As much as I love a good Love & Rockets cover, foxley wins over with a fun Omaha cover.

Off the top of my head:
1. Spectre: The 10 issue run from the 1967, along with Showcase appearances and the Brave & the Bold. 2. Sea Devils: I've love re-colored collection of the Showcase issues and the run. 3. 'DC Teens'- a collection of weird teen stuff like Jason's Quest, Maniaks, Willy & Windy 4. Angel & the Ape: ALL of the series takes; From the 60s to Foglio's mini to Chaykin's Vertigo books. 5. Rom Spaceknight: If they can find a way to work with the toy company to get rights and money taken care of, I'd like to see this series reprinted. 6. Spidey Super-Stories 7. Hostess Ads- This one would be tough to do but literally take all of those Hostess ads and create two volumes; DC and Marvel.

DubipR's picks of the week:
- That Texas Blood #7: Slam's wrap up is dead on. I'm happy it's back. First issue of the new arc, I'm interested to see how this plays. I love Condon's research and dedication to the comic and prose back pieces that add to the story. They're so rich and flesh out the world he's building. Phillips' artwork is superb.
- Crossover #7: Donny Cates has created an insane but amazing series with Crossover. I love what he's doing in bridging comics and the real world together. It's fun and crazy and makes for great reading. This time guest writer Chip Zdarsky fills in with Ande Parks doing the art chores. The ending is a doozy and I look forward to more of Cates. He's one of my favorite writers at the moment.
- Kane and Able: I'm a big fan of Shaky Kane's books. He writes and draws such weird world stuff. If you're a fan of Bulletproof Coffin, this one is for you as it's a continuation of sorts. I've seen bits and pieces of Krent Able's work before but this is first time for a full comic. Dark and twisted. Gory and funny. The two of them combine to create a quirky comic

World's Finest #234 Love the newspaper; sounds like something out of Heathers. "We could never reveal our forbidden love to an uncaring and ununderstanding world"

Saturday, I finally got to a store in Buffalo I'd been wanting to hit since they moved into a larger location. Good selection of stuff across the board, but since I'm going on vacation in a couple weeks, kept buys to a minimum from the sale boxes: (Been informally looking for that HoM cover since I saw it used as the image for a surf playlist on YouTube.) Also, tried mail order from crumb.com. The Hups are later printings, but overall, satisfied. Three days from order to delivery + they threw in the Mr. Natural for free. Fantastic pick ups! Peep Show was always a fun read. Great Crumb books too! I remember seeing that House of Mystery cover as a kid and it scared me so much. My neighbor had that issue and he'd taunt me with it hahaha.

With the exception of Nightwing, Robin is one of the best monthly titles going on right now at DC. Joshua Williamson and Gleb Melinkov (who's art I'm really enjoying) are crafting an interesting take of Damian Wayne. This issue with him and Conner Hawke together was really well done. The arc is ramping up to be extremely interesting with a great last page reveal for next month. Tom Taylor and Williamson are two must reads from DC.
