Shorted at my shop again. This time on the new Empowered one-shot. Now I have to wait a week, maybe two for them to get me a copy. This is growing..annoying. I really don't want to have to scan the upcoming month or two's releases just to make sure I can remain loyal to my chosen store and still get the book I want...

I'm also a bit disappointed by Knights of the Dinner Table again. Other than a nice bit involving Nitro trying to get his daughter into gaming the various strips mostly feel like they're meandering and not advancing the major plot lines...

And a final bit of disappointment in that Annihilators turns out to be a 4-issue mini, meaning only one story arc for both half-books. Though I have to say the Skottie Young cover with Groot and Rocket Raccoon is just crazy sweet...

I'd have more to say about the events in Scalped and the Unwritten but I'm too distracted by those stupid mini-comic ads for the "Super 8" movie. I actually have some interest in the movie, but those damn things are such a giant story break to all the books they've been shoved into...

Savage Dragon continues to follow Malcolm Dragon, with this issue also featuring new villain Thunderhead, son of Skullface...
