One of the benefits of being employed is being able to afford comic books. Here is my new pull list with Detroit Comics:
The Perhapanauts (Image Comics): Probably the most underrated book being printed by one of the big companies. On top of being underrated, it is also one of the most fun.
Proof (Image Comics): There are a few elements that are very similar to The Perhapanauts, but in a much grittier way.
The Sword (Image Comics): The Luna Brothers are “go-to”s for me. Meaning, if they put it out, I’m in it for the long haul.
Madame Xanadu (Vertigo): Oddly, this is the only thing that I will be getting on a regular basis from either of the Big Two.
Nexus - (Rude Dude Productions) [not the Dark Horse stuff]: Nothing against the reprints that DH is doing, but I have the vast majority of that stuff and want to see where the story is heading.
Dynamo 5 (Image Comics): I am chuffed that Noble Causes is no more (Thanks to Barry Nugent for introducing me to the word ‘chuffed’), but this is a good substitute.
True Story Swear To God (Image Comics): One of my favorite comic books. Period.
The X-Files (Wildstorm): I have always liked the comic book version of the show than the actual TV show itself, so why not check it out?
The Walking Dead trades (Image Comics): I started reading it in trade and I see no reason to go to single issues. And I don’t want to wait for the super deluxe hardcover editions. This is perfect for me.
Atomic Robo (Red5 Comics): I like the stuff that Red5 puts out, but I cannot afford to get it all, so I want to get the best of the best. That includes this title.
Neozoic (Red5 Comics): See Atomic Robo.
Fell (Image Comics): Even if it didn’t cost $1.99, even if I didn’t do the Fellcast, even if none of that stuff matters, I would still have this on my pull list because there is only so much ass to kick and this book has the market cornered.
Love & Rockets: The New Stories (Fantagraphics): I love Love and Rockets. I would rocket it too, if I knew what that meant.
Potter’s Field (BOOM! Studios): This is one of the books that made me a Mark Waid fan and it only took about twenty years.
The Boys (Dynamite Entertainment): One of the funniest comic books out there and I don’t necessarily like funny comic books.
Groom Lake (IDW): I have seen some of the Ben Templesmith artwork and if that wasn’t enough to sell me on the project, my buddies over at 11 O’Clock Comics sweet talked me into getting it.
This list may change depending on what DC decides to do with the Legion, what Matt Wagner decides to do with Grendel and of course, when the next part of the Mage saga comes out.

Most people who know me know that I am a sucker for oversized comic books. Not stuff like Absolutes because those just seem like books that happen to have comic book drawings in them. I’m talking about the big oversized Treasury books like the Legion of Super-Heroes book that featured the Wedding of Saturn Girl and Lightning Lad, or the Howard The Duck book that featured Howard and the Defenders taking on Black Hole, Tillie The Hun and those other guys or those books that reprinted classic comics like All Star Comics #3 and Whiz Comics #2.

All good stuff that brings back a lot of memories from my childhood. I remember seeing the ads for these things in DC and Marvel books from the 70s and wanting every last one of them. Unfortunately as I grew older, getting them just never became a priority.
There is apparently a site that revolves around these books and it is called TreasuryComics.com. I have already spent a lot of time today just clicking through and reading the reviews of a bunch of books that I wish I had.
I like the fact that they have also mentioned the ones that DC did in the late 90s and early 00s. I had no idea that I was missing one of the Dini/Ross books until I checked this site out. This is a great reference site with lots of pretty pictures.
Check it out if you get a chance.

A few months ago, I borrowed The Legion of Super-Heroes Archives Volumes 2 through 8 from my good friend Chris Marshall from The Collected Comics Library. My plan was to read them all and to somehow fit a LSH podcast into my schedule. However, before I could pull the trigger on my plan, two of my favorite podcasters teamed up with two of their friends to create the Legion of Substitute Podcasters podcast.
I still plan on finishing the Archives because I eventually have to get them back to Chris (or at the pace I’m going, his estate), but in the meantime I will fit the LSP into my podcast listening rotation and save myself a bunch of time.
