The Weekly Haul: Week of March 18, 2020

And here we are…a weekly haul post for the 2nd week in a row. I’d planned on waiting a couple weeks, to be able to finish out March and then switch to monthly posts.

Buuuuut…as of this typing (on Sunday, March 22nd) the governor has just issued the "stay at home" order closing all non-essential businesses, which means (presumably) no new comics until at least April 8th (the order goes to the…

The Weekly Haul: Weeks of 2/19, 2/26, 3/4, and 3/11/2020

Another month, another "weekly" haul-update. I actually had planned on doing this post earlier in the week, but figured if I was gonna be behind and play catchup, might as well make it another 4-week post to match the last one.

But in a real rarity for me (and this blog!) of late, I actually had two full single-issue posts earlier in the week.

First, I had my first non-Ultraverse ’90s Revisitedp…

The Weekly Haul: Weeks of 1/22, 1/29, 2/5, and 2/12/2020

Well…so much for those intentions of actually keeping up with these posts week-to-week!

Two or so weeks, and then nothing for the last 4 (almost 5!) weeks. Go figure.

Well, let’s jump in and look at the main hauls for the past 4 Wednesdays ahead of this week’s new stuff for the 19th.

Week of January 22, 2020

January 22nd had several interesting books, as well as a "lingering habit" I’m having a…

The Weekly Haul: Week of January 8, 2020

The Weekly Haul: Week of January 8, 2020

Another week, another batch of new comics…and a toy from Amazon.

This week’s new comics are basically all IDW. New TMNT, TMNT/Power Rangers, and GI Joe: A Real American Hero.

DC only gets in with a $1 comic, reprinting an issue of Brave and the Bold, though I’d considered the new Batman issue. But with King‘s run being shorted, and DC getting into Marvel‘s renumbering games, and rumours flying…

The Weekly Haul: Week of October 23, 2019 & Halloween Comicfest Weekend Stuff

The Weekly Haul: Week of October 23, 2019 & Halloween Comicfest Weekend Stuff

The week of October 23rd wound up being probably THE smallest week I’ve had in ages, as brand-new-this-week comics go. But offset with some other stuff.

I officially pulled the trigger on dropping a lot of what I’d been getting. Though I still expect to get remnants from that for the next several weeks–stuff already ordered because it had been on my pulls at FOC–I probably won’t feature them…
