One note: NEW AVENGERS #22 appears to have been allocated ~50% to any retailer serviced out of Diamond-LA. It's probably going to be VERY HARD to find this on your store's shelves if you're west of the Rockies. However, I fully expect the balance of the allocation to arrive next week, so don't be a dumb-ass and try to buy all of the copies at your LCS or something, thinking it is "rare" or some shit. It isn't any different than the HAL GN arriving on the west this week when it was out in the rest of the country last week...

So.... what looks good to you?
