February 27 is calling, and these are tempting some prawns to be hung out on the line. No, that's worms...

Futurama #1
Harking back to times when money was scant and fun was still around, the re-order of Futurama Comics #1 seems like a good chance to pick it up. Coming in on the end of the latest issue of said series, and at the end of a time-travelling arc, why not? Not like there's going to be any new Futurama cartoons being made now is there? Sure, the trades are all well and good, but this is a comic with a letters page. And you don't get that in trades. Unless of course you're waiting for that monster of a Cerebus letters collection later in the year.

The Matrix Comics volume 1
Missed this one the first time around. Lingering and conflicting thoughts and expectations: Get it. Don't get it. Pay for it, wait for a sale. Such indecision led to the eventual evaporation from the shelves. Like as if nobody really ordered enough to cover the demand. And there was a demand. Back before the Wachowski brothers started to introduce the rest of the mythology. Not to say that it was all bad. Just a little unwieldy at the seams. Feeling good things about this one.

Amazing Spider-Man #517
Falling a little behind on the reading of this one. Last issue read was the finale of that horrendously sacrilegious -- since canon is holy -- "Sins Past"

Invincible #20
Might grab this if the hands are quick enough. Short ordered. The strength of the taste based on the fact that the first trade, Family Matters, was a fun, solid and punchy read.

Following Cerebus #3
Not too sure about the zine. Haven't touched #1 and only read a few pages of #2. Also, haven't even read much Cerebus outside the very last issue. Still have those two free signed copies as part of that Dave Sim experiment carried out through Neil Gaiman's site.
