A small week for me:- CATWOMAN #17 - More for my son than for myself
- HARLEY QUINN & POISON IVY #3 - I enjoy Harley's weird team-ups
- BLACK CAT ANNUAL #1 Didn't know about this one. Just starting to catch up on the regular series.

Detective Comics # 1015 - Tomasi continues to impress, and as Shawn said above has put a new spin on Mr. Freeze.
Superman # 17 - I think I may be dropping these titles. I'm not liking where Bendis is going. A shame as Jurgens and Tomasi had really got Superman back on track over the past couple of years.
GI Joe # 268 - A good solid, well constructed series. Larry Hama and Robert Atkins are doing great stuff.
History of the Marvel Universe # 5 - I'm a sucker for these types of series.

My most recent pick ups, haven't been into comics in a
couple weeks now...........Marvel Masterworks Doc Strange,
Stern,Rogers, Golden, Smith, Nowlan! What a powerhouse
run in this volume!
Savage Sword of Conan #10.. guest writer artist combo of
Roy Thomas and Alan Davis... I'll buy anything Davis draws,
and Roy scripting Conan. Thats my childhood right there........
Dan Slotts FF #15...... his take is SO fun...... and he's got a
great artist, Paco Medina, at the moment. This storyline
started in the previous issue, the FF rebuild their original
rocket and take it back into space to complete their original
mission!

Keep forgetting about that Thomas/Davis Savage Sword story. Maybe next time.
As to what I DID get...
Store books:
BLACK PANTHER AND AGENTS OF WAKANDA #3 - no Wasp and I'm still having fun, so this one if coming off of probation.
INVADERS #11 - I'm a sucker for a story where people who have been old friends for years get to act like they've been old friends for years. I just wish Jim Hammond got to play some more in this series.
X-MEN #2 - It was okay, but I'm still stuck in emotional limbo. :-) One advantage to not really following the X-books for several years (even going back and getting back issues, my last Uncanny was the last Kieron Gillen issue that came out 7 years ago) is that I have plausible deniability that there's a story out there that explains when characters act in a way that seems "off" to me. In this case, I don't remember Rachel and Cyclops being all that close but maybe I missed something so I can go along with it. Aside from my quick visit with the New Mutants, I've ignored the rest of X-books but it looks like they're making at least a perfunctory attempt to make these stories "fit" in the order they're released. Not quite sure they're fully pulling it off, though.
Mail order:
TREES THREE FATES #3
GI JOE A REAL AMERICAN HERO #268
MARVEL MASTERWORKS PIN-UP HC - I thought this was a collection of all of the Marvel Silver Age pin-ups, but now I'm noticing that JB is one of the artists included so I guess they'll be going a ways past that as well. Looking forward to it.
USAGI YOJIMBO 35TH ANNIV #6 - extended version of the very first Usagi story. Should be interesting.
BATMANS GRAVE #2
FUTURE FOUNDATION #4

BUFFY: HELLMOUTH #2 - This is fine, even if it does creak (as mainstream super hero stories often do) from being a property that is probably best served by ending and the creators moving on to new things.
DOLLHOUSE FAMILY #1 - Part of Joe Hill's mini-line of horror comics from DC. Really interesting premise and well done.
BATMAN'S GRAVE #2 - See Buffy description above - perfectly fine from creators who would be better served by coming up with something original.
FAMILY TREE #1 - Great first issue from Jeff Lemiere and Phil Hester, the story of a family already struggling only to find the youngest daughter is turning into a tree. Nothing explained yet but near perfect set-up.
GIDEON FALLS #18 - Consistently interesting book, as I understand, working toward it's end now. Good stuff.

Adam, For me it's a Superman book so it gets extra consideration before I drop it. Same with Captain America although I finally dropped that. I don't like NOT buying books with my favorite characters. It's no too different from the X-Men for me. None of those three titles are being written the way I want them to be written but the X-Men is my all-time favorite comic (in fact, I probably could have dropped it after #200 decades ago in all honesty). The art on Superman is the saving grace at the moment and I'm not going to drop the book based on a story I haven't read yet, I'll wait for a Cap book not written by Coates (I skipped the entire Spencer run after tolerating Remender's run), I'm now tolerating the X-Men because I'm intrigued by where it's going. My comic book buying experience is much less when I'm not buying my favorite characters.
