...Long day yesterday so I didn't get much time to update and provide previews proper, so with the rest of the family sleeping in I will do a quick pull list preview...
Action Comics #38
Clark is home in Smallville during the rebuild from the last arc's destruction when a new entity shows up. Just picked this book up at the beginning of the new story line. Hoping that the book keeps up with its current quality as its counterpart, Superman, has been on point since Johns and JRJ took over.
Aquaman and the Others #9
Still sad to hear that this book's run is coming to an end shortly. Although it isn't a great book, it is more Aquaman and that can't be bad. Anyways, we should be learning more about the past relationship between the Operative and one of the Soldier's platoon mates. Also curious to see the play out between the Others and the Russian themed super group that is threatening.
Detective Comics #38
The villain Anarky is present in Gotham and doing his best to incite chaos, as he believes this will, in a way, bring order. Excited to see this story line furthered, as I really appreciate these types of Batman stories that are a bit more grounded and focus on his skills as a crime solver.
The Fade Out #4
Not too much here, as I have yet to read the first three issues (I know, I know, but sometimes you want to be able to enjoy something with peace that you can make it straight through). I really want this book to turn out as good as all the things I've been hearing. This type of noir really goes right up my alley. I will be sure to review the entire series once finished.
Finally, hoping for a better, warmer day (although I may be about 5 months out from what I consider warmth). Hoping to make it to my LCS before they close. And wishing that I get more great update pictures from my wife with our little girl inside, they make even bad days a little brighter and cold ones a little warmer!
Until next time...

Episode 1
So....here we go!
It is January 2nd, and I had hoped to be posting this yesterday, you know, new year new blog. However, between my daughter Aquagirl being a bit fussy and my wife who I guess has to be Aquamom being creative, we got pushed out a day.
Anyways, I didn't have any pull list comics to pick up this week. Today was also a bit of an odd day, having been off of work yesterday and only going back today before the weekend. I do have a back-up plan that has accidentally worked out.
Some back story, I have only been involved with print comics for a few months, right about the time I bought my house. I started reading digitally with the New 52 re-launch, but at the encouragement of my wife, and new space allotted in a home, I decided to begin a collection of my own. A few months in, I was feeling the need for a better storage solution than shoe boxes. I also had the desire to read a comic that I wasn't able to get from my local comic store. All that being said, I turned to the internet to find a solution.
Stumbling upon the website of NYC retailer Midtown Comics, I decided to place an order. I actually used their mobile app and placed an order with relative ease late on a Friday, my package arrived early Tuesday. The prices were very good, shipping cost wasn't too bad, and with that quick of a turnaround, granted I am not that far away, ordering from them comes highly recommended.
I had considered doing some sort of unboxing video but kept putting it off. Additionally, having a family and work easily prevents one from having time to oneself, but I wouldn't trade family time for anything, and who doesn't wish that they could at times push work off for leisure. So, I now have a three week old package that aside from two comics and bags and boards I have no idea what is inside. We will find out tonight though!!!
Stay tuned for a later post with pictures and details of what is inside.
Until then, I am off...to be a husband, father, and comic reader.
