God IDW's Ghostbusters comics suck. If I weren't such a consumer whore who bought everything with "Ghostbusters" written on it, I would've quite this series long ago.

And Essential Ghost Rider's a maybe, since I already own all the issues in it.

DC
Batman And Robin #5 - New Red Hood, Batman suspects, is Jason Todd. Oh, this will be fun. And what is it with these Red dudes and their ultra-secret identities?
Planetary #27 - And finally this amazing series ends. Sad that the schedule got raped to hell, but at least we'll get a nice conclusion. Anyway, time to save Ambrose Chase. Time-travel time!

Marvel
Amazing Spider-Man Vol 2 #608 - A look into what the hell Ben Reilly was up to. Delicious continuity, must eat.
Astonishing X-Men Vol 3 #31 - Thank GOD Phil Jimenez is on this series. Warren Ellis should never work with slow artists again. Also, when Abby Brand calls, her boyfriend Hank McCoy must answer the call. And it's not the booty kind.
Daredevil Vol 2 #501 - Congratulations, Matthew Michael Murdock, you just wont leadership of The Hand! Tell him what else he's won, Roddy! A NEW CAR!
Dark Reign The List Part 4 Secret Warriors - The List turns to Nick Fury and his Howling Secret Commando Warrior Agents. And if it's anything like the excellent List issues so far, it'll be a great read.
Deadpool Vol 3 #16 - DP wants to become and X-Man! Have him break out the Phoenix outfit and we're go.
Ghost Riders Heavens On Fire #3 - The New Vengeance and...other dudes try to prevent the Brothers Blaze to dethrone their leader. I expect ass-kicking.
X-Men vs Agents Of Atlas #1 - Talking Gorillas! Robots! Eye-Beams from the Punch Dimension! Oh yes, it can only be a thrown-together crossover.

Holy flipping Jesus. you can knock my ass over with a feather right now.

I can not tell you how I feel about this.

This series has been going on for a LONG time.

It is the greatest comic series ever.

There were so few issues that I can associate memories to a particular issue

I was married to the 1st wife when I found this series. (The first graphic novel) Issue 10 was the most recent issue then .

My kids weren't even born yet. (they're 9 and 7 now!)

I had to go over the whole northern part of NJ to get the issues I was missing. It was like a visionquest. 9 was the last one (and hardest one to find) I had found it in some backwater comic shop in Teaneck on the way to my family for a jewish holiday.

I remember buying issue 15 the same day after being let go from a job. The towers fell a month later

Wow.

27 issues.

I feel like I lost a loved one.

I'll give Haunt a try.

DD, Spidey, and Moon Knight make for a great week. A little disappointed in the lack of Avenger books.

Oh, hugging COME ON! Six things, and they're all either one-shots or minis in their early stages?! Now I'm going to have three weeks crammed to the effing hilt with my regular books! Marvel, godammit, you release four Avengers books a month, and you can't get one out this week? And just to prove I'm not just bitching about my own titles - not a single regular X-book this week either! Sort your bloody schedule out!

Yay! It's an Astonishing X-Men arc with art that isn't darker than it ever truly needs to be.

Batman And Robin #5

. . . Huh.

Forgot about Irredeemable 7.

Definitely picking that up.

Does anyone know when the spin-off, Incorruptible, is supposed to come out?

December, if schedules hold.
