I missed last week and will probably miss this week, too.  I'll be spending the money on an airsoft game.

Last one I picked up was MAX Punisher.  Still my favorite title to date.  Ghost Rider has been sucking from day one, yet I still pick it up.  I don't know why.  Also picked up DMZ, 100 Bullets, Dark Horse Conan and the Savage Sword V1 compilation.  Bunch of stuff. 

btw, anyone actually read through Pax Romana and liked it?  I found it very difficult to read and couldn't finish issue 1.  Also, Matt Fraction is awesome.  I also read a lot from Garth Ennis.  If it's got his name on it, I'll probably pick it up.

Personally, I think the art in a lot of current comics are excellent for the most part, k- inspired or not.  I prefer them over manga style either way.  I also like seeing different artist's interpretation of characters.  Greg Pak's Hulk is pretty awesome.  Still, it does have to be consistent.  Sometimes it happens that an issue has 2 different artists, usually due to a time constraint.  And I think only 52 consistently has at least 2 different artists in every issue because of said time constraint.

And no, I don't think all American comics should have a definite ending.  People enjoy reading about these characters.  I don't think the setting has much to do with it, if at all.  Just as long as they're there and that the setting is not too over the top.  I really don't think anyone cares that Spidey celebrated his 30th anniversary almost 20 years ago, yet his character was already a college student when he first appeared, making him almost 50 by now, so you can see how the fans have kept him alive all this time.

Oh, and here's to hoping Deadpool get's his own title.  Cable did, and he's boring.
