Green Lantern #13

Defenders #11

Hypernaturals #4

I'm also thinking about grabbing that Daredevil End of Days #1.

Hmmm. Sounds like AvX vs #6 might have something that can be interpreted as a Heroclix joke.

AvX #12 Spoilers: Cyclops is a Skrull.

AvX
AvX vs
Uncanny X-Force
Age of Apocalypse
Uncanny Xmen
Legends of the DarkKight

I just finished AvX12.. I thought they ended it well. I mean sure, there were a few things that happened that kinda pissed me off.. It was a pretty good story arc overall though. I'm looking forward to reading "Uncanny Avengers"

EARTH 2 #5
WORLDS FINEST #5

WARLORD OF MARS DEJAH THORIS #16

Woohoo cheapweek

Might take a peek at Spaceknights

That's what I thought of Brightest Day, and that was stretched to 26 issues when it should've been half as long.

What I picked up today-

DC-
Action Comics 13
Animal Man 13
Green Lantern 13
Swamp Thing 13

Marvel-
Avengers Academy 38

Boom Studios-
Hypernaturals 4

I've gotten through all but Hypernaturals and loved them. So sad Avengers Academy ends next month.

Oh man, you and I both. It was my favorite title, the one I recommended first over all others. Between it and Fraction's Iron Man, my Marvel list is getting a lot lighter.

Damn, why can't I get into Swamp Thing? The book's pacing is soooo slow for me. Which blows my mind a little because the pacing in American Vampire is amazing. Oh wells.

The first Animal Man chapter for Rotworld was good fun, though, reading both Rotworld issues back to back made me feel like they were ridiculously similar from a beat perspective.

Defenders is shaping up nicely. I now enjoy a Matt Fraction book!

So many things I had to buy this week...

DC:
Batman Detective Comics #13
Earth 2 #5
Green Lantern #13
Legend of the Dark Knight #1

IDW:
Doctor Who #1 Hastings exclusive variant

Marvel:
AvX #12
AvX #12 Hastings exclusive Deadpool variant
AvX VS #6
Minimum Carnage

...and I needed to re-stock up on bags and boards

Have you tried Hawkeye? I imagine that's up your alley.

This may be blasphemy, but I am starting to finally realize that Swamp Thing and Animal Man are just OK. They are still interesting enough for me to collect, but the hype about these titles doesn't really seem warranted. They are good comics, but not great.

Personally I was hoping for both of them to do more than just fight the Rot for over a year. I was hoping for more than just one long slog through the realms of decay.

I'm kind of feeling you on that.

Again, the only DCNU books that are getting me excited to read them are I,Vampire and Wonder Woman.

Do we know if Phantom Stranger is getting an ongoing? 'Cause I'd read that monthly.

You make a fair point. To be honest, they're not my favorite reads, but it is hard (for me) to follow one without the other, similar to FF/Fantastic Four in the Hickman run.

I was also eager to buy into an Animal Man series, because the old Morrison run was great. This one pays homage to that run while doing the Rotworld bit.

I've honestly never read any Swamp Thing before this series, but I enjoy both revamps of the Red/Green aspects. While the Rotworld saga has gone on in both series since the initial arcs of both series, the scope of the Rotworld is pretty massive. So if that means consolidating it into 2 series over more than a span of a year, instead of multiple crossovers and mini-series, I'm okay with that. It's a slow burn kind of good.
