I liked Agents but it never quite clicked for me. Not sure what the problem was.
Issue one had Carlo Pagulayan and Jason Paz; issue two split the chores between Pagulayan & Paz (and Jana Schirmer) and Gabriel Hardman & Elizabeth Dismang; issue three split it between Hardman & Dismang and Clayton Henry and Jana Schirmer; issue four split it between Hardman and Henry, with both apparently inking their own work; and now issue five is back to Pagulayan & Paz. That's...a lot of artists to go through in just five issues.
Once the Great Fables Crossover is over, I'm re-dropping Jack of Fables. I'll pick up the trades when I get a chance.
Walking Dead is getting a bit wearisome. It's been a good run, but at this point I think it really should be building to a conclusion, but I don't know if Kirkman even sees the story as finite. If I don't see some signs of moving towards a climax soon, I will probably drop it and check in again if I hear it's reaching the end.

I've read Jack in trades right from the start, because I was actively moving to trades-only when it came out. It reads well that way, although it's struck me as slow-paced recently. But that would be even worse if read monthly, probably. It's a fun series, but I don't look forward to it nearly as much as Fables.
Yeah, after finally getting and reading issue six, I'm thinking I might just let Agents of Atlas quietly slide off my radar. It's not bad, but it's just not really doing anything for me. And given how tight my pulls are right now, a little breathing room isn't a bad thing.
Also, after the first issue, I'm not sure I'm going to stick with Batman: Streets of Gotham. Again, it wasn't bad, but all the different POVs felt a little too...disjointed, and when I put the book down I realized that I didn't really have a good sense of what the book would be about, and $3.99/month is more than I want to spend trying to figure that out. Which is a shame, because I love Dini's Bat-writing, especially when paired with Dustin Nguyen.

Wolverine: First Class: Ana gasped when I told her I was thinking about dropping this. But then Ana's about four months behind on her reading. The Peter David issues were missing something. I can't really describe what it is. I just know that I've been reading it from force of habit more than anything else. However, the last issue seemed better and Ana may have a say.
