"There are just some things you can't compromise on. Some things you can. A new suit...yeah. Dream house...maybe. But the girl...you can't compromise on the girl."

I'll have to pick up Flagg if it actually comes out, which I doubt it will. If - when - it doesn't then maybe Doom Patrol. After that it's kind of a crap-shoot of books I'd really like but it looks like I'll just have to wait on.

I'm addicted help me Out of the 9 books mentioned in the first post, I've pre-ordered 5 of them. I'm behind on the Omnibi so didn't order Howard but will eventually be getting it.

That said, I agree July will be an expensive month as I'll eventually buy: * Howard the Duck Omnibus * Weird Science Vol 3 * Defenders Vol 1 * GA Capt America Vol 2 * SSOV Vol 3 * Doom Patrol Vol 5 Weird Science & Doom Patrol will be priorities. I'll probably buy Howard the Duck sooner rather than later. And I've already purchased Invaders Classic Vol. 2

I will probably order Defenders Vol 1 along with Tales of Suspense Vol 2 at the end of the month from TOW, then hold off on SSoV Vol 3 and American Flagg Vol 1 until a rainy day.

I am holding off on the HOTD Omni, as I wrote earlier, but I found some other potentially fatal items on my ToW wishlist this morning: Act One: Weird Science EC Archives Volume 3 Superman and the Legion of Superheroes HC Astro City: The Dark Age Volume 1 HC Dan Dare Classic: Reign of the Robots HC Abyssinia...

Between the current crop of hardcovers and "hot" titles...its all I can do to keep my sanity. I'm SERIOUSLY considering dropping to just the Archives, Masterworks and Omnibuses and giving up the current material with these companies' BTP and New formats for classic material coming up I've got to stay on budget.

I'll check ToW. And you kill your wallet all at once, instead of slowly and painfully, stretching it out over weeks and weeks [breaks into maniacal laughter]... EDIT: ToW still has it listed for 7/30. So, never mind. Abyssinia...
