It’s tricky! We wander aimlessly all over the comics map, occasionally stopping to collect our thoughts on the Comics Buyer’s Guide, the shrinking size of Diamond’s Previews catalog, the BOOM! Disney comics publishing strategy, Blackest Night #4, Warren Ellis and Planetary, even more laments from Chris over Gutsville, Wood talks cartoons (Batman: Brave and the Bold and the Wonder Woman feature film), more from David on Darkness/Pitt #1 from Top Cow, Daredevil #501, Thunderbolts, Ande Parks‘ original art collection, Terror Inc. from Marvel Max, X-Men: Die by the Sword, ideas for Diamond’s December skip week, Parker: The Hunter, Alan Davis, Library Binding, and, try as he might, no one shares Vince’s love for Dark Reign – The List: Punisher by Remender, Romita JR, Janson, and White. Forever cold and alone. So sad. Also, the requisite amount of Hotline hocum! Remender RULES!

Things get a bit serious as we ponder the price of monthly periodicals, hardcovers, digital comics, Terra #1, Agents of Atlas, G.I. Joe #0 from IDW, advertising in comics, Smallville, paper quality, Terry Moore’s Runaways and Echo, Freak Angels, Alan Davis‘ Thor: Proof of History, Warren Ellis and Avatar, the effect of the election on comics, Final Crisis: Resist, Submit, and Rage of the Red Lanterns, Watching the Watchmen, the Adventure Comics Special featuring the Guardian, X-Men/Spider-Man #1, Jeff Lemire, Ghost Talker’s Daydream volume two and coffee enemas (Okay, maybe not so serious, after all…), and a whole mess more! Plus, another hit on the Hotline!
