What's everyone picking up?
Since I'm not enjoying Brian Michael Bendis' out of character take and poor treatment of Clark Kent/Superman, Lois Lane and the rest of the Superman universe, I decided to take Superman and Action Comics off my pull list. If I change my mind and decide I want to read this current run then I'll just pick up the trade edition. So for now I'm save my money until new writers take over the series.
With that said, I do have one new book on my list: DC Beach Blanket Bad Guys Special #1, it's a special summer one-shot which as the title states is focusing on the villains.
