Is It Wednesday Yet?

I don't really have time for much commentary/ranting this week, so I'm just going to leave my pull list here.

• Flashpoint #3 (DC)
• Jonah Hex #69 (DC)
• Superboy #9 (DC)
• Sweet Tooth #23 (Vertigo)
• Astonishing Thor #5 (Marvel)

It's so tempting to just drop Flashpoint at this point, since I'm not really interested in the relaunch and it's pretty obvious that this event is not going to be a self-contained story at all, but merely a set-up for whatever comes next.

Jonah Hex is a comic book I've never read in my life, although I keep hearing very good things about it. This month I am finally picking it up because it features art by Jeff Lemire, who has a big week with Superboy and Sweet Tooth also hitting the shelves. Isn't it kind of weird that DC stacks all of his books on the same week like that? Wouldn't it make more sense to spread though across the month, so his fans have a reason to go to the store more than once?

Astonishing Thor is the last part in a mini-series that started like ten months ago. I really hate these bi-monthlies. It's way too long to wait between issues.
