This week’s best cover is The Dark Tower: Treachery #6.
She-Hulk #38, Marvel Comics. The last issue. I hope Peter David’s run on She-Hulk will finally convince folks that he’s actually not that great of writer after all. I never liked his Hulk run.
The Dark Tower: Treachery #6, Marvel Comics. This mini ends so the next one can begin… but I’m done with DT.
Sgt Rock #3, DC Comics.
The War That Time Forgot #10, DC Comics.
I dropped more titles before this week’s shipment came in. Of note is the fact that Conan is no longer part of my box. I’m getting the trades so what’s the point.
For the comics I bought today… the total price was $13.99! Good grief… $13.99 for four comics, what an f-ing rip off. I’m finishing up current mini-series and I might be done for good in a few months but I’m not sure. I think the only regular titles that I’m still signed up for are: Jonah Hex, Red Sonja, Doctor Who Classic Series, Army of Darkness, Walking Dead, Brothers In Arms, and Back Issue (which is bimonthly). I also added the new Warlord series for look-see. This means for the first time in my life (while buying comics on a regular basis), I am not getting a regular Marvel book.
The mini-series that I’m finishing up are:
The War That Time Forgot, Jungle Girl, Age of the Sentry, Sgt. Rock, Ambush Bug, Kull, Last Reign, Fall of Cthulhu, Star Trek The Next Generation: The Last Generation, and The Twelve (which I hope finally finishes up soon).
A few books that I ordered before I dropped Previews are:
Supermen!: The First Wave of Comic-book Heroes (1939-1941). a collection of never-before-reprinted oddities from cartoonists working at the dawn of the comic-book format.
Essential Ambush Bug. Does my want for this really need to be explained?
Savage Sword of Conan Volume #5. SSoC is a gift that never stops giving.
You Shall Die By Your Own Evil Creation! More Fletcher Hanks goodness. I didn’t order this one but I gotta’ get it after the first volume, I Shall Destroy All The Civilized Planets!
At some point I plan on getting The Boys in trade paperback too.
Well that's my forecast along with my new comics

The recession reaches every corner, but $3.75 for mainstream comics sure don't help. I'd pay that or more for an indy comic anytime, but not the big labels.
"You Shall Die By Your Own Evil Creation! "???
Man. I'm hittin' Heavyink.com tonight for sure.
Flight volume six is in editing right now and I'm saving my pennies.
Swiney-
Didn't make it to TFAW world this week to hit my box but I did get a comic from the nearby store (review up top.)
I love that Sgt. Rock although I missed the first couple. Everybody, including Ice Cream soldier, are there.
Here you about the cost. They need to be pulling us through the recession not milking us.
Wow, 14 bucks for 4 comics?! I only buy trades, so I didn't know it was that bad. Guess I won't be changing my habits anytime soon.
