New Comics Day 11/19

Man, I really suck at sticking to a budget. But then who needs food when you can have some Walt Simonson Thor? Specifically the Visionaries: Thor: Walter Simonson book collecting issues #337-348 of his legendary series. Also Amazon delivered my Giffen/Dematties/Maguire hardback of Justice League International vol.3 and only a week later than everyone else. Why do I pre-order again? Oh well, it still beats out Diamond who failed to ship my LCS Empowered vol.4 again...

But on to happier things, like the weekly pulls. Starting with Dynamo5. Where Scrap's new team may be out-matched by a villain crew recruited specifically for their skills in hero-killing...

Also Invincible cuts away from its titular lead to look in on Omni-Man and Allen the Alien as they stage a jail break from the Viltrumite prison. Oh look, someone getting punched so hard their head implodes and their brain flies out. Never change Kirkman, never change...

Ex Machina finishes up would-be costumed stalker Trouble's story. And Kremlin begins his final plan to bring down Hundred and force him back on the "right" path...

And more Giffen with Ambush Bug Year None. The death of a tyrant! The vanishing of a hero! The laundering of a sock!

Then Gunn's "plan" in Angel: After the Fall bears fruit. And by fruit we mean horrible, horrible destruction. Stupid vampire Gunn...

And we finish up with the always delightful and fun The Age of Sentry. The first half is Jeff Parker penned, Nick Dragota drawn tale of super-powered hillbillies. And the second is husband/wife team of Paul Tobin and Colleen Coover giving us a tale of love struck alien cops and Millie the Model. Comics needs more Coover drawn Millie...

about pre-ordering... in all the stories i've heard regarding it, i have never *ever* heard of anyone getting the merch on the day of release. ever. the only advantage i can see is that you get the honor of paying less to get it delivered to your door after everyone else picked it up in the store a week ago.

i guess i just don't get it.

To be fair, less can be anywhere from 10-40% less. I had to wait forever for my Starman Omnibus, but I saved around twenty dollars...
