Big week for me:

Action (Googlie eyes be damned, it's Grant Morrison Superman and I'm sticking this out until my face melts from awesomeness or disappointment when Morrison leaves and I'm unfulfilled)
Sweet Tooth
Animal Man
Swamp Thing
Uncanny
OMAC! (begins to tear up)
JLI (On the block, as I am really upset with the complete lacquering over of Booster's character into a stereotypical leader-who-is-unsure-of-himself-but-actually-a-good-guy, but it is JLI and how can I say no to my youth and its desire to hear just one more Bwahaha, perchance to dream...)
and preordered Manhattan Projects from TFAW! so will get that when I get it.

Also, what's peoples' opinion on Hell Yeah? I'm intrigued, but unsure especially since I caved the other day and started buying Bulletproof Coffin instead of waiting for the trade.

I'm waiting on a combination of critical reaction and the $1 digital price-drop in a month.

Love me the Dollar Price Drop. Hate me my impatience.

I'm quite liking it. The first issue started a little slowly for Bru/Phillips's usual stuff but the second issue helped carry it through, but that's a case of them having more than the usual 5 issues to spread the story through.

How are they pacing it anyways? The Image site seems to have it down as an ongoing series, but wouldn't that totally mess up their thing with Criminal and Incognito?

Also, I forgot to mention it because I ordered it off Amazon, but I'm am so excited to read King City.

Everything I've read is that it's at least 12 issues. I have a feeling it's going to be a while till they get back to Criminal & Incognito.

Ah, that sounds right. I kinda hope it's its own thing, instead of something they alternate between the other two. I've only read the big trade of Criminal and I didn't really care for Incognito.

Not a huge Jonathan Hickman fan, but tempted to pick up this Test Pattern digital omnibus that includes all of Pax Romana, The Nightly News, Red Mass For Mars, Trans Human & Red Wing, plus the first issue of The Manhattan Projects for $35,

I don't follow Hickman, but I've liked a fair amount of what I've read, and am really excited for Manhattan Projects, but I only have an iPhone as a digital reader and I dont know if I want to read a digital omnibus on my phone. If I could, and the reader worked like it does on my phone, read it on my computer it would be a no brainer for me. (As an aside, does anyone know why you can't read comixology on a computer, I mean, I payed for a digital file why not be able to read it at home too, on a bigger screen, even if you don't have a Kindle or iPad?)

Wait, what? I read Comixology stuff on my desktop all of the time.
