Picked up a Gamestop Variant cover edition of Marvel's Darth Vader #1 today. Very cool.
Nice. I love all the variants they're doing for these. I picked up a couple of variants I liked for Star Wars #1 (including the Alex Ross variant) and am tempted to get the Skottie Young variant of Darth Vader because.... cuteness. :haha: I actually like the action figure variants, too, though.
Speaking of variants .... I'll definitely be picking up a couple of copies of the Thor Annual, since it combines some of my big loves -- Thor, Jason Aaron, CM Punk, Rob Guillory, and Noelle Stevenson -- and all three stories should be good. Grabbing the Guillory variant cover of it, as well.
I'd be super jealous if you got any of the Campbell variants. One of my fav artists.
Dude, if I could afford it I'd soooooo be on that, haha.
Also didn't think to clarify, but the Alex Ross variant I got is the exclusive one from his online store.

Pretty creative. Kind of meh though.The CM Punk story from Thor Annual #1.. enjoy!
"The Ultimate Drunkifier" made me chuckle, but thats just cause I'm a Marvel nerd.
Got the latest issue of X-Force in the mail today finally. Looks like Hope Summers is taking over as leader of X-Force from Cable. I've been wondering how the X-Force book was going to tie into this whole deal the Marvel Universe has going on right now.
Read the long-awaited, much-anticipated Suiciders #1 this evening and was not disappointed. I thoroughly enjoyed it and thought it was a good start to the series. Look forward to seeing what lies ahead and watching the story unfold. Intriguing plot, good writing, good art -- all around winning comic.

Agreed, I really enjoyed it as well. If anyone else wants to read it I will PM a link, just message me.
Frequent Marvel inker is reported to be missing after he was last noted snorkeling off the Cayman islands.
I made a nice find at my local comic shop Saturday night. Great time as always, but when looking through boxes on the 50% off table, I found one copy of the twentieth anniversary hardcover edition of Neil Gaiman's "The Last Temptation." Was pretty happy about that and pulled it out to add with my stack. Kept looking through, and lo and behold I found another copy of it. Checked it out and realized the cover price was very different, which is when I noticed the second one stated "Signed Edition" above the bar code. Cue GN ecstatic mode. It's a first printing, twentieth anniversary edition, hardcover copy of the graphic novel, triple-signed by Gaiman, the artist Michael Zulli, and Alice Cooper himself to top it off. As a Gaiman fan, I was elated. I wound up hugging it to my chest after I realized what I had found, lol. Those were the only two copies they had. Besides already being 50 percent off, when I got up to the register, the guy who knows me gave me an extra little discount on top of that, as he often does for my friend and me, so that made it even better. Here are some shots of it, if anyone's interested:
Added bonus: It was released on my birthday, woot woot.

That's awesome! I'm not to up on the book/artist, but it's still sounds like it was exciting.
