Did anyone have trouble picking up the Obama Amazing Spider-Man variant?

I betcha it ain't displayed at cover price at my LCS... assuming I see it...

The publicity is good for comics, but I'm not crazy about the gimmick. Savage Dragon used Obama first right? I hear (seriously) that Obama will be on a cover of Youngblood coming up next. Ridiculous.

What other celebrities should they put on comic covers to boost sales? Gah.

Light week.

DMZ #38
Wasteland #23

BPRD: Black Goddess 1
Solomon Kane 4
Green Lantern Corps 32

Amazing Spider-Girl #28 - Two more issues to go after this one, I don't know that I'll follow it to a back up in Spider-Man Family.

Amazing Spider-Man #583 - The Romita cover, this week Peter's Date Nite, next week Romita Jr. & Guggenheim start!

E-Man: Curse of the Idol - Another Digital Webbing one-shot, the first two were fun, so why not.

Green Lantern Corps #32 - I'm enjoying the GL books, they're off in their own little universe.

There were no Obama Variants at my LCS(not that I really cared), but plenty of the Romita cover. They're going to get 2nd prints of the Obama cover next week.

Final Crisis 6
Booster Gold (Enemy Ace! Whoo!)
The Odyssey
Action Comics 873
Fables 80

Not much for me this week, but a few books I'd really been looking forward to, including GIJOE and Battlestar Galactica Cylon War. (still waiting for the last issue of the last BSG miniseries though, it's been strangely delayed)

I did pick up G.I. Joe #1 on a whim, of course I missed something by not getting the 0 issue, but I may give the 2nd issue a shot...

I also picked up Faces of Evil: Solomon Grundy (G. Johns, S. Kolins)... waste of time IMO.

ASM lead story was enjoyable... a fun and warm Pete/Betty story. ASM backup was what it was. Thought the John Romita cover was a huge miss for such a big selling, hyped issue. Art was okay, but mentioning "cougars"? Tacky.

ASG remains one of my fav books. Great issue. To bad it ends at #30. Superb cover!

Final Crisis was decent even though I'm stilled confused with a lot of what is going on. This issue actually seemed tighter and more comprehensible than previous issues. I liked it well enough. Hated the Supergirl versus perverse Mary Marvel stuff, but loved the Tawny versus Kalibak (IIRC) fight. Of course, this being a major DC crossover book, someone had to get disenboweled.

Yeah, I was surprised to see the 0 mentioned like that.

It was only 6 pages, and that issue was only 99cents, shouldn't be too hard to track down. It also contains 6 page previews for the other 2 series, good way of letting you get a feel for them.

I have no interest in the Chuckles miniseries, and the Origins one looks a bit iffy, at the moment. (Toyfare also had pages from it )

Basically in the 0 issue, the Joes intercept a boat with illegal arms, and get a mysterious name behind it: COBRA.

That's it, and I don't see why that couldn't have been mentioned in issue 1, as that's all it was, yet they made it sound like something more.

House Of Mystery vol1: Room And Boredom. (Vertigo)
(#1 to #5)
Awesome stuff.
Bought it because i loved #9 i bought last week.
Definitively a serie i will follow.

Me, too. I think I might like this if I understood what was happening.

"stilled"

I need an editor.
