As i was visiting my parents in Las Vegas for Thanksgiving, I went to 4 different comics shops for their Black Friday sales... goose egg. Nothing at these shops stuck my fancy. Came home to my LCS and picked up these fun books at 30% off. I believe Crimebuster is the Daredevil guru. Is this the Frazetta issue? Also, some super early Adam Hughes covers. More to come tomorrow... as uncle Howard Chaykin says: "Trust me on this"

I sometimes pick Patsy Walker or Patsy and Hedy in the Spend Your Allowance game. Good ol’ Patsy Walker! My first issue of Avengers was #144 where Patsy becomes Hellcat, and I’ve followed her on and off ever since. But it strikes me that I’ve never actually read any of Patsy’s appearances in her own comic from the old days. So I went online and ordered a cheap, low-grade copy of Patsy and Hedy Career Girls #97. Then I went online and read Patsy and Hedy #80. I hope the one I’m getting in the mail is as funny as #80. Patsy and Hedy are very delightful. I bought a lot of them back in the early 00s just to have but as I got into reading them, I really enjoyed them. Great artwork.

Found a lovely copy of Marvel Saga #22. Is it worth a lot? No.. I just love the living bejeezus out of this Romita cover.

Decent weekend of downloads - Batman & Robin #3 - Danger Street #11 - Planetary.... er, I mean Outsiders #1 - WildCATS #12 - The Man From Maybe #1 - Daredevil #3 Yeah, I'm not really sure why they didn't just call it Planetary. At first I thought it might be a rights thing and they were just using the concept, then I heard they were creating a new Drummer...and now after reading the issue it ends with Drummer uncovering the Planetary guide so it definitely seems like it's not that they can't use the name and logo. As for the plot itself? Definitely not as explosive as the original Planetary, this had way too much exposition for my liking, but I do like Lanzing and Kelly so I'm willing to give it a shot. Yeah, after reading it last night (might need to re-read to get the finer points), it was way too expository. I give them credit for trying to tie it into Planetary and the Bleed, but its reaching at straws for me to actually give a damn.

- Punisher #1 (I'm curious) - Birds of Prey #3 - Shazam #5 - Fire & Ice: Welcome to Smallville #3 How's Fire and Ice? It looked interesting but I didn't grab it when it first came out. It's a fun lighthearted book. Decent story and fun art.
