DARK HORSE COMICS

BPRD ECTOPLASMIC MAN ONE SHOT

Nick: If the name “Ectoplasmic Man” isn’t sweet enough for you, then you must have an inner fan made out of jagged spikes of poison ice.

Neal: So… Slimer stars in Pinnochio?

CHRONICLES OF CONAN TP VOL 15 CORRIDOR OF MULLAH KAJAR
CONAN THE CIMMERIAN #0

FEAR AGENT #22 1 AGAINST 1 (PT 1 OF 6)
GANTZ TP VOL 01

STAR WARS DARK TIMES #12 VECTOR PART 6

Neal: Honestly, when has the Star Wars Universe NOT been in dark times?

DC COMICS

ALL STAR BATMAN AND ROBIN THE BOY WONDER HC VOL 01

BATMAN GOTHAM AFTER MIDNITE #2 (OF 12)
BATMAN JEKYLL AND HYDE TP

SUPERNATURAL RISING SON #3 (OF 6)
TANGENT COMICS TP VOL 03

TRINITY #4
WORLD OF WARCRAFT DRAENEI PALADIN FIGURE

HOUSE OF M TP AVENGERS

Nick: This comic is about the time the Avengers TP’d the House of M. Man, that was nuts. They were chucking toilet paper and eggs at the windows when Magneto came out all pissed. Everyone ran for the Quinjet, and they took off before Hawkeye could get onboard. Clint couldn’t shoot straight for a week!

HULK #4
IMMORTAL IRON FIST #16
MARVEL 1985 #2 (OF 6)

Nick: Part two of a six issue miniseries in which Marvel pretends its 1985 all over again so they can sabotage The Dark Knight Returns and Watchmen before they hit the presses. Sorry, Marvel. Looks like you still won’t make it onto the TIME Magazine Top 100 list.

RUNAWAYS #30

Neal: A.K.A. a really crappy book that used to be cool a loooooooong ass time ago.

SECRET INVASION RUNAWAYS YOUNG AVENGERS #1 (OF 3) SI

Nick: Hey Marvel, obviously you don’t have enough teen characters in this book. You should add the Young X-Men, Generation X, the New Mutants, and both the old and new New Warriors. Now THAT would be a quality teen comic right there.

SHE-HULK 2 #30
SPIDER-MAN BY ROSS POSTER

BART SIMPSON COMICS #42
BEYOND #2 (OF 5)
BEYOND WONDERLAND #0 (OF 6)

Nick: Okay, since this starts with a #0, does that mean that it ends with #5 since it’s “(OF 6)”? Or does it actually consist of seven issues and end with #6?

CAVEWOMAN RELOADED SP ED #6
CLOCKWORK GIRL #4 (OF 4)
DEVI TP VOL 04
