[Punchy]

Anything apart from Batwoman.

[Zero]

The only comic on the list I'm already buying, and the one I think will be the bestest is Detective Comics. Batwoman is my #2 choice.

[thefourthman]

Anything apart from Batwoman.

RACIST!

[******]

It's like a Pig Race, but not at all.

Batwoman by a million bazillion miles.

How can anyone not want to read a comic where JH Williams III and Amy Reeder Hadley are collaborating on the art?

Plus Elegy was awesome and I want the Rucka-less ongoing series to be awesome too.

BOOM would probably appreciate it if we did The Traveler and would likely link to the group in their blog and tweet it and stuff, so I vote that.

So is Ross Ritchie. I still voted for the book starring the hot lesbian in leather and that is from Jeph Loeb's biggest fan!

Name a time when your obsession with lesbians hasn't ended in shame and internet heartbreak and I'll change my vote.
