   and my comic shop was shorted
   Solitary #1
   Squarriors #1
   Sherwood Tx. #5
   Hopefully these will come in between now and next week?

2. East of West The Word I think comes out on the 17th, not tomorrow.

   1. East of West came out here today, but Squarriors and Solitary are definitely next week.

      1. Midtown had East of West listed for next week and my local shops had them. Pick them up, both shops I visited only had a handful of them so they’ll be gone quickly.
         Squarriors and Solitary are today as well, both were at my local shops.

3. My definite pickups are:
   FBP #16 (Yeah I’m still in.. )
   Bitch Planet #1 (It’s actually a maybe. It’s going to have a bigger print run so don’t expect to flip this or anything)
   Copperhead #4 (Crime + Sci Fi = Good Stuff)
   Peter Panzerfaust #22 (I’m still hanging on.. )
   Sex Criminals #9 (Matt + Chip = Two Sexy Guys Writing/Drawing About Sex.. Yeah)
   Southern Bastards #6 (A death too soon? How often do you see the main character in the first 5 issues die by the 5th issue?)
   Walking Dead #135 (Are we gonna learn who’s behind the talking zombies?)
   Amazing Spider-Man #11 (So many new characters lately, might as well pick up just for the sheer thought of landing a quick flip.. unless you’re like me and actually enjoy reading Spider-Man still)
   Avengers #39 (Hickman + Avenger Lover = Definitely Pickup)
   Punisher #13 (It’s actually quite good, especially for Punisher longtime lovers like myself)
   Rocket Raccoon #6 (Who doesn’t like furry creatures with a gun and big mouth?)
   Thor #3 (So far it’s good.. let’s see where Aaron has up his sleeve for the new girl with Thor powers)
   Afterlife with Archie #7 (Zombies + Francavilla + Pepoy Variants = Yes Please)
   Deep State #2 (First issue was great.. of course I’m picking up #2)
   Wilds End #4 (Characters are dying now.. I sense more will die.. )

   1. And Squarriors #1..

4. Oh and is anyone else totally surprised to see Poyo in the last issue of Chew get his neck snapped? So sad.. I hope he gets resurrected somehow and goes on a killing spree! Long live Agent Poyo!

   1. cool sketch Drew! you got some skillz

      1. Thanks!

5. Deep State #2( loved the first issue)
   Eternal #1( story line already sucked me in)
   Peter Panzerfaust…always look forward to these issues

7. This week I am picking up

8. Afterlife with Archie #7…they sure killed the spec on this one with all the delays. cant even remember when the last one came out
   Batgirl #37 Darwin Cooke….I think in a couple months you’ll be able to buy all these Cooke covers for cheap, which I will be doing
   Southern Bastards #6
   Spider-verse Team up #2…go Spider-gwen!
   TMNT #41
   Walking Dead #135…I didnt realize they are taking a break! nooooooooooo

   1. and Savage Dragon #200 has a cool Kirby swipe; if it wasnt $8 I might consider getting it.

      1. I think he actually used a piece of Kirby’s art. The credit is Larsen and Kirby

      2. It’s defnitely in Kirby style

   2. Wait, they’re taking a break on Walking Dead? I know the TV is on it’s break but the comic as well? This is not acceptable.. I’m gonna write my angry letter to Kirkman now!

      1. oh, Tony must’ve been talking about the TV show and not the comic. duh. dont send your hate mail to kirkman just yet…

         1. Ah.. whew! You scared me!

            1. The show is in break not the comic.

9. I had to take it a bit easy and split my pull list for the week. Couldn’t afford another $100+ week. So here’s what I came home with:
   Amazing Spider-Man 11
   Amazing Spider-Man Annual 1 (Variant cover because that’s what was in my box)
   Amazing X-Men 14
   Copperhead 4
   Deadpool’s Art of War 3
   Deep State 2
   The Fuse 8
   New Suicide Squad 5
   Nightcrawler 9
   The October Faction 3
   Rocket Raccoon 6
   Spider-Verse Team-Up 2 (2 copies because, you know, Spider-Gwen)
   Thor 3
   I was on the fence about Squarriors 1, then my shop told me that Ashley Witter and Ash Maczko will be in-store on Sunday signing, so I put a copy back. Figure I’ll go back on Sunday, pick it up, and have them sign it.

   1. If they sell out of Squarriors before then, I’m sure they’ll be bringing in more as well.

10. Secret War 2: white cover to go with the black cover I picked up last week
    Adventure Time 33: to go with the Over the Garden Wall I picked up last week
    The Goon
    Rachel Rising
    Samurai Jack
    Sex Criminals
    Legends of Balder’s Gate: Jim Zub
    Rocket Raccoon
    Bitch Planet: Kelly Sue is local to me
    Copperhead: for my daughter as I would have dropped it already
    Guardians of the Galaxy Annual: Frank Cho
    Shutter 7: Cho cover
    Southern Bastards

    1. The Frank Cho Guardians is on my second set of pick ups this week.
