Games of Death is going to be amazing.

It's like that Punisher vs. Marvel Universe comic.

Dark Reign one-shots that I missed.

Those don't exist. The only two I know of is that overpriced "Dark Reign Files" which SEEMS cool, but then again there's this thing called Wikipedia that doesn't cost me 5 dollars. Also, Secret Invasion Dark Reign or whatever the "transition" comic was where they covered the Dark Illuminati.

I picked up Agents of Atlas, a trusted source told me it was a good read. From what I can gather the group is posing as "super villains" since the super villains are posing as "super heroes" which I thought was amusing. I also picked up a couple missing issues of Thunderbolts and I grabbed ALL of Iron Man's dark reign arc.

There was also a one-shot called Dark Reign: New Nation

Something tells me...you and I could talk about Dark Reign forever. I'm liking how its sort of a cross-over event but its not being crammed down our throats. Part of me would like for them to build on this for a solid year before having a huge cross-over, but I'm thinking they are probably planning for one this summer involving it.

Mongo · **Posted:** Mon Mar 16, 2009 12:00 am

I'm sure we can, and I'm sure we will lol. I'm sure they are shooting for some big summer event, but we'll see. I hear something big is going on with X-Men this summer.

Waste my money on the Resident Evil comic. Should have known it would be crap, but bought it anyway. Picked that up with a few Bat books because I am curious about Battle for the Cowl. Also bought the first 2 books of Ed Brubaker's Incognito because I'm curious (but have yet to read). Going to take a few weeks off from buying I think because I have now spent far to much lately on games and now my next few checks are going towards bills, an oil change, film shoots and saving up for Comicon.

Link · **Posted:** Tue Mar 17, 2009 10:40 am

The Resident Evil comic was... iffy. Although I swear I read a file in RE5 about how a group of BSAA soldiers met up with some heavily evolved B.O.W.s in a cave somewhere. So the comic MAY be canon.

Azrael Death's Dark Knight #1 (of 3), $2.99
Outsiders #16, $2.99
Vigilante #4, $2.99

Amazing Spider-Man #588, $3.99

I spend too much on comics, and I'm going to have to make a cut somewhere... I don't want to 100% stop Outsiders or Zombies That Ate The World, and I may avoid the Azrael mini-series. We'll have to see.

Games of Death got confused with some other thing like Deadpool vs. Marvel Universe.

Blah. It was okay, but I could've gone without reading it. There were at least 4 or 5 pages in a row where I didn't even crack a smile.

Payne · **Posted:** Wed Mar 18, 2009 7:13 pm

More german Batman R.I.P.
The first paperback like issue of Trinity

Yeah, it was pretty whatever. I didn't enjoy it anywhere near as much as other Deadpool stuff. It just didn't bring anything to the table, it just seemed like a bs issue that happens after a huge arc right before they start setting up the next one. I'm just wondering why it got to be its own one-shot. Kinda weird.

Rusty · **Posted:** Fri Mar 20, 2009 10:24 am

I hadn't been to the store in over a month, so I had a bunch of stuff that I picked up. If there is no issue number beside the comic, thats probably forgot which issue number it is.

Deadpool #8
Spawn #189
Punisher #3
Punisher Max
Star Wars: Legacy
Dark Avengers #3
Hellboy
Bad Dog #2
Resident Evil #1
Ghost Rider #33
Thunderbolts #130
The Stand: American Nightmare #1
Deadpool: Games of Death

Tarot: Witch of Black Rose? The one which is like "SAMATHA, YOU HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE! YOUR VAGINA IS HAUNTED!"?

...You'd think they'd stop after that issue.

Rusty · **Posted:** Fri Mar 20, 2009 11:19 pm

Forgot to put Secret Warriors #2 on my list. I'm really diggin it so far.

Mongo · **Posted:** Sat Mar 21, 2009 10:28 am
