Terminator Salvation: The Final Battle #8,
Angel & Faith #5 and Buffy the Vampire Slayer #6 for me. Emily & the Strangers #3 for my adolescent daughter. And a couple of big tickets item for fun: Blacksad: Amarillo hardcover and Usagi Yojimbo Volume 1.
Probably just Dark Horse Presents and Brain Boy for me... though I pick up Usagi trades now and then, and really need to get around to trying Blacksad.
Tempted by Dark Ages and Edgar Allan Poe's Spirits of the Dead.
Might get the Usagi collection and mini as I never read him before.
Definitely Groo Vs Conan and Star Wars.
Blacksad is awesome. YOu should probably start with one of the first two, though, to get a sense of it.
