I was going to jump back on the Incredible Hulk because of Dale Eaglesham. But now I won't. First, Marvel is putting out two Incredible Hulk issues a month besides the other Hulk title. Second, the storyline leads into a new spin-off mini-series.

I like the concept and the character of the Hulk. However, I don't like it so much to buy multiple books a month.

You have a point that per month you're not saving $ if they drop the price from $3.99 to $2.99 but then start putting out 2 issues per month.

On the other hand, my main objection to the $3.99 was not the total $ I was spending but the value I was getting for the $ spent, so I don't personally have an issue with getting 2 issues for $2.99 each, as long as I like what is being done.

I also think putting Skaar in the Savage Land and putting Ka-Zar in the book is kind of cool (I've always liked Ka-Zar), so I'm willing to give that a try too.

The last couple of solicits Marvel has several monthly titles coming out twice a month. This has me thinking about removing some titles from my pull list. I love eaglesham so I will continue to get Incredible Hulk

Yeah, this bothers me too. I mean look at April. How many comics are shipping at least twice that month?

I also decided to avoid Marvel annuals this year. It seems that their theme is crossovers, kinda like they did in the 90s.

I'll get the ASM Annual, but none of the other 5 in the 1st 2 crossover story arcs they have started soliciting for.

I get the new GI Joe Cobra comic book. Hopefully this won't lead into 4 GI Joe comic books.

Is there anywhere to see a preview of Blue Estate? I found a preview of Netherworld, first 5 pages but they were B&W and unlettered.

Google is your friend. A search on:
"blue estate" +image +preview

Yielded this link:

I guess I need to start using the '+'. I typed in 'blue estate image comic preview' and didn't get anything. That's pretty much worked for any other comic i wanted to see.

By the way, on reading all 6 of these previews, I have decided the following:

I had previously planned to get '68, Blue Estate, Nonplayer, Undying Love, the previews confirmed that I want to get these. I was really digging the art on Nonplayer.

I had planned to get Super Dinosaur, the Preview was just not doing it for me. I may still get it if there is a ridiculous DCBS discount (like 75%), but 50% off will not do it for me.

I had skipped Green Wake, but now I'll be getting it. I missed that it had Riley Rossmo art & I liked the Preview.
