My list is mostly filled with DC Comics/Hanna-Barbera Specials but I also have the 800th issue of The Amazing Spider-Man, Marvel Super Hero Adventures, Valiant High and more.
Even though I have The Man of Steel miniseries on my list, I'm on the fence about getting it because it appears that Lois Lane will not be featured as prominently as she should instead the writer will be showcasing new characters including one who is a female journalist. It makes no sense that Lois should be placed on the back burner (yet again) instead of being shown as the lead character that she is. It's as if the writer doesn't think more than one woman can share a space in the newsroom. I don't know, I'm still trying to decide whether or not to pick this up. I'll let you know if I do.
