    I'm eyeing that Amazing Spider-Man Clone Saga vol. 1 omnibus. Never read it. I've heard mixed reviews. But it may be easier than going bin diving and will look nice on my shelf with all my other ASM omnibi (omnibuses?).

    BTW - I got an email from DCBS today and they said there's no DC solicits in this month's Previews. DC wanted to keep mum until their announcement at WonderCon. But you all probably knew this...

    DCBS has the Rebirth Special #1 75% off at $0.74...also the Rebirth Bundle is 60% off at $22.61. Pretty tough to pass up IMHO.

    Those bundles are tempting.

    I think, for the DC Rebirth stuff, their (wise) $3 price point will get me to try some titles I might not otherwise, as I usually base most of my buying on the creative team, and there aren't a lot that have me excited. But at only $3 (less thanks the the discount) I will give some a try.

    A great month for Image.

    Lazarus and Papergirls are back

    I have been enjoying the different Jupiter's Legacy titles, and nice that this one has Quitely back on art (at least partially).

    New all-Chaykin story? sold:
    MIDNIGHT OF THE SOUL #1 (OF 5) – GEM OF THE MONTH
    STORY / ART / COVER: HOWARD CHAYKIN
    JUNE 8 / 32 PAGES / FC / M / $3.50
    It’s 1950, and Joel Breakstone, former GI and liberator of Auschwitz, is seriously damaged goods. He hasn’t exhaled a sober breath in five years — until the sheltered life he’s created for himself unravels and he begins the long night that will change his life forever.

    The Order As It Stands Right Now:

    There May Be A Big Two But Damned If I Know It
    Injustice Gods Among Us Year Four TP Vol 01
    DC Universe Rebirth #1 - May break down and buy the bundle. I just get the feeling I'll see these individual issues in the 50 cent bin not too far down the road. Can't beat a 75 cent comic, though.
    DC Super Hero Girls TP Vol 01 - Yeah it's for girls. So is My Little Pony. Shut up! :)
    DC Comics Bombshells TP Vol 02
    Daring Adventures of Supergirl TP - I have the entire run of this book but it's nicely packed away. This is *my* version of Kara, and I can't wait to have this and (hopefully) the companion volume in my grubby mitts to read.
    Wonder Woman #1
    Wacky Raceland #1 - Day in court.
    Teen Titans Earth One HC Vol 02 - Loving ALL the Earth One books. Shame the Dodsons couldn't show up for this one again, but still think it's gonna be a fun read.
    Suicide Squad HC The Janus Directive - Damn DC...why is it a hardcover?

    Manga Madness
    Ancient Magus Bride GN Vol 05
    Yotsuba & ! GN Vol 13 - YES! New volume! Finally!
    Tokyo Esp GN Vol 05
    Pandora In The Crimson Shell Ghost Urn GN Vol 05
    Monster Musume I Heart Monster Girls GN Vol 02 (of 2)
    Master Keaton GN Vol 07

    Guilty Pleasure Department
    Lookers #0 Sultry Cvr (MR) - Boundless makes books that appeal to the 13-year old in me who never grew up. :)

    Where Does He Get Those Wonderful Toys?
    Rock Candy Modern Batgirl Fig
    Rock Candy Classic Supergirl Fig
    Rock Candy Bvs Wonder Woman Fig - Passed on the "regular" WW and Batgirl in favor of the BvS and the Modern versions...they just look cooler.

    Whatever Went Nowhere Else
    Superzero #6
    Complete Elfquest TP Vol 03
    Monstress TP (MR) - $4.99 for the trade at DCBS. Art looks amazing. Don't miss this.

    I am having to work overtime to pay for my June order. I think @Torchsong is going to have to get a second job to pay for his.

    It is an insane order. I usually try and set a strict budget. This month blew through that. There will likely be a culling before we're done.

    Or, if not, a reckoning.

    DC Universe Rebirth #1 (I figured this would be in the bundle but I don't see it listed)
    Future Quest #2

    Marvel

    Civil War II #2 (of 7)
    Civil War II #3 (of 7)
    Thunderbolts #2
    Ultimates Omniversal TP Vol 01
