Another week, another new shipment of comics.  Here's what's being put aside for me for pickup (I'll be going in next week to pick up the month of February):

  • Batman White Knight presents Harley Quinn #5 - I'm looking forward to this.
  • Future State Legion ofSuper-Heroes #2 - I'll read both 1 and 2 at the same time.
  • Amazing Spider-Man #60 - I'm finally caught up (to issue 58) of this title.  I'm looking forward to this one in particular as it sets the parameters for a new direction for this title.
  • Black Cat KIB #3 - I'm not caught up on this title yet, but I hope to prior to picking up my February package.
  • Captain Marvel #26 - So far behind on this title.

CROSSOVER #4 - paid through #6, but while the concept is interesting the execution has been kind of "meh." Maybe if I had more affection for the Paybacks... The guest appearance at the end of #3 was interesting, I'll admit.

DEPARTMENT OF TRUTH #6 - this one I'm more enthused by

NOVEMBER HC VOL 04 - got 1-3 recently when the LCS had a sale; not what I was expecting, but enjoyable. We'll see how it all ties together.

SAVAGE DRAGON #257 - good clean fun

SCUMBAG #5 - liked this more when I thought it a five issue series; don't know if he's got enough variations on the theme to go much farther

AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #60 - the solicit made me nervous enough to flip in the LCS while I wait for my copy to arrive (I mean, we just got MJ back...). Initial fears relieved but I'm really curious where they're going with this. Can't see Marvel letting Spencer undo the undoing of the spider-marriage (assuming he'd even want to), but maybe they'll be made aware of what they lost?    
CAPTAIN MARVEL MARVELS SNAPSHOTS #1 - my last pre-pandemic prepaid book

MAESTRO WAR AND PAX #2 - nice to see a "whatever happened to the Pantheon" story

SYMBIOTE SPIDER-MAN KING IN BLACK #4 - my continuity sense keeps reminding me that Black Knight didn't rejoin the Avengers until after Pete lost the symbiote (and by that point Valinor (who was a black horse) had lost his wings), but so it goes. Maybe Valkyrie loaned Dane Aragorn for old time's sake? :-)

US AGENT #3 - good clean fun

SOMETHING IS KILLING THE CHILDREN #11-15 - got #1 last visit to the LCS and, unfortunately, I really liked it :-) Cleared out the single issues the store had today and I'm currently deciding how much money I'm willing to spend to appease my preference for single issues in obtaining the material from #2-10.

Batman White Knight Harley Quinn #5- This has been interesting. Definitely paced for a trade.

Future State Dark Detective #4, Superman House of El #1- House of El is by Phillip Kennedy Johnson, who I hope will make the Superman books readable.

Generations Forged #1- I liked Shattered so this should be good.

Black Cat #3- This has been a fun little story.

The Union #3- Still waiting for this one to grab me.

U.S.Agent- I like John Walker but only as a redemption character. I think Priest is writing him with a good heart.

SCUMBAG #5 - Probably my last issue, the initial charm is already worn out on me.

CROSSOVER #4 - Cool ideas, I do worry it's becoming a touch indulgent already.

TWO MOONS #1 - New horror western. I liked this a lot.
