Just a forewarning to everyone, don't be like me and jump to Absolute Power before reading Action Comics and Superman. I mean, I should have known better myself and it wasn't a terrible spoiler of the ending as it was always a done deal that {Spoiler: Click to show} the Superman family would beat the house of Brainac but it did take the wind out of an otherwise decent finale to the Brainiac story. Sure, it was a little bit pedestrian after all the build up but it had a fun Saturday morning cartoon feeling to it that was none the less enjoyable. As for Absolute Power itself I'll say that I love Waid and I hope he can craft a compelling event but as introductions go this was a little flat for me. It was always going to be a little bit of a hard sell as I just don't buy Waller's "Super Heroes are bad and need to go" motivation but there wasn't anything beyond that given here to make it more believable. I'm still hoping for a fun event though, haven't had one that I've enjoyed in a very long time. I want to care about this event, but I just don't... it's been done SO MANY times. Agreed. As much as I love Waid's writing, and is their best writer, but this event I can't even care for. DC's destroyed so many characters by making them not what they are, I just roll my eyes at their nonsense.

Since we're sharing Dave Stevens, here 2 of many books I have signed by him
Niceeeeeee.....did you get those done yourself?
I got my Vanguard Illustrated when it was still a cheapie at $5.....now you need a gofundme to get one....
A former coworker before he retired, bequeathed me his stack of Dave Stevens comics, since we're both comic fans. After working close together for 12 years, this was his thank you. About 30 DS books, 18 or so were signed. Dave was a friend of his. I did have my copies as well, so I have a nice half small box of Dave books.

I liked the Hawkworld series. I bound my run last year. The Hawkworld mini and the on-going. While Truman's art is amazing, Nolan's house style was good for a monthly to keep it consistant. Truman did some covers towards the end of the series. I've always prefer Katar Hol and Shayra Thal over Carter Hall.

Looks like a big week for me, sigh! No one but me to blame. Uncles Scrooge & the Infinity Dime 1 Take your pick of covers. There's a lot of them. I went with the Elizabeth Torque cover. All of them are great, even the weird stoned Scrooge Frank Miller cover. The Campbell and Laraz ones are the super rare and pricy ones. The Dell'Otto, McNiven and Simonson covers are above cover price. But you'll get a great book regardless which one you choose.

Turned all my loose change into a CoinStar and got an Amazon gift card, which I turned into the purchasing of The Batman Adventures Omnibus. What was $75 at Amazon turned into a $7 transation. But what's not to love about the Batman Adventures. It was the best Bat book in the 90s. The best artists, the stories and one of the most iconic Bat stories in the past 30 years. Can't recommend this enough
