Our visit to Keith’s Komix was a bit brief because I had an Tech Support call at my aunt’s house and work later that Wednesday evening. Cut a few more comics today. No more Adventure Comics, Teen Titans, and Titans. Batman comics took up the majority of the stack as I have been holding off on picking them up til they were all in. Surprisingly, an Aspen Comic came out today, Dellec # 2.

More titles picked up, more titles put on hold, slowly removing titles from my pull list. To our surprise, there were some new releases from Aspen Comics. Not to my surprise, Marvel’s NECROSHA storyline is wrapping up, only one more issue to go, and yet I still can’t make out WTF is exactly going on. There was also a FREE comic out today by Marvel called X-Men SECOND COMING: PREPARE. Basically it previews the next big X-title story arc, SECOND COMING. Cable and Hope Summer return to the present and all hell breaks loose apparently. The title of the arc is aptly named but what is this Second Coming? The rebirth of the mutant population? The rebirth of Phoenix or Dark Phoenix through Hope, the first mutant to be born since M-Day? It sounds interesting enough, but I think I’ll wait for the graphic novel. There’s a lot more interesting things going on with DC that I want to keep updated on.
