Local comic shoppers, tighten up your pull-lists. Early birds, prepare to place your pre-orders here: DCBService.com. Online orders for May should begin around 5/3/16. That's about two weeks, so plenty of time to mull over your selections.
What looks good to you??

Some initial thoughts--
For Marvel. Damn. That is a LOT of Civil War tie-ins. I bought way in on the original Civil War. I don't anticipate doing that again. (Though I'm sure I will read the event more broadly after the fact via Marvel Unlimited).
I'm glad that Civil War is not interrupting everything I am reading, though. At least, not yet.
It is nice to see that the main Civil War story looks to be giving Captain Marvel a push. I feel like she has been (at least in the books I have been reading) underused the last couple of years.
The Signature Art of Brian Stelfreeze — If I can afford it this month.
Adventure Time Comics #1 — New AT ongoing with cool indie artists. I’m in. Katie Cook in the first issue!
Black Hammer #1 — new Jeff Lemire series
Harrow County vol. 3
Batman ’66 Meets the Aven—I mean Steed and Mrs. Peel #1 — I’ve never been that big on Man from U.N.C.L.E., but I love me some Avengers.
Captain Victory and the Galactic Rangers tp — I won't be buying this myself, because I bought the single issues, but I highly recommend it, especially if you've read the original Kirby story.
Snotgirl #1 — A new series by Bryan Lee O’Malley. I'll give it a shot.
Prophet vol. 5 tp — This has been a really cool series, and this wraps it up.
Weirdworld vol. 1 tp — Again, not buying the trade because I've been buying it as it comes out, but I thought I'd mention this as I don't hear anyone talking about it. It’s been a very fun series, with some very cool artwork. No continuity knowledge required, so if you're remotely curious, I encourage you to pick this up.
The Sixth Gun vol. 9 tp — I'm a couple of volumes behind on the series, but this is where it ends. Good stuff.
