The 2010 Running Comics Rundown
I thought it might be nice to have a running thread where we talk about new comics. Each new issue might not deserve its own thread, and each title might not be popular enough (or have enough going on in a given month) to keep a discussion going, but

I was awakened at 4:30 this morning by the sound of rushing water! It seems the supply line to my toilet broke. I caught it fairly quickly, turned the supply off and then immediately ran downstairs because I knew my comics were stored directly under

Irredeemable or Incorruptible?
I'm enjoying both of these titles from Boom! Studios, but I'm wondering if other people are enjoying them and if so, which one is your favorite?

Conspicuous by their absence in Blackest Night
Where are the New Gods? I don't recall seeing a single one of them resurrected as a zombie, and you'd think Nekron would love to have a zombie Darkseid and a zombie Orion fighting side-by-side for him. Has there been an in-story reason why they're
