in Comics Talk Community - The On Topic Forum
Here's what I'd get (above and beyond my normal monthly pick-ups) if I could afford everything I'd like. Deep cuts will need to be made, sadly.

ADVENTURE TIME TP VOL 03 - The first two trades were as good as any episodes of the TV show.
SIX GUN GORILLA #1 (OF 6) - Gorilla Western? Yeah, that earns a look.
DICK BRIEFERS FRANKENSTEIN HC - Always wanted to read these. Not sure if it's the horror or comedy stories (hopefully some of each?)
STAR TREK LEGION OF SUPERHEROES TP - Liked the first issue, was waiting for a trade, and DCBS has it cheap.
A PLUS X #9 - Kitty Pryde and Jessica Drew team up? Yes, please.
KILL ALL MONSTERS VOL 01 RUINS OF PARIS
HERO HAPPY HOUR TP (ARCANA) (RES) - Enjoyed the little bit of this I read years ago.
DARE DETECTIVES SNOW PEA PLOT COLL ED HC
ARCHIE #645 TIM SEELEY VAR - Foxy if jailbaity B&V cover by Seeley.
SIXTH GUN TP VOL 01 - Keep meaning to get around to this!
IT CAME #1 (OF 4) - Man... good month for B-movie-inspired comics!
DOCTOR WHO 10TH DOCTOR 5IN AF BLUE SUIT VER - I have the brown suit & trench coat 10th Doctor figure, but I've always liked the blue suit & glasses one a little better.

    @LibraryBoy, Yeah, I’m going to try Six-Gun Gorilla too. Sixth Gun is great; I think you’ll really enjoy it. And if it's the IDW Frankenstein book you’re talking about, it’s about two-thirds horror stories and one-third humor stories. The horror stories are pretty good, but I love Briefer’s humor stories. I wish there was a book just collecting all of those. In case you’re interested, Alter Ego #41 and #62 ran Briefer’s Frankenstein try-out newspaper strips. It’s an adaptation of one of the humor stories from the comic series, and it’s just fantastic. Too bad it didn’t get picked up.

    A few of the things I found interesting in this Previews (not NECESSARILY meaning I'm going to buy them):

    Nova #5: Great so far. Loeb and McGuinness are leaving with issue #6 or so (maybe this one, IDC). So I definitely want to give them their day in court to prove the character to me.

    'The She-Hulk Diaries' (Marta Acosta)/'Rogue Touch' (Christine Woodward): Marvel is doing prose novels directed at women? Hey, I'm all for closing the gender gap, but this just seems like an odd approach and timing.

    Captain Midnight #0: I've been wanting to read more Dark Horse, but with all the Star Wars, Hellboy and such, never really had an interest. But this sounds like a cool chance to get in to the Dark Horse brand.

    Nexus Omnibus Volume 3: I already own the first two volumes and they're amazing. This one is roughly the same size. 424 pages of full color Nexus for $25. Great value for great comics.

    Breath of Bones - A Tale of the Golem #1 (of #3): As a fan of all things Ragman, I have a cursory knowledge of the Golem. In DC comics, the Golem is the supernatural protector of the Jewish people before it went rouge/became violent/etc. Then they created the suit of souls that Ragman now wears. Obviously this is Dark Horse, for all I know every bit about the Golem in DC comics is based solely on the legend itself. But the difference doesn't matter. I'm still interested enough to check out a mini-series.

    Superman #21: Hector Hammond in a Superman book? Odd but interesting.

    The Wake #2: I read an interview with Scott Snyder saying this book is his chance to cut lose and do whatever he wanted. That's enough for me.

    Dark Skullkickers Dark #1: Honestly? My only interest comes from the spoof cover of Green Lantern/Green Arrow #85 (legendary 'Snowbirds don't Fly' storyline).

    Herobear and the Kid: Just looks like a cute kids book.

    'The Walking Dead' Risk & Monopoly: I know, I know. Multiple versions of these games are nothing more than gimicks, but I don't own a single version of either one of these games. Besides, I've never played Risk, but I know the basic idea and a Walking Dead themed version sounds cool.

    Captain America (1990) Collector's Edition Blu-Ray    : Never seen it, but hey, why the hell not?

    Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus vol. 1: I've already got it, but my cat somehow got hold of the dust jacket while it was on my shelf and shredded the bottom half--thank goodness the book is okay (grrrrr). I've been thinking about getting another one as more of a reader/loaner copy anyway, but it's been out of print until now. At $50 from DCBS I can't really argue, especially when the first volume goes for anywhere around $150-$300 on the back market!

    Batman/Superman #1 (Combo & Blank Var.)

    Star Wars #6

    I have been loving Doctor Who Prisoners of Time. Amazing story thus far. I'm a bigger fan of #10 in the brown suit as opposed to the blue suit.

    I like it too but am I missing the larger story? It seems each issue is a stand alone story and only connects to the others by having the companions vanish at the end.
