my favorite book to read right now. once i read the first trade i made it a mission to collect every issue(did it in about a week). with the exception of pre-unity valiants, i haven't been this mad over a comic ever!

I am also reading exterminators, fables, and just started the sword by the luna brothers.

I picked up The Order 1-3 because it's by Fraction and I wanted to try something else out from him after reading Iron Fist.

It's ok. Nothing great. Wouldn't really recommend it. I probably won't pick up any more new issues, but might go after them on ebay once the series has run its course.

The Song of Orpheus?
I think so, it had a glow in the dark face on the front cover.

I think that is what you can describe as hitting on all cylinders.

Picked up Gotham Underground #1. It was pretty damn good. It's going on my sub. Calafiore's art is excellent as always and Tieri looks to be putting out a solid story involving most of Bat's big time villains.

I read tons but some current favorites include:

Fables (and Jack of Fables)
The Ride (in all its various incarnations)
Amazing Spider-Girl
Jonah Hex
Green Lantern

The first issue of Kyle Baker's Special Forces really amazed me. For those who don't know it, the book is a political satire of the Middle east conflict inspired by reports of gross misconduct perpetrated by US military recruiters including enlisting an autistic teen.
I was flipping through it and had to finish reading it before I finished stocking the shelves last night. So now, I'm reading Baker's Plastic Man series, which is totally different, but still enjoyable.

Just read the Global Frequency series by Warren Ellis. It was different and well worth the read. I give it a 4 out of 5.

I've read about a new comic called Headlocked that I would love to buy it but I really doubt any of the LCS around here would carry it.
