Yeah, I'd heard about this title for awhile & how it was
supposedly so great, but never bothered checking it out.
But then I heard that TAO, from Alan Moore's WildC.A.T.S
run was featured in it. I always liked that character so I
figured I'd give it a shot, but just never got around to it.
Yesterday I was looking through the tpb shelves at my
LCS for the latest Wonder Woman tpb, but they didn't have
it, so I got Sleeper instead. I'm not sure when I'll get
to it though, I've got some writing to try to do this
weekend, plus I have to read the V For Vendetta tpb I bought
last week, & try to force myself to finish watching the
DVD of that horror movie that Mel Gibson made about Jesus.

But if I like Sleeper I'll get the 2nd trade, & then start buying the
monthly issues of vol. 2.

another weekend of reading comics....

Captain America Vol 4 #31 (another quality issue with a shocking ending... best Cap in over a decade, as i've mentioned)

Deep Sleeper #4 (an interesting finale but not all that great)

Fire Proves Iron Grounded Stars GN (not enjoyable at all)

Forsaken #2 (i gave it 2 issues but it didn't hook me... won't be back)

Teen Titans #15 (decent issue but this Beast Boy storyline hasn't been the best... really looking forward to the Legion crossover and the "future" Titans storyline)

Ultimate X-Men #51 (very enjoyable issue)

Walking Dead #10 (good issue but probably the weakest of the series)

Warlock #1 (not as bad as i thought it would be but not good enough to get me back for another issue)

Western Tales Of Terror #1 (why do i keep thinking anthologies will be any good?)

I wasn't that impressed with Warlock either - another comic full of digs at it's own community ("jesus look how cheesy his costume is" and the like).

Yeah, I think the new costume is cheesier by far.
