What’s in my next DCBS shipment? – 6/24/09

First I would like to plug Discount Comic Book Service, they have to be the A #1 comic mail order service that I have ever dealt with.? They certainly have the best customer service of any online retailer I have ever dealt with hands down.? They also have the best prices I have ever seen on a consistent basis, and unbelievable specials that can’t be beat by anyone else.

With that out of the way, here is what I have shipping out today, which usually show up on the Friday after.? DCBS ships fast!

DESTROYER #3 (OF 5) – Yeah that’s right a Marvel Comic.? Its written by Robert Kirkman, so that is why I ordered it.? Its a great series, and I am really enjoying it.? Especially after I learned more about the character, being Stan Lee’s first character and all.

STAR TREK WRATH OF KHAN #2 – KHAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNN!? Need I say more?

BATMAN STREETS OF GOTHAM #1 – I am still not sure about this comic, from what I have heard I probably won’t stick with this one, but the first issue was on special for real cheep so I will give it a try at least.

OUTSIDERS #19 – Peter Tomasi has been kicking ass on this title.? I love the concept and the characters on this book and look forward to reading it every month.

ACTION COMICS ANNUAL #12 – Greg Rucka has been doing pretty good with these characters and I have been enjoying the stories for the most part.? I am looking forward to this issue since its going into the origin of this version of Nightwing and Flamebird.

CAPTAIN AMERICA #600 – Yeah I know, another Marvel comic, and I also fell for the miscalculated renumbering sales scheme.? I was curious, so sue me.

SGT ROCK THE LOST BATTALION #6 – I really have been enjoying this series, and I have been sharing it with my Dad, he has liked it too.? He is a history buff so its right up his alley.

ZORRO #14 – Have been enjoying this comic, and sharing it with my Dad as well.? Though I have to admit its to get a “old hat” lately and not much really new for the character.

INVINCIBLE #63 – Consistently one of the best comics I read right now, Robert Kirkman really knows how to write comics that grab you and suck you in!

PROJECT SUPERPOWERS CHAPTER TWO #0 Except for the fact that this was cheap, I am not really sure why I bought this one.? Chapter One was interesting, but with today’s market and my need to cut down on what I buy, i doubt I will continue past this.

NEXUS AS IT HAPPENED TP VOL 01 I always wondered about this character, so I thought i would give this a try.? I didn’t catch that this was in black and white though, so I am kinda pissed I bought it, I don’t really care for b&w reprints.

SUPERMAN #689 – I never thought I would see Mon-El in Superman like this.? I am not too keen on how he is being written, but it does make sense on how they are portraying Daxamites the last few years.? I am still enjoying the story in any case.

SUPERGIRL #42 – I am so glad that they changed the direction of this character to what it is now, Supergirl is finally worthy of wearing the S.? I have been enjoying this story as well and how it plays with the other Superman stories.? Though I question the numbering now, it hasn’t really seemed to matter from what I have been reading.

GREEN LANTERN #42 – Geoff Johns is kicking some major ass on this comic! I look forward to reading this and the GL Corp every month and the more build up to Blackest Night I read, the more I think its actually going to be really good.? With Johns behind the wheel, I am confident it will be.

DETECTIVE COMICS #854 – Looking forward to reading more Greg Rucka in this comic.? He seems to be ideal to write these kind of stories and I am really interested to see what he does here with Batwoman.? The Question back up stories (I’ll call them what the hell I want, im paying for it!) should be great, I have really liked what he has done with this character so far.

JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #34 – No offense to Len Wein, but this title just went to the crapper thanks to editorial manhandling.? I am pretty sure this is my last issue, if not one more.? Just been ordering it out of habit.

JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA #28 – I already miss Geoff Johns on this book, his run was awesome.? Jerry Ordway really knows these characters, so I am willing to give him a chance.? So far I have liked what I have seen.

FARSCAPE DARGOS LAMENT #3 – I am a HUGE Farscape fan and I have really enjoyed what Boom has put out so far, but I am going to trades after this series.? The price of the single issues are just too expensive compared to the price of a trade.? I can even seeing my self selling/giving away my singles of what I have so far and getting the trades to replace them.? I want to support Farscape, but I don’t want to go broke doing it.

Well that is just about it, except the latest Previews in the box of course.? See you next time!
