Ok so I've taken a look at a few this week....with still some to read.

Shadowlands part 5 is out completing the mini series and is a good one! Worth reading and getting them all especially if you like Daredevil.
Spin off from this is Heroes for Hire.....I didn't like it if honest but thats just my opinion. Issue 1 is out now.

Forgot to add last week was Superior issue 2, a new one from Mark Millar and great if you like his quirky new ideas.

Brightest Day was new out this week but wasn't great, still good for the set though.

Action Comics Annual as well......

There are a few odd little "extra" titles floating around too like Batman Orphanage but not really seen that.

Not the best of comic weks IMO but still some good stuff in there too I reckon.

Last week didn't have a chance to say.....

New Indy Comic by Joe Benitez.....Lady Mechanika....go at get it!

will catch up soon when I've read this weeks....bit thin on the ground seeing as it's xmas but what do people expect.....

Good Thunderbolts this week too btw.....

My nearest comic book store is in hebden bridge, a small town that is a bus and train ride away. Not been since summer so i need to go there again early this year and get some new stuff

[dfusioness]

oh god, it always costs a bomb when we go there

Been a little while so quick update......

Marvel have launched there .1 issues. This is meant to be a good jump on point for anyone wanted to get into new titles.
So far I have seen Iron Man (not bad but just a giant recap) Wolverine (quite good) and Spiderman.
The last one is great, if you're a Venom fan as it showcases the NEW government controlled symbiote.
Daredevil has been reborn in a new miniseries as well as Silver Surfer (both have looked really good so far) although the hulks have taken a bit of a dip. A 2 issue brief interlude and then a crappy filler issue.
X-men has created a little spin off for Wolverine and Jubilee but to understand it you really need to read X-Men: Curse of the mutants, not bad if you like vampires.
S.H.I.E.L.D has just finished their 6 part first volume (worth a peek but give it a month and I would go for picking up all 6 in one go if comic book stores are packing them together).

Brightest Day has got all good with the White Lantern starting to show its card and in other parts we are entering the prelude to the War of the Lanterns which promises to be great.
Batman is opening it's franchises with some success depending on your personal preferences and writers/artists too.
The Flash is really beginning to gear up, especially as DC's big toy for the year is "Flashpoint" in which it is hinting at a lot of what if's such as What if the spaceship didn't crash? Personally I think this is all linked to the Reverse Flash but this is yet to see.

Aspen (comic book company) are starting to really come into their own as well. New title called Charismagic for the softer hearted is on the way soon (zero issue recently) and the next issue of their stunning Lady Mechanika is out very soon.
Top Cow are still continuing the Artifacts and have finished the first chapters so to speak and it still looks gorgeous.
Millarworld has finished Nemesis (great little 4 parter but could have ended better) and Superior is still going strong.

Whirlwind tour I know but if people have questions just ask and I'll happily help

I haven't read a comic in months.  I keep buying my regular pull-list, but they just keep stacking up in my den.  At some point this Summer I'm going to turn off my tv and phone for a weekend and just snuggle up with my neglected love.
