Detective & Superman were both fine as per usual, reading Bizarro stories gives me a headache.

DD600 - maybe the biggest OMG moment since Secret Wars - not a jumping off point in any way shape or form. I figured they would resolve the whole Mayor Fisk thing, but we're not there yet. I guess I keep going issue by issue until it's done.

Spider-Man 798 - got there RIGHT at 10:00am to make sure as I'm not going through that shit again. Also they did save me a copy so I didn't have to go but anyhow.

Two in One 5. The march to Slott/Pichelli FF continues.

Batman & Superman 44 of each.

44 of each? I only got both Batman covers. Couldn’t decide. wouldn’t know what to do with 42 extra copies.
Got the 2nd Printing of ASM 797 and the new issue.
First issue of the new Sonic series for the boy.
Final issue of Capt Marvel.
That MCU Avengers oneshot. Y’know. Those books that aren’t main continuity, but aren’t MCU continuity either. They kinda play by the MCU rules, but freely borrow from main continuity when it suits the story. So, irrelevant cashgrabs that come out whenever a new Marvel movie is about to hit.
The Frank Cho Harley Quinn cover. I don’t even like Harley that much and I haven’t read more than a couple issues of ANY of her series, but I do like me some Cho art, so I’ve bought like the last 15-20 issues of her series just for his covers.
Other assorted books. 20 in total. Probably won’t read any of them.

I've picked up 2 of the recent Supergirl variant covers by Stanely "Artgerm" Lau.
Gorgeous covers.

Transformers: Redemption of the Dinobots and Rom Vs Transformers.

If IDW doesn't give Trypticon a goddamn origin story and explain why he was buried under Cybertron for eons, I will personally kick everyone involved with them in the nuts. Well, everyone except Hama and Clevinger.

Haven’t been reading it, but I think Thanos 18 was the final issue. So, either way..done.

Yeah "both" was a little over reaching. 1 of each of 2 different covers I found - the better one is Jim Lee, the other is the copy my store put aside that had some shelf wear already. If they had given me the copy I got at the other place I'd have stopped at one.
