Skitch Commentary – Huntress 6 should be a very interesting comic this week if it leads into Worlds’ Finest like I am expecting it to.

– Pretty simple week. Batman, Animal Man, Swamp Thing, and a bunch of last month’s books. And Justice League Beyond!!

– Fairest sounds pretty cool. I am way behind on Fables, but I do plan on catching up eventually.

– Wayne Casino Chips! These were a really cool giveaway at San Diego Comic Con, and they were pretty damn stingy with them. I had to basically beg Jim Lee and Bob Harras to get a black chip.

Grey Commentary – Is Action Comics finally back on track? The Legion was nice, but I want the first story to end already.

– ANIMAL MAN!

– Is this the first week of Ann Nocenti on Green Arrow? I hope so.

Skitch Commentary – Yep! Really looking forward to this (though Arrow dropped to my wait a monthlist mostly because so many of the Wave 2 books seem to be week 1 releases)

Grey Commentary – JLI has been fun but so far unspectacular, I’m waiting for that to happen, I mean, it’s Jurgens, it has to happen sooner than later.

– Red Lanterns has been one of my most disappointing books. It’s not bad, it just doesn’t ever go anywhere. The book has made next to no forward progress in the first half of a year, and it really needs to get on that.

Skitch Commentary – I can’t believe you are still reading Red Lanterns! As much as I love Green Lantern, Green Lantern Corps, and New Guardians, I could not stick with Red Lanterns at all. THAT is dedication!

Grey Commentary – It’s me being too lazy to drop it. And me LOVING Bleez.

Grey Commentary – I’ve been waiting for this AoA ongoing for a few months now, and I mean, sure, there’s a fair chance that it will just irk the long time reader and AoA fan in me, but if it winds up awesome? That’s what I really want to see.

Skitch Commentary – Age of Apocalypse I would probably be more excited about it if I didn’t think the story from Point One was just so dull. When I think AoA, those are not characters that I want to read about.

Grey Commentary – I’m giving AoA a shot really just because it’s David Lapham spinning out of Rick Remender. It’s as non-traditional as they could get.

– Avengers Academy vs Runaways!

– Holy shit, Children’s Crusade is finally ending? Really? Are they going to say the delays were to sync it with Avengers vs X-Men?

– Defenders has been far more fun that I was expecting, and while it hasn’t fully redeemed Fraction after Fear Itself in my eyes, it’s on the right track.

– Toy Story? Really?

Skitch Commentary – Yeah! Toy Story! SOME OF US have five year olds who read comics in the house. Kira has basically shredded her Incredibles magazine she’s read it so much!

Grey Commentary – – Uncanny X-Men is awesome, but I just want to point out that the book launched in November and we’re at issue 8 already. Really? Really, Marvel?

– Winter Soldier is Brubaker doing what he does best…thank God.

Skitch Commentary – For once I am actually glad about Spider-Man’s absurd release schedule since enjoyed last issue so much and didn’t want to have to wait to read the next part.

– Probably going to have an all Spider-Man review week with Ultimate and Amazing Spider-Man.
