New fury aimed at DC for Worlds' Finest
The preview enrages fans starting with the first panel. I think that's some kind of record.(I would hid spoiler thoughts in white text but this new layout is weird. I'm having trouble getting the cut tag to work!)
I mean this is the most dismissive thing I've seen from DC. Sheesh.

No more money for comics
My main computer is still messed up which is a sure sign that I need to get a new one. (I'm currently using my I-pad.)But I'll already be sure to spend a lot of money next month. Not just because I'm getting more comics to try out for May/COO tie ins. I'm going to a comic con! Hopefully I'll get lots of goodies!

Zero Month?
The latest rumor via Bleeding News is that DC is marking their one year relaunch anniversary by making all of their books go to zero for a month. To do backstories, etc. I don't mind that although I'm curious what JLI would do. Much as I love Booster I don't want another Origin story. Maybe stories about solo adventures the team had?

Day 22 - A comic book second volume which disappointed you.
That's an oddly specific question. The only thing that applies is the DeMatteis/Giffin run on Booster Gold. If not for my love for Booster I would have dropped the title. I was planning to before I heard Jurgens was returning. I started dreading each issue and groaned outloud reading most of it. I mentioned this before so I won't get into details unless someone asks. Some people found the new Starfire offensive, I found this to be far, far worse.

Day 21 - Favorite writer.
This one is hard because I don't have a favorite writer. Since I mentioned a few before I'll talk about one of my favorites I'm fairly certain hasn't been brought up.
Scott Lynch did wonderful work in IDW with Angel and Spike. He was the ONLY Joss Whedon Verse comic writer that actually made me feel like I was watching the show. (Yes this includes the show writers and Whedon himself.) Don't get me wrong, there were some damn fine IDW book that I adored. But Lynch made it work so well. The characters had the right voices. The humor worked, the emotions hit the right notes and After the Fall remains the best work I've read from the ATS/Buffy books. As far as I'm concerned there never was a Buffy season 8 onward and Angel ended in the IDW books. Because you can't top perfection.
