I haven’t clicked the “submit order” link just yet, but this is pretty much what I’m looking forward to asking the comic book fairy for this month.

GOON #22
FABLES #71(M) *Special Discount*
HELLBLAZER #242(M)
JACK OF FABLES #21(M)
ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #120

As of this writing, I’ve knocked Invincible off the monthly single issue list, not because I’m done with the title but because I’ve found that it’s a much more enjoyable read in big chunks. I’ve got the first two oversized hardcovers, and I have to say that they make for a much more satisfying read, and those first two years’ worth of issues were built as much more stand alone stories. I may chicken out at the last m inute and add it back so I can get some monthly Kirkman, but I’m wavering hard on it.

Now onto the collections!

TALES OF THE FEAR AGENT
The only sci fi comic I collect on any sort of regular basis, the Fear Agent stuff is just plain fun. If you haven’t read any of them yet, I highly recommend the first volume which features the amazingly under appreciated Tony Moore’s artwork.

BOOSTER GOLD TP VOL 01 52 PICK UP HC
I didn’t even notice until just now that this is a hardcover collection - gotta be the first time Booster’s gonna rate that sort of special treatment! He better not get too used to it either, what with Geoff Johns leaving the title in ‘08. Either way, I really, really enjoyed the first issue, have always liked the character (ordered the B&W Showcase collection of his original series last month) and Johns has been firing on all cylinders for, oh, the last year or so.

STARMAN OMNIBUS HC VOL 01
A lot of people claim that the letter columns were the best part of the Starman run, and while I did enjoy that aspect of the book, it was always the series itself that I was engrossed in. Maybe DC can do a special Starman Letters collection for those guys - I’ll take this option any day.

EXTERMINATORS TP VOL 04 CROSSFIRE AND COLLATERAL
I’m genuinely pissed that DC had to cancel this title. Sure, it meanders a little bit here and there and isn’t structured like your typical comic, but while it may fall flat in monthly installments, strictly reading the collections works rather nicely. At this point, I’ll enjoy the remainder of the run and hope that the creators are able to wrap things up somewhat satisfactorily when the series ends.

SUPERNATURAL ORIGINS TP
Getting this one mainly for The Wife™, but we’re both fans of the TV show so I’m looking forward to it as well, albeit with a little trepidation.

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER LONG WAY HOME TP
Another one for The Wife™, though I’m genuinely stoked for it. Read a few issues here and there, and while it’s not quite the same as having another actual season of the show (obviously), it’s still pretty fun stuff. Ordered this off the backlist as it came out a few months back and I managed to miss it.

JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA VOL 1 HC
I’m a fan of Metzer’s superhero work and already bought the individual issues in this collection (another backlist item, but shortly thereafter flipped to buying collections only. Getting this to consolidate, basically, as I either donate or sell the originals on ebay.

So…..what’re you gonna get?
