Purchases At the Time:
Amazing Spider-Man #526 Batman #647 Detective Comics #813 Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #2 Green Lantern Corps: Recharge #2 Infinite Crisis #2 Marvel Knights Spider-Man #20 Usagi Yojimbo #89
Purchased Later:
All-Star Superman #1 Seven Soldiers: Bulleteer #1 (tpb) Seven Soldiers: Frankenstein #1 (tpb)
Spider-Man: "The Other"? Infinite Crisis? Bleh! I regret so many of these purchases in hindsight. Modern mainstream comics have sucked for a good long time, but I was giving them a fair shot 10 years ago, and I went on to read and buy even more of them over the next two years before gradually scaling back to the point where I literally buy four comics a month now.

Desolation Jones #4 Fell #3 Godland #5 Jack Cross #4 Seven Soldiers:Bulleteer #1
I thought DJ was second only to Doktor Sleep among the Warren Ellis projects that he abandoned around that time, due to the loss of a hard drive, I think I read somewhere. Fell OTOH I found relatively pedestrian: it read to me like a pretty standard police drama, almost as if Ellis was trying to show someone he could write an American cop show for tv. Great artwork, though. Jack Cross was more interesting and probably deserved a sequel or three, if not an ongoing.
Godland continued to be a lot of fun - I really must go back and read the whole thing sometime. And Seven Soldiers was probably the best mainstream comic of the time, although Bulleteer wasn't a particular favourite of mine within that multi-series project.
Still, 5 comics, not bad. Certainly more than I'm finding in the new releases at the present time.

Fell #4 Godland #6 Hard Time:Season Two #1 Seven Soldiers:Bulleteer #2 Seven Soldiers:Mister Miracle #2
I talked about Fell, Godland, and Bulleteer last month, so this time I'll just say that Hard Time S2 was, if anything, even better than the first series. It's all the more saddening that Gerber died so young when I remember that he was still producing work of such quality right up to the end of his life.
Morrison's Mister Miracle miniseries was one of the more interesting parts of Seven Soldiers, though a bit of a disappointment from a Mister Miracle perspective, as it dealt with the Kirby concept only in a peripheral way, exploiting it for his over-arching Seven Soldiers (and later his Ultimate Crisis, or whatever it was called) narrative. Morrison, for all the perceptive and intelligent things he's had to say about Kirby's New Gods in interviews and prefaces, never did get around to actually writing a real New Gods comic, though in fairness I have to concede the possibility that he was never given an opportunity to do so by DC.
