That Usagi Yojimbo Saga tpb absolutely. I have the money for the hardcover but still not sure I want to spend that much or not. I'd like to have it though.
Huh, maybe I should have preordered. Not seeing the hardcover anywhere now. That may make the decision a little easier.

I really should probably give Astro City another shot. Busiek really has been crafting a few tales for the ages with the new run. It deserves much better sales than it gets. Hoping it does well in trades. |

With Batman '66 going strong and the announcement of a Wonder Woman '77 digital ongoing all we need is a Superman '78 comic and the trinity will be complete. Now that I think of it I would definitely read an Incredible Hulk comic based on the TV show if Marvel released one.

I'd rather a Superman series that hearkens back to the George Reeves Adventures of Superman or even more so the Fleisher cartoons than one that hearkens to the Donner films. -M |

I still haven't watched any of George Reeves Superman but I love the Fleischer Studios Superman cartoons. They hold up incredibly well.

Reruns of the Reeves Adventures of Superman show in syndication on Sunday mornings before mass in the early-mid 70s was my first extended exposure to Superman stories outside of Superfriends cartoons. I first saw the Fleischer cartoons around the time of the 50th anniversary of Superman in '88. Those cartoons are still my favorite version of Superman, but the Reeves show is a close second.

Hoping it does well in trades. You should, but start at the older ones.. the current series has been a bit more hit or miss... a couple of the stories have been great, but a couple have been kinda meh. I thought about the HC Usagi, but ultimately I decided that it was too much money, especially over 10-12 (or however many it'll take to go through the whole series) volumes. I'm psyched to get them, though, since I read them from the library before. |

Only Storm this week, which is good because I still have some trades left from last week and the European market has been moving (new Jeremiah, new spin-off of Don Lawrence's Storm, new Texas Cowboys).

Yeah, I'd want to go back and read the old stuff first. I read a little bit years ago (I think it involed The Confessor), and while I remember nothing more than a general dislike, I disliked a lot of stuff then that I like/love now. |

I've been re-reading DeConnick's first Captain Marvel series, and this might be my favorite book of the last five-ten years.

I got really excited and thought Don Lawrence is being brought to the US, but then if I'm remembering correctly you're outside of the US.  |
