This was a very light week for me.

Buck Rogers #0 (Dynamite Entertainment) – This is being added to my pull list, along with the new Sherlock Holmes book that was advertised in the book.

The Boys #29 (Dynamite Entertainment) – I need to switch over to trades on this. It’s not that I don’t want to get the individual issues, it’s just that I miss too many of them in a row, so while I get the gist of the stories, I ALWAYS feel as though I have missed something. Maybe if I read the whole storyline in one sitting it will make more
sense to me.

Dynamo5 #21 (Image Comics) – I’m still digging this series and since I can’t have anymore Noble Causes (by the way the second Archive will be coming out soon) this is a pretty good substitute. I take that back. This isn’t a substitute as much as it is a replacement and we all know how I feel about The Replacements.

That’s it. No DC. No Marvel. No Dark Horse. No IDW.

I stopped by a comic shop on the way home today. I asked the guy behind the counter “What have you sold the most of this week?”

He told me and I bought Dark Avengers #2.

I also picked up:
Tangent: Superman’s Reign #7

Tangent: Superman’s Reign #9

And I hit the dollar bin:
