October 5th, 12th, and 19th Pull List: This Shit is Going to Cost Me

I have been irresponsible in purchasing these comics by week. Now I have to go and buy three weeks of comics. I hope not to have much trouble getting all the comics I want since they should be reserved for me, though I can't remember exactly what my reserve list says, but it shouldn't be too far off the below.

Let's do this week by week:

October 5

• Action Comics - I am really excited about this one. I like the reduced powers Superman. And to see him in the hands of government is a promising story.
• Animal Man - From what I've seen, this comic is going to get messed up. Love it.
• Swamp Thing - I'm hoping Swamp thing is actually in this one.

October 12
Oh crap, this month had a stack. Might need to get one of those payday cash loans for tonight.

• Batgirl - I like Batgirl as a character. Looking forward to more self deprecating inner monologue. I have a feeling this comic might be a little more serious though, dealing with the complications of her PTS.
• Batwoman - I can't wait to look at this comic. Might also read it too.
• Frankenstein - This is one of those, I hope this book changes my mind scenarios.
• Green Lantern - Haha. Oh Green Lantern. People like you, I'll see if I can get it.
• Resurrection Man - I'm curious to see where this one goes. I'm wonder how the demon school girls plan to cosplay this month. Maybe french maids?
• Suicide Squad - I'm intrigued by the, kill the entire stadium thing. Please explain #2. Also, let's see some more of that shark guy.

October 19
Good golly. Do you really think this is a good idea? I had plans this weekend.

• Batman - This is the Batman I chose, and I'll give him a chance. Every other comic I've read him, he's a narrative device. I'm hoping Batman might actually be a character here. Might need a DC encyclopedia to understand the history of all his sidekicks though.
• Birds of Prey - I'll give this one another shot. Not a lot of enthusiasm for it though. Might feel better if more of the team is involved.
• Catwoman - Big shit storm of the month award aside, I really dug Catwoman, which I discussed at length. She's funny, in charge, developed, and the comic is obsessed with her body, like almost every other DCnew52 comic was about their female characters. *cough cough Voodoo cough*
• Wonder Woman - I'm hoping there is less equestrian sacrificial transformations this month. Run sheepies, run!

What is 13 times $3?

Fuck it. It's for my art!

Tomorrow's Shopping List: Sept. 14, 2011

There is some sort of shark man on this team. Um, can he swim through concrete, because I remember those guys.

Looking over what's set to release this week, my eyes go a little fuzzy. Who is Deathstroke, or Legion? Could Mister Terrific really be that terrific if he can't come up with a better moniker than Mister Terrific. I don't know what his powers are, but I bet they are more specific than simply being terrific.

I recognize the Green Lantern and Batbrand books, but they don't garner much interest for me. I read about the Blackest Night on Wikipedia and it put me off Lanterns pretty good, and while I do like Batman, reading the description of Batman and Robin, I get lost after Damien Wayne. And Batwoman? Is she different than Batgirl?

I thought the point of the reboot was to help people that are put off by the backlog of continuity. Maybe I'm just too lazy too look this stuff up. But whose fault is that DC? Hmm?

I do recognize Frankenstein Agent of Shade though, but only because a) Frankenstein, drr, and b) Jeff Lemire is writing this one too.

But on to what I'm planning on picking up tomorrow:

• Frankenstein Agent of Shade (I'm sure this will be sold out by the time I get there but I can always try)
• Batwoman (put my confusion where my eyes are)
• Suicide Squad (I'm hoping a the villain ops team proves to be worth reading, but really hoping Harley Quinn keeps her clothes on)
• Resurrection Man (mainly because his powers sound weird)
• maybe Legion Lost if it looks good in a flip through

There we go. God knows what I'll be coming home with.

I think I'm going to start calling myself Mister Better-than-Average. Better-than-Average Boy?
