I think July worked out pretty well since was only for two weeks.

And it is here ladies and gentlemen. Final Crisis 3! This better be the turning point as it goes off for about a month to have tie-ins for the month.

Also we get some Batman RIP tie ins and Trinity. And sure there is stuff on the marvel side.

As before, http://www.diamondcomics.com/shipping/newreleases.txt

DETECTIVE COMICS #847 RIP
FINAL CRISIS #3
NIGHTWING #147
ROBIN #176
TRINITY #10

Some cool covers for the week.

As the oh so knowledgable Earl (pfft) advised, I need to get started on the Crises, including Infinite Earths, etc.

I'm just warming up to DC, but that's because I haven't tried to read all the other junk from superheroes no one knows about it.

For the record, I abhor Superman and The Flash.

Reread the first two issues of Final Crisis last night and things made a little more sense.

Almost finishing with getting up to date on the Brand New Day Spidey comics.

Safe to say I'm actually somewhat impressed.

So Final Crisis. Has had a big leap. And curious where the rest of the series goes.

RIP tie-ins were cool, but the big event is next week.

Dead Utopia #1 is being sold at Midtown Comics in Manhattan and I believe another NYC comic shop. If anyone is in the area and would like me to have more work in the future, you can buy a copy...or steal one. Has to sell out at Midtown for there to be an issue two. ......it has a nice looking cover.

The Watchmen is amazing so far. I had no idea there would be little back stories at the end of each chapter, it's a nice touch.

Color scheme is genius.

So I finally finished this god forsaken Watchmen so now Fox and Swan can get off my back.

Took me 2 months to read 4 issues and read 8 in one night. Go figure.

Picked up my comics today.

The most recent Secret Invasion had a nice shot at Steve Jobs

I got to say that DC has some of the most interesting villains around.

Aside from their big guns like Luthor and Joker and stuff.

Reading Final Crisis: Rogue's Revenge reminds me that just because you are evil or deemed a villain does not mean you are not complex.

Reminds me of The Secret Six/Villains United. Both of which I loved as well.

I'm sure a lot of you have read Y: The Last Man already. But if you haven't, please do so for it is amazing.
