I sympathize. But I don't think you understand how small my pull list is. Right now I'm just getting <I>Supergirl and the Legion</I> (which no force on earth could get me to drop) and <I>52</I>. I'm not worried about it not being good enough; the budget just doesn't have that much room for luxuries right now.

I believe everybody when they say it's good. But I just don't have the budget to get more than a few titles a month, and this isn't one of them.Matthew Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01007497367844755093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538843.post-1149483294810378612006-06-05T00:54:00.000-04:002006-06-05T00:54:00.000-04:00Still not buying it.:PStill not buying it.<BR/><BR/>:PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538843.post-1149477374209893742006-06-04T23:16:00.000-04:002006-06-04T23:16:00.000-04:00I plan on giving Manhunter a shot (I'm going to tr...I plan on giving Manhunter a shot (I'm going to try and hunt down some back issues, too).
