Good ol' UPS. Rather than deliver that other box to my LCS, they decided what they'd really rather do is ship it back out of Providence, where it was received, to Chicago. They said they were sending it back to its sender. Even though the sender was in New York. 8-}
I just got in a stack of close to 50 issues of the old "Classics Illustrated". Ended up trading someone online a box of Garbage pail kids Flashback 3 cards for these issues. Now all of them are "reader copies" but still so far the few I have looked through have great artwork.
Here is a list of the issues I got in.

PS After watching The Descendants yes I know Clooney is playing "the normal guy/father w/ lots of money & real problems" in this movie but I would go on a 5 minute bitchfest to the wife in the hospital bed. Judy Greer's last scene was the next best thing though. The movie had slight twists here & there that didn't go the easy way out & overall a dang good movie for it. 5 stars go see this movie -- single, married, w/ kids or w/o kids go watch this film.
The "Wa-a-ait is the hardest part" edition, since this is my first DCBS month.
DIAL H #1 EARTH 2 #1 G.I. COMBAT #1 - This could possibly be a DC book I read in trade. MIND THE GAP #1 - Picking this up at the LCS to read today, not overly excited but interested. WORLDS' FINEST #1 X-O MANOWAR #1 - Looking to be surprised with this one, also a LCS pickup.
Cool! The first issue of my run on the Hack/Slash back-up feature, The Corpse, comes out today!
This is part 5 of the feature, and it's an interlude, so there's not a lot of action...that kicks in next month. Story by H/S editor Jim Lowder, pencils and inks by me, colors by Mark Englert, and colors by Crank!
Daredevil 11 & 12 Ultimate Spider-Man (the cartoon tie-in) #1 World's Finest #1 (was going to pass, but the Perez artwork made me want to give it a shot) Ms. Marvel #1 (most recent series, from the back issue bins)

I didn't know about this. So.... sell me on "The Corpse." I know you're not writing it, but what's it about?
BATMAN #9 BATMAN, VOL 01: THE COURT OF OWLS HC DEADPOOL #54 DEMON KNIGHTS #9 DUNGEONS & DRAGONS FORGOTTEN REALMS #1 GREEN WAKE TP VOL 02 LOST CHILDREN NIGHT OF 1000 WOLVES #1 (OF 3) OZ OZMA OF OZ GN TP
I also have a bunch of stuff in a DCBS order and even more in an Amazon order.
Batman #9 Demon Knights #9 (might be my last issue - it's alright, but it isn't wowing me, and the pacing is pretty slow) Limited Collectors' Edition C-21 - Shazam! (DC oversized tabloid edition from 1973)
Deadpool #54 *spoiler* For those who have read the build up to this story, you may have saw it coming. Deadpool actually does something to make the old school fans remember the good old days, he actually fights to save his friend. I know it doesn't seem like much, but it's something other then what we have been getting since Wolverine: Origins.

ADVENTURE TIME #4 - Meh, I'm sticking with it until #6 HARDCORE #1 - Not at all interested but we'll see SAGA #3 - WANT! So badly do I want to read this right now. THE MANHATTAN PROJECTS #3 - Dropped. This one got pulled so I'll check it out but this series is doing nothing for me. VALEN OUTCAST MAIN CVRS #6 - So sad to hear this is being stopped at issue #8. This was one of the most underrated comics currently coming out and I was loving this more than almost everything else. Gutted. :(
Godzilla Hooded Sweatshirt! I had missed this in my Previews and my LCS was able to snag me one! Awesome Surprise! Dancer #1 - The art won me over and I had to have a copy! Looking forward to reading this!
New Stuff Justice League #9 Danger Club #2 Saga #3 Amazing Spider-Man: Ends of the Earth #1 Avengers #26 Fantastic Four #605.1 Incredible Hulk #7.1 Valen the Outcast #6 - @Zhurrie I share your pain over this ending, thank you for recommending it.
Old Stuff ROM Spaceknight #17, 18 Fantastic Four Annual #11
@Greg, no problem, I wish I had turned more people on to it now :( I seriously would fund this book personally to keep it alive.
I read all of my books, and Hardcore #1 actually kept me interested and I will read more! Dancer #1 was such an unexpected surprise! I loved this book! Saga was weaker than the previous issues but had a lot of emotion and drew me in majorly, this is the best comic I have read in years, maybe ever. Manhattan Projects, this does nothing for me at all, I don't find it fun or interesting, just nothing. It isn't my cup of tea.
