"Years ago my friend and LCS owner failed to order one of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen books because Diamond had it abbreviated LXG."
"I decided today that, while the first issue interested me, I'll probably either wait for the trade for The Dollhouse Family, or a Comixology sale, or it'll slip my mind altogether. It's a fine comic, totally on-brand for Vertigo (even…"
"CEREBUS IN HELL?: I’m about to drop this one. At best, these are comics I will likely never read again. The parody covers are the best part; the strips themselves are really all that funny. I allowed myself to fall four issues behind. I got…"
"I've got a couple books that are not exactly on the chopping block... but I'm shifting how I'll buy them. I've decided to shift a couple things from print to digital. Green Lantern: Black Stars looks like a good point to start…"
"Found my mother's old copy of My Imitation of Christ, by Thomas a Kempis. "
"THE PROPHET by Kahlil Gibran:
Last week I bought a used HC for a buck and yesterday I read it over lunch (most of it, anyway; I left off with the section on Good and Evil. This is one of those books I have always heard about but never read. I'm…"
"This summer I attempted reading all four volumes of The Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe.
I finished Shadow of the Torturer and The Sword of the Lictor and just lost steam/interest.
I tried. I really did..."
"I bought the first issue of The Terrifics and decided to trade-wait based on word of mouth.
Guess I can stop "waiting.""
"I dropped The Terrifics, too, in the hope that the Superman Giants would continue reprinting them after Lemire left. I liked what Yang was doing when I left, and might go back to read the rest of his issues. I'm really enjoying Young Justice…"
"Some of my recently cut series:
The Terrifics - I definitely stuck with this series longer than I would have, simply because I liked the entire team. It never reached the level I hope for.
Young Justice - It just never clicked with me, and I found…"
"Yeah, I love Lemire, but I can see how he's not everybody's cup of tea. Different strokes and all that. I realize many people feel that way toward Bendis, and I absolutely love what he's done with the Superman books. I guess we all…"
"Sounds like your feelings about Andreyko are similar to my feelings about Lemire. A lot of acclaim, but I just don't see the appeal.Another book I'm going to let slide off my pull list is Justice League Dark. I'll probably continue to…"
"I don't think I have ever actually enjoyed anything that Marc Andreyko has written. I couldn't get into his Manhunter series, and as a result, I don't find myself all that intrigued by the character at all. I think of him as someone…"
"I just cut The Terrifics from my pull list. I liked the first issue by Gene Yang more than the Lemire issues...but it looks like I missed the second issue of his story...or I have it somewhere in the house and never read it. Either's possible.…"
"I'm currently reading Way Point by Clifford D Simak, I'm not too far into it yet, but it is about a Civil War veteran who comes back home, and he is visited by an alien who wants to make his house a way station (duh) for alien…"
