Don't worry, guys. Here's the approved list (more or less in order of magnificence):

1. Morning Glories #21
   Well what's to say...
2. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Micro Series #7 April
   Really like this series. Glad it's still going.
3. Debris #2 (of 4)
   #1 was great. And it's only 4 issues. This is the kind of series I'd like to see go on a little. Just like Alabaster:Wolves.Well if it keeps it up.
4. Smoke And Mirrors #5 (of 5)
   The conclusion to an original and interesting book.
5. Grim Leaper #4 (of 4)
   See above comment.
6. Higher Earth #4
7. Gambit #2
   Well, #1 was not so bad. Let's see what the tendency is.
8. Locke & Key Grindhouse One Shot
   Got all Locke & Key stuff so this is a no-brainer.
9. Uncanny X-Force #30
   Not liking the current arc all too much, so I'm hoping this will get better. It ismy last X-Men title at the moment.
10. Captain Marvel #3
    #1 was good. #2 not so good. #3 decides if I'm keeping.
11. Before Watchmen Minutemen #3 (of 6)
    Kinda sad that Before Watchmen doesn't really live up to it all. At the moment I find it rather useless. Only Manhattan caught my interest, but that story has issues of its own.

Well until next week you guys.

I've been really excited for Rorschach, but now my excitement has been killed a little since I noticed the writer is the same guy that's doing comedian. The comedian has been terrible so far, mostly because of characterization. I really hope he treats Rorschach better because he's legitimately one of my favorite characters in any story I've ever experienced.

Same here. I would really hate to hate this book.

So, here's the list in order of magnificence (more or less):

1. Alabaster: Wolves #5
   Get this.
2. Revival #2
   First issue was very good. Surprised this didn't make it onto the official list.
3. Saga #6
   By now a must-read. Fantastic art and story.
4. Garth Ennis Jennifer Blood #15
   Pass this if it isn't your kind of comic book. I'll understand. I like it though.
5. Uncanny X-Force #29
   Imo the best Marvel series for now.
6. Bloodshot #2
   First issue was promising. Let's see about this one.
7. Captain Marvel #2
   One of the few comics where the cover art is actually worse than the art inside.
8. Before Watchmen Rorschach #1
   Ozymandias #2was actually not so bad, so I'm looking forward to my favorite character just a little. Shame on you DC it you mess this up.
9. Daredevil #17
   Daredevil hasn't been as good as everyone seems to think for me.
10. Deadpool Kills Marvel Universe #3 (of 4)
    Well, It's mindless fun to read so why not? Even if "why?" seems to be around the corner.
11. Everybody Loves Tank Girl #2 (of 3)
    I recommended #1 last month, forgot to get it though. Might get them both this week if i remember.^^

This time only one #1 issue I won't put on the list:

• Michael Avon Oeming's The Victories #1

As always and forever, the list of comics to be bought in order of magnificence:

1. Mind MGMT #3
2. Cape 1969 #2
3. Higher Earth #3
4. Before Watchmen Nite Owl #2
5. Sweet Tooth #36
6. Mind The Gap #3
7. Hypernaturals #2
8. Animal Man #12
9. Daredevil #16

I normally don't post #1 issues, because I can't judge their quality. So I'm posting them outside the list:

• Harvest #1
• Think Tank #1
• Black Kiss II #1
• Hawkeye #1
• Infected #1

Don't forget to tune in next week.

What can you say? I do agree on quite a few titles this week, but mostly out of lack for better ones. This is the list. Again more or less in order of magnificence.

1. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #12
2. Manhattan Projects #5
3. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Micro Series #6 - Thought these would end after four issues, but I'm glad they didn't.
4. Uncanny X-Force #28
5. X-treme X-Men #1
6. B.P.R.D. Hell On Earth Exorcism #2
7. Everybody Loves Tank Girl #1
8. Batman Incorporated #3
9. A Once Crowded Sky: A Novel - This is supposedly a mix of novel and comic. We'll see.

Well, I did fall short by one and I was already trying. All in all not the best week. Batman Incorporated #2 was a kind of wrap up but a good one. We'll see about this one (if the rumors about it being delayed are true we won't, at least not this week). That's all folks. Tune back in next week.

This Wednesday I bleed...

Don't worry, you might get it right next week. Tune back in.

I agree here that your list is way cooler than the Norris list.Seriously folks once again the blog list wallows in industry fed Bantha fodder listing titles that have been overhyped to death already. Only SAGA (an obvious attempt to scramble for street cred) and Sunset and XO being worth the ticket price.My list wouldn't include Supergirl or Batwoman, but I have a scattering of DC and Marvel mainstream on my monthly pull list as well. There is other better stuff out there that should have been on Eric's list instead of industry standard DC and Marvel,but this is what is consistently wrong with ComicVine and it's approach to comics.Any chance kulukimaki can take this list over,Eric?

Ouch, that hurts. And you could at least get my name right when asking me to step down ;).

But as I've mentioned before, while I write the 10 comics feature weekly, it's ComicVine as a whole that chooses the titles to feature. And we include "industry fed bantha fodder" because we honestly enjoy it and recommend it to our readers. We love the indies too, but we're not going to only include them simply to be alternative or, dare I say it, comic hipsters (*shudders). We love all comics, whether tights and capes or not. So going into creating this list we try to balance it out with a touch of everything on the menu. There is no conspiracy of getting fed dollar bills under the table from marvel and dc to include their titles on this list. And if that were the case, I haven't seen a dime ;).

@erik_norris: Ah, don't worry. My mother used to tell me: "Die Geschmäcker der Püblikümer sind verschieden!". Which roughly translates to: "Tastes differ." Well with a little more pomp. I would highly suggest giving Rachel Rising and Alabaster: Wolves a chance though (that goes out to everyone reading this), if you haven't. Carbon Grey's art is awesome, but the story is confusing at best. With all the attention Saga is getting, it's hardly indy anymore (well it is, but still), art and story are great + different. Night of a 1000 wolves started of kinda boring but got really good at the end of last issue. While I like capes (The Cape was great, by the way), many are a little disappointing (I did like Owls though). While I'm at it: Before Watchmen is only average and Ozymandias only had good art^^. That said, I didn't really post my list as an alternative to the official one, but more as a kind of expansion, for anyone kind enough to consider my preferences. Anyways: Great week altogether.

You guys, this is the correct list, in order (more or less) of magnificence:

1. Alabaster: Wolves #4
2. Rachel Rising #9
3. Night of 1000 Wolves #3
4. Carbon Grey Vol.2 #1
5. Saga #5
6. Captain Marvel #1
7. Silk Spectre #2
8. Fables #119
9. Supergirl #11
10. Batwoman #11
11. Jennifer Blood Annual #1

This Wednesday I bleed...

Don't worry, you might get it right next week. Tune back in.

@Silver2467: Cool cool, i'm adding all these to a list for reference. :D

Care to post the list? Might be helpful as a kind of conclusion to this thread. I for one would be interested.
