August 4 sees an old world return for take two, a motley crew running through and a sad boy getting blue.

Marvel 1602: The New World #1 continues from the world reality left by Neil Gaiman. That series, 1602 was fine enough. Not entirely crash crazy on continuing the read. Like revisiting 2099 in a way.

Ultimate Spider-Man #81 goes straight in with the collection, for some reason. Can't recall anymore. Now sitting on an unread #77.

The sneak peek was empty and hollow, so perhaps Wildsiderz #1 will have something to bear? Teetering on this one.

At least there's some more cheapness in PVP #0. Locked in.

Stupid Comics #3 sounds like something foreign. Like the kind of feeling through ordering a few months back after a head full of marker ink. What this is remains to be seen on the day. Not looking for any clarification, going to buy on name alone.

With the first issue being rather poetic and grand and all things self-destructive in a enlightening way, Emo Boy #2 has a spot marked for its arrival.

 

June 30. That's the end of the year. Financially speaking of course. No sense in making quick dashes to the charity line now. There's a whole year coming up straight on the edge of that tomorrow.

Every damn issue looks like it could be the last one. Amazing Spider-Man #521 doesn't have anything making it stand out. This is probably what happens when reading the comics falls back on looking at what else is there.

Wildsiderz #0 is on re-order. And cheap. And is the new J. Scott Campbell book. Good, but yet to be sold on this.

Blacklight #1 features solicitation copy that reads: "Lina Juarez is stuck in a dead-end job and a dead-end relationship, living a dead-end life in a dead-end town." which just for the hell of reading so many dead-ends is enough of a peek.

Angel: The Curse #1 supposedly picks up somewhere after "Not Fade Away" of Angel. Could be interesting, could be totally shattering thing to read up on what was an excellent closer for the show. Decisions, decisions.

 

June 19 watches on as two series start up as two minis walk away done and finished with their respective tales.

Giant Size X-Men #3 reprints some old classic mutant tales featuring stories that manage to start and end in the same issue. Only four tales of reprints in 80 pages. Staples set to strain! Wallet set to faint! Also includes a new chunk from Joss Whedon and Neal Adams.

Definitely picking up Ex Machina #12. It's solid, intriguing, the characters are well-fleshed out and the art is top notch for capturing the moment.

Trigger #7 is either the penultimate or the final issue. Either way, this series is dead. Been an interesting read though.

Both Freedom Force #6 and Captain Gravity and Power Of The Vril #5 are closers. Can't say much about FF, it's issues were always too frenetic and jumpy to have any real linearity within the pages. CG&PV however, should end things nicely. Back issues are available on Captain Gravity these should the desire to read from the last issue first be there.

Following Cerebus #4 is due which now means that #1 and #2 still haven't been read. So no chance on picking this one up.

G.I. Joe #0 is some ground floor material. Just like Wildsiderz #0. The former, eh, can't be bothered trying to get into the 80s anymore. Outside of music that is. The latter looks promising and pretty fun.
