When I moved into a new apartment recently, my already scattered longboxes got even more scattered. As a result, I haven't been able to find my copy of Astonishing X-Men #14, which I was planning to use as one of my cornerstones for the whole Emma/Scott posts. Rassum-frassum lack of organization!
Luckily, I've found a place to put out feelers - the wonderful world of Scans Daily. Please click the link above to enjoy my limited contributions from Marvel Comics Presents #5, which includes dinosaurs, Black Widow II and a variety of wonderful crack.
Here's hoping I find what I need soon, so y'all can enjoy the stunning insights into Scott and Emma you've no doubt been staying up nights waiting for. *crosses fingers*

Things I'm Buying This Week
Booster Gold #6 - Meet the Beetles begins here, apparently.
Checkmate #22 - Love, love, love this series. Greg Rucka roxxors my soxxors. He's even started a secret blog for this series, to the delight of us superhero spy nerds everywhere. I still miss Queen & Country but this eases the pain greatly.
Marvel Comics Presents #5 - I have a fondness for the old series and I've liked this new version quite a bit. The Hellcat and police detective stories have been very good, even if the others haven't really made me jump up and down with glee. In any case, I wholeheartedly encourage any series that gives more of a chance for new writers and artists to really get creative and put out 8-page shorts.
New Warriors #8 - I'm liking this series more than I ever planned or wanted to. It's just damned interesting to see the Initiative being fought with guerrilla style PR tactics. Plus, Jubilee gets to be the 2nd-in-command of something, which is awesome. Not as awesome as Team Jubilee would be but hey, I like Night Thrasher, so I'm okay with that.
Fell #9 - I've been waiting for this one. Fell's my favorite Ellis comic currently on the shelves and it's cheap too! Try a copy today, whydonchya?
Angel: After The Fall #3 - I'm not as into the art on this "Angel Season 6" comic as I am into the art on "Buffy Season 8" but Brian Lynch & Joss Whedon are clearly having fun. I'm liking it a lot but I'm not loving it. The 'in media res' nature of the storytelling isn't helping me very much when it comes to getting fully into the story. Maybe it's because Buffy didn't end on such a huge honkin' cliffhanger? I dunno.
