The Amazing Spider-Man #261, 267-271, 276, 278, 289, 290 - Thus ends my ASM purchases from this year's Denver Comic Con. This was $70 worth of books I snagged for just over $30. All good stuff that really makes me want to keep reading older ASM. Also, many of these were read in June, but I treat them like a trade and record them when I finish.
Forgot to order PREVIEWS for this month so my DCBS order arrived a week early. Big month this time!
Saga #30
Batman #42
Bizarro #1 (of 6)
My Little Pony #32 - read this as a bedtime story for a couple of nights with my daughter. I don't do "pony" voices very well, but it's fun to try and stretch some voiceover/voice acting muscles.

Outcast Vol. 1 TPB - read issue 1 and wasn't that impressed. Saw this at my local library and picked it up. Now I'm intrigued. Not the best thing I've read this month, but it was enjoyable. I also liked the fact that it wasn't a Christian/Church-bashing story, but who knows, this was only volume one. I'll have to also check out the TV show once that begins airing.
Superman: Earth One Vol. 3 - woof. I'm glad this was a library read. At times though, I did think it was better than the MoS film, but overall, I don't see these moving much farther forward.
