I loved that series. I have them all in trades; I recommend Wolfman

Black Magick is back!

Bummer. No Black Science.

Double bummer. No Lazarus this month either.

Old Guard #5. Awesome, but bummed that it will go on hiatus until 2018. Clearly, 2 issues a month of Wonder Woman, Lazarus, Black Magick and Old Guard are too much at once.

Too many anniversary issues from DC! Wonder Woman 25 does look good though.

Mostly nice looking offerings from Valiant this month, though I'm about ready for them to take a break with Faith.

Well you're in luck. Pretty sure the solicitations said this was the final issue of Faith.

luke52

I'll be picking up all Valiant as usual.

All Brian K Vaughn, again, as usual.

Think I'll give the new DC summer blockbuster prelude a go. Snyder and Tynion III are solid writers and the art team looks strong to. The price point annoys me, but the creators have pulled me in.

Missed that. I'm assuming that this is going to lead into the reformation of the Renegades team.

I think it's going to lead into Harbinger Wars 2, Valiants next big event.

Dynamite created the perfect book for @Torchsong
Kiss/Vampirella

nweathington

Go Team Venture: The Art and Making of the Venture Brothers
Pop Gun War vol. 2
The Complete Sabrina the Teenage Witch vol. 1: 1961-1971 — over 500 pages, only $10!
Nocturnals: The Sinister Path vol.1 OGN
Valerian: The Complete Collection vols. 1-3 — finally in English!

Gonna be an expensive month. I'll probably have to hold off on the Venture Brothers book.

Torchsong

The Order as it Stands for the Good of the Order :)

Theme #1: That's Really Super, Supergirl
Supergirl The Silver Age TP Vol 01 - I probably have these stories in b/w format already in my Showcase editions but if I can get color versions it might be worth the double-dip.
Supergirl Being Super #4 (of 4)
Supergirl #10
DC Super Hero Girls A Kids Coloring Book TP *
Daring Adventures of Supergirl TP Vol 02

Theme #2: Yeah, But Ain't They All Witches Inside?
Sabrina The Teenage Witch Comp TP 1962-1971 - Five bucks for a decade's worth of storylines about one of my favorite Archie squad people?
Generation Witch GN Vol 01
Flying Witch GN Vol 02

Theme #3: Vampires and Grown Men in Weird Costumes
Vampirella #4 - Rarely do I get the cosplay/photo variant of any book, but this time around it's Ireland Reid and she *is* Vampirella IMHO
Kiss Vampirella #1 (of 5) - How do I not pick this up? As a Vampi fan and a Lt. Colonel in the KISS Army, I'm honor bound!

Theme #4: Elves!
Complete Elfquest TP Vol 04

Theme #5: Crap from Japan
Sailor Moon Gm Break Time Sailor Jupiter Fig - What, a grown-ass man can't enjoy Sailor Moon?!?
Master Keaton GN Vol 11
Dorohedoro GN Vol 21 (MR)
Appleseed Alpha HC GN Vol 01
Alice & Zouroku GN Vol 01
Aho Girl (Clueless Girl) GN Vol 01 - This looks like it has the potential to be my new favorite thing. Absolute clueless girl relies on her friends to keep her alive.

Am I reading the solicit correctly that this collection is not in color?

I think they're making it like a Showcase or Essential edition. So yeah, B&W may be the case.

It's listed as B&W on Amazon as well, so yeah. Which is fine by me as long as the reproduction is clean. And at only $10—$7.50 after my LCS discount—it’s cheaper than the Showcases and Essentials.

bralinator

Thanks @Torchsong and @nweathington - I wanted to be certain before I recorded the podcast. Was considering recommending it.

For five bucks at DCBS I really couldn't say no to it. 500 pages plus, even in black and white, of classic Archie stuff...that's a penny a page! :)

It's going on my pull list

Has Archie done this before with other titles/characters and I just missed it?

Hopefully 2nd time's a charm.

Looking doubtful. I figure it will be around for a while. I'll probably end up putting it on my Christmas list.

Outside of my regular stuff (Transformers, ROM and Micronauts), I'm looking forward to Batman/TMNT spotlight.
