, but it will be interesting to see where it heads.

I have never been a fan or reader of Wonder Woman but yesterday I gave the new WW #1 a shot and I have to admit it was pretty damn good! I am not familiar with Donna Troy at all, is there a one shot or special that tells her story?

I'm about 2/3 of the way through Batman Dark Detective and I must say, I hate it! The dialogue is horrendous and I've not been a fan of Terry Austin's inks since, I don't know, some time in the 90's? How did he go from his quality and style on the X-Men to this???

So far, the back-up story in 52 seems like a complete waste of space for those of us who've already read these events before. They always seem to assume people will pick up a trade to fill in the gaps they need in a storyline, why not here?

I just can't seem to get involved in Checkmate. Anybody else having a hard time getting excited about it?
Edit: Also, on Invincible....next month is finally the storyline to tie-in to the Marvel Team-Up issue. Between the intentional gap in those issues and the incredible lateness of Invincible, I can't even remember the details of MTU anymore.

Invincible hasn't been THAT late. It's about 4 months behind schedule total i'd say. i've resigned myself to the fact that the Ultimates is never going to finish.
