"With the upcoming "Joker War", I'm dropping Batman and Detective Comics at least while that goes on. .
I'm also giving Wonder Woman the boot as I'm the build-up to this new arc has left me underwhelmed.

"FALCON & WINTER SOLDIER: Normally, this is a title which would really appeal to me. But I don’t even read the main Captain America series anymore. I didn’t even give this one a chance."
"Well it only took me 5 years, but I did pick up the other two "Watch" books. I wasn't looking too hard for them but I did see them at a Half Price Books the end of last year. I already finished Day Watch, and I thought it was very…"
""Oh, man, Jeff! I remember Illusions!"

I have become quite ruthless."
"Just finished reading Doctor Who - The Target Storybook, by various authors, including the late Terrance Dicks, Colin Baker, Matthew Waterhouse and Vinay Patel. The book consists of fifteen short stories mostly set begin, after or during…"
"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…"
