So, um, this week I kind of forgot to post this earlier. What with our server going down, and then other news and things happening…it just got away from me. It happens, right?
I just got back from the comic shop, and my bag has No Hero #4, Bang Tango #2, and Hellboy: The Wild Hunt #4. No Hero being Warren Ellis and therefore a must-buy for me, Hellboy being a new addiction, and Bang Tango being a new Vertigo series that I’m not quite sure about yet, but intrigued by enough to buy the second issue.
Since I already hit the comic shop, it’s too late for you to tell me what I should buy. So I have a different question for you. Next week, I have to take my comprehensive exams for my master’s degree, and I’ll be spending about 12 hours each day in front of my computer reading and writing. I’ll need something to decompress with at the end of the night. Hence, comics, of course. So. What should I be reading to make me laugh?

House of Mystery is really good (the first tpb should be out by now).
I Am Legion is being reprinted again by DDP and #2 is out this week.
And for something closer to the mainstream superhero stuff Agents of Atlas and Secret Warriors are out this week.

Deadpool’s usually good for a laugh.

So you want comics to make you laugh. I own these in Trade format and they never fail to get a chuckle out of me.
Asterix, Unshelved(yep, i own the trades of the webcomic), Order of the Stick(yep, again i own the trades of the online comic), She-Hulk(Dan Slott), Nemi, Ninja High School, Hitman(ok i have a twisted sense of humour), The Tick, Anything by Phil Foglio, The Pro, Love and Capes, Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck, Boneyard.
Anyways, hope these give you a laugh
