Here's what I'm currently buying on a regular basis, and, in some cases, why. (And here's where things stood back in June.) "+" / "-" / "*" equal the change, if any, in my opinion since then.100 Girls *Only a couple of issues since June but pulled off a wire-to-wire run on my Top 10 for 2005.15 Minutes *Haven't seen another issue since I first discovered the series back in April, but unlike, say, Secret War, I'm still looking forward to it.Action Philosophers! *Always fun, but I suspect it doesn't have terribly long legs. I give it another 3 issues…

(Actually, a few days ago, but work's been kicking my ass this week.) This is the blog version of a chain letter Salomé "infected" me with. The point is to state 10 random things about yourself and "infect" ten others. Here we go...1) Despite the former poetry series, editing Buzzscope, and my apparently good reputation at work (see #2), I am one of the most disorganized people I know. My desk is almost always buried under piles of papers, most relating to jobs in various stages of incompletion.2) I can't take a compliment. Makes me feel awkward and I never…

David Carter of Yet Another Comics Blog (and the YACB Fantasy League where my Moon Knights have had a more pathetic season than my NY Jets) is holding his Second Annual CBLDF Fund Drive. In short: "For the period between now and December 24, if 10 people join as [Comic Book Legal Defense Fund] members at the $25 level (or higher) I will donate $250 to CBLDF."It's a great organization, and this year, he's not even requiring that you be a new member, which I was last year when I joined during his inaugural Fund Drive.$25 to a worthy cause?…

We're still playing with the format, but the switch to a combination of full and capsule reviews for the weekly roundup is already paying off with coverage of a few deserving comics that might not have been reviewed otherwise. This week, I go the capsule/quickee route on BLACK PANTHER #10, FEAR AGENT #2, FELL #3, G.I.JOE: SIGMA 6 #1, and X-MEN AND POWER PACK #2, while three different reviewers tee off on the lame NEW AVENGERS #13 which wraps up the over-hyped "Ronin" arc. Check it out.

The publisher tipped their hand in this week's Marvel Pulse Newsletter with the release of a new "First Look" Wallpaper featuring Finch's pinup that first appeared in Wizard magazine back in August.The tagline…
