It's that time again. Here's everything I'd get if I could afford everything I wanted... and there's no way in hell that I can this month, even with DCBS discounts. Big damn month, is what I'm saying.
ADVENTURE TIME SUGARY SHORTS TP VOL 01 - All star talent doing short AT stories? Paul Pope alone makes me want to look at this.
AUTHORITY TP VOL 01 - Collects the entire Warren Ellis run, which is all the Authority anyone needs if you ask me.
SHOWCASE PRESENTS SUPER FRIENDS TP VOL 01 - Oh, hell yes. A lot of things will be cut from this list, but this probably won't be because I want the pre-orders to be good enough that they don't cancel it. Again.
CAPTAIN ACTION CAT #1 (OF 4) - Art & Franco's Oh Yeah! Comics characters combined with *anything* will get a look.
FLASH GORDON #1 CVR A HARDMAN - Space opera goodness. Maybe THIS take on Flash will stick around for a while!
SOLAR MAN O/T ATOM #1 - Might just wait to flip through this at the store, but I'm curious.
VELVET TP VOL 01 BEFORE THE LIVING END (MR) - Buying the issues, but those are good enough I'm tempted to double dip, especially at 40% off through DCBS.
ALL NEW ULTIMATES #1 - Never been much of an Ultimate line fan, but I'm a little curious about this.
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #1 - Curious to see Peter's new start. DCBS discount about the only thing that makes it economically feasible.
SHE-HULK BY SLOTT TP VOL 02 COMPLETE COLLECTION - Pre-ordered and am looking forward to Volume 1, but I don't think Volume 2 is gonna cut it on this round due to price, even with the discount.
MIRACLEMAN PREM HC BOOK 01 DREAM OF FLYING DAVIS CVR - Want it, but pricey. Will probably wait for the trade and pray it doesn't somehow return to the legal vortex from which it came in the meantime.
AFTERLIFE WITH ARCHIE TP VOL 01 ESCAPE FROM RIVERDALE PX ED - First issue was great, and I love oddball Archie books.
CLEOPATRA IN SPACE GN VOL 01 - Mike Maihack! I love his artwork, and what I've read of this online is good.
DOCTOR WHO CRUEL SEA GN - Panini Doctor Who collections are expensive, but presented nicely.
MINIFIGURE CUSTOMIZATION SC VOL 01 NEW PTG - We've been customizing a lot of Lego minifigs in our house lately, so it'd be nice to get some hints on how to make them look really nice.
DOCTOR WHO OTHER DOCTOR 5IN AF - Pricey, but seeing as I have all the other Doctors in this scale, it's kind of a must-buy. Also, it allegedly ships on my birthday, so it's a nice gift to myself.
ADVENTURE TIME SUGARY SHORTS TP VOL 01 - All star talent doing short AT stories? Paul Pope alone makes me want to look at this.

Comments
Vertigo Quaterly because Gabriel Bá, et al.
Showcase Presents Super Friends because the two color trade paperbacks from a few years back didn’t include all the stories. And because Ramona Fradon.
Southern Bastards should be another hit for Image. Jason Latour is rocking the art on this one.
Velvet vol. 1 because trade waiting.
Escapo because for some reason it’s Paul Pope I don’t already have.
Adventure Time: Sugary Shorts for my daughter, but I'll read it when she’s done with it. It’s reprints, but I only buy the trades, and these stories weren’t included there.
Flash Gordon, since I'm a sucker for Flash, and I like the creative team.
Cleopatra in Space because Maihack is good people and a very good artist. As with Adv. Time, I'll give this to my daughter (she already has a sketch and a couple of prints by Maihack), but I'll read it too.
DC
ALL STAR WESTERN TP VOL 04 GOLD STANDARD (N52) - As long as they keep making this, I'll keep buying it
AUTHORITY TP VOL 01 - For the very reason Library Boy mentions (although I'd want the Millar run as well)
