Soon I shall unleash my orc posse on the world
I took a trip to Wyldstar in the 'shwa with Logan yesterday. I managed to get a few more D&D miniatures, including a couple of more orcs. Now I've got a total of three orc minis. I've almost got enough for a full encounter. ;)
I also picked up The Punisher #9 and Superman/Batman #11. Logan pointed out my hypocrisy when he saw me pick up the latter. I recently swore not to buy any more crossover books, and Logan, smart guy that he is, pointed out that Superman/Batman is indeed a crossover title. ... Shit. Okay, so I lied. I happen to be enjoying that title, and so I guess I'll have to accept that I technically am still buying one crossover book. ... No more, though. Pinky swear.

Why does it matter if you buy a "cross-over" title anyhow? Is that somehow bad in and of itself? Admittedly cross-overs between comic companies seem to be weakly thrown together stories, but in a shared universe like Superman and Batman, I'd think there's opportunity for stories just as strong as an issue of Superman or Batman.

Most crossover titles I've picked up have been mini-series, and most have sucked big time (no matter whether they were crossovers within one company or crossovers across companies). That's why I vowed not to buy any more.
In the case of Superman/Batman, at least it's an ongoing series, and since I started buying it, I've been fairly impressed with the stories and the artwork. I wish I could say that about more crossovers.
