Essential X-Men #4
Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars #1-12 in one handy 336 page book.

Buffy season 8 starts tomorrow! Yippee!

I should get my issue tomorrow...

I think we need to start a topic when one of us gets it.

I finally, finally got my hands on the copy of Infinite Crisis I had won on Ebay months ago.

I have to say, it all proved worthwhile. As a complete and utter Crisis on Infinite Earths fan, I really think Infinite Crisis not only lived up to the high expectations of reshaping the DC Universe as a whole, but also has more geek-out moments than Crisis on Infinite Earths. IMO, Superboy Prime and Alexander Luthor made better villains than the Anti-Monitor. Nothing will ever really come close in levels of bad-assery to destroying over three thousand universes, but Alexander's ruthless determination and Prime's slow descent were much more well-played out than what I feel was the repetitive beatings of the Anti-Monitor: "He's dead. No, wait, he's back. Alright, he's dead again. Nah, not dead now. Dead now? Nope, he's a fireball."

Overall, Infinite Crisis rocked my geek factor hard, and it'll take its place with my other favorite TPB's as things I could read over and over again and never get bored.

Yeah, its annoying posting my weekly pickups so I'll just do back issues from now on.

Won:

God Loves, Man Kills TPB (2nd Printing) for 99p off ebay.

Not in great conidition but it'll do, I can always get a better one later down the line. Fills another hole in my X-Men collection.

Anyone pick up MS Mephisto? I would've but I have him pre-ordered.

I had the entire Truth series for a buck an issue a few shows ago and put it down for some stupid reason. Need to hunt that down again.

Am I the only one who can't read a majority of Marvel's books anymore simply because I find most of their "heroes" unlikeable since Civil War? I mean, I really can't root for a bunch of Uncle Tom's who sold out their friends (and actually chose to side with some of Marvel's worst criminals) for ideals that go against everything I was taught MAKES a hero. Not to even mention a world of people who suddenly spit on Captain America over one event. I look over the last month of books I buy (which seems to grow smaller by the month) and see about 3 Marvel books-AXM, Hulk, the Zombies stuff. I've dropped everything else.

I REALLY hope when Hulk returns, some of this crap gets shitcanned. Bendis and Co have utterly ruined the Marvel universe for me and I've never felt less like a comic fan because of them.
