Felt like a bigger week than it was as I didn't make it to the shop last week and had 2 weeks of stuff to pick up today, but stuff from this week (I think):

Fire & Ice 3 (I was shocked to see this, it was so late I thought the series got cancelled along with all the other Frazetta series form Opus but I forgot this was Dynamite)
Amazing Spider-Man 260 Facsimile
Batman The Long Halloween: The Last Halloween 0
Catwoman 68
Crisis on Infinite Earths 6 Facsimile
EC Epitaphs from the Abyss 3
Gatchaman Galactor 2
Jay Garrick Flash tpb
Multiverse Collision Detection 1
Nightwing Vol. 5 tpb
Superman 18
Witchblade 3
Wonder Woman 13
X-Men 4

there were a couple other trades that came in for me, but I held off until mext week for them but they were GL by Johns Vol. 2, Batman by Morrison Vol. 1 and Detective Nocturne Vol. 3. I'll get those on m next trip in to the lcs.

Batman: The Last Halloween was a solid start ( The zero issue is a reprint of 2021's Long Halloween Special but three years is longer then I thought as it seemed new to me despite having read it before) but it'll be weird seeing it continue with out Sale's art. There are some really amazing artists lined up to finish the story but so much of what I loved about Long Halloween and Dark Victory was the art. Still, Loeb can craft a fun adventure so I'm looking forward to it none the less.

I think Darth Vader #50 was a much better wrap up of the OT stories Marvel has been doing than Star Wars #50. Rather than feeling like a weird "special" like Star Wars it managed to tie up the various plot points in a way that felt like an organic part of the over all story and not just of the comics but also dovetailing into the films as well.
It's interesting, Darth Vader has consistently been one of the best books not only in sales but in quality as well but with the run time its had now they've pretty much explored Vader's whole career at this point so I'm not sure you could do another ongoing. Sure, you could do mini-series about small events that weren't covered before but it would hard to do another monthly on going which has to have the bean counters at Marvel a little worried.

What do you replace that consistent revenue stream with ? A Boba Fett on going maybe?

Superman was surprisingly good once again, I'm really hating the event but this tie-in team up with Zatana worked really well. I tried Wonder Woman but despite an interesting enough concept it just devolved into too much typical King nonsense for me to keep up with. He's one of those writers that's clearly very talented but he really needs and old school editor who will say no to him and reign in his worst habits...and sadly those don't seem to exist anymore. The Trinity back ups are pretty great and DC seems to know there's an audience for that as I've been loving that they have been collecting them into specials so I don't need to buy the main book just for the awesome Wonder Tot back up.
