@jerichobp - Problem with your plan is, I only want half of those books you mentioned, and I'll drop them as opposed to paying $20-$30 when I don't want half of the product.

For the record, my POTW was Darwyn Cooke's "The Spirit" #6. Actually, I'm a little behind on my reading... 

Nice article.  I think you answered your own question, though, in your Star Trek: TNG example.  Conflict = story.  No conflict, no story.  If you're telling a story in a comics, which is a genre that, at its core, is about people in colorful costumes beating each other up, then envisioning a setting for that story where conflict is not present (such as a Utopian future) will...

Where's Galactus?

@Labor - Well said. @SuperMoore - Marvel released a trade paperback called "Secret Invasion: The Infiltration" that compiles all the supposedly "key" build-up books over the past few years.  Aside from that, reading "New Avengers" in its entirety is probably the best thing to do (perhaps "Mighty Avengers" as well).  And I would also love to h...

Seven books this week after a ten book week?  Boy, these weekly titles are killer on the wallet.  Most anticipated: Garth Ennis wraps up his "Punisher" run.  Best... Punisher... ever. BQ:  Really?  You think I'm serious?  I really never saw myself as being so serious... this is really going to take some introspection.  Thanks for drawing my attent...

Another artist leaves us too young.  Condolences and prayers.

Let me say this... I just re-read the original "Sentry" mini and the "Sentry" issues of New Avengers... much as I love Bendis (and as many of you know I do love the Bendis) he has misfired with this character, primarily by making what has happened to him recently unclear.  (That second Jenkins mini didn't help, either.)  The other problem... to me, it's never been...

Light week.  6 books.  I'm probably most into "Green Arrow/Black Canary" and "Captain Britain".  But, I missed "Kick-Ass" and "Nightwing" last week so I'll try to pick those up.  Won't cry if I don't. BQ: I'm also going to go with DC in August.  My sister and her family live in the Virginia/DC area, and my wife and daughter and ...

I love film scores.   I've been buying them for years (I listened to no pop music in high school but owned the Danny Elfman score to "Men in Black".)   Now they pull double duty for me as a teacher, as I find they are the greatest thing to listen to while reading essays and grading papers.   I just bought the scores for "Crystal Skull" and "Iron Ma...
