December edition
Starting in November, I ended my pull list per se, but started filling out a preorder form from Previews to order exactly what I want each month and be able to add or drop titles with less hassle. I just got the latest Previews last Tuesday as I hadn't been able to get to my lcs for a few weeks due to my work schedule, and filled out my order form earlier today and will be sending it along to the shop tomorrow. Lots of interesting stuff, but what I ended up ordering is the following:
Cemetery Beach #6 (Image) from Warren Ellis
Criminal #2 (Image) Brubaker/Phillips a no brainer order for me
Die #3 (Image) a Kieron Gillen comic about rpgs that he is actually developing the rpg featured in the game, the art looks awesome and I have been following the development of this in Kieron's newsletter for a while now
Gideon Falls #11 (Image) really digging this series from Lemire/Sorrentino
Black Hammer Age of Doom #8 (Dark Horse) more Lemire goodness
Books of Magic #5 (Vertigo)
The Dreaming #6 (Vertigo)
Green Lantern #4 (DC) I picked up #1 out of curiosity, so seeing how it goes. This will be the last I get unless the rest blow me away
Hawkman #9 really enjoyed this so far but am a couple issues behind at the moment, I need to catch up
House of Whispers #6 (Vertigo)
Lucifer #5 (Vertigo)
Wildstorm Vol. 3 (DC/Wildstorm) (I bought the first 2 in singles but missed a bunch of issues when I had surgery last year, so just picked it up in trade and now trade wait on it
Dungeons & Dragons: A Darkened Wish #1 (IDW) the creative team looks good on this so am giving it a shot, but I haven't picked up much of the IDW D&D stuff, though I read some on Hoopla earlier thismonth and really enjoyed them, so we'll see.
Savage Sword of Conan poster from Marvel-I am not ordering the Marvel Conan series through my LCS, my wife got me print subs to both Conan and Savage Sword as early Christmas gifts (they were both 40% off cover price) otherwise I would have ordered them. I did order a blank cover variant to Conan #1 from last months Previews that will be a commission sketch cover during next year's con schedule.
Red Sonja #1 (Dynamite) I haven't gotten Red Sonja in a while, but Mark Russell on Sonja has me curious so am giving this a shot.
There were a few other things that caught my eye but either my budget wouldn't fit them or I would want to see them in hand before deciding. There was a complete Alex Toth/John Buscema Roy Rogers volume solicited I considered on the basis of Toth and Buscema alone, but it was pricey and I am not a big fan of Roy Rogers, so I passed on it for now for example. There were some other trades solicited I might get too, but likely through Amazon when we get our reward gift cards through our bank rather than out of my monthly lcs budget, and some other stuff I will check out when it hits Marvel Unlimited, DC Nation, or Hoopla.
