The usual suspects.

Scalped Volume 1: Indian Country
Scalped Volume 2: Casino Boogie
I really enjoyed the couple of issues of this title that I read last week, so I figure I might as well catch up on the earlier parts of the series.

New releases
Booster Gold #0
It was my firm belief that I would never buy a Booster Gold title, because everything I've seen of him so far I've hated, but Chris Sims has been raving about this book, and I just realized it's written by my good pal Geoff Johns, so I might as well give it a shot. This particular issue seems to be a prequel that ties in with some kind of Countdown crap, so maybe I'll hate it, but we'll see.

BPRD: 1946 #2
Woo hoo! More BPRD!

Captain Marvel #3
I believe the last issue of this ended with a whole pile of Skrulls falling on top of our hero's head, so this should be fun.

Fantastic Four #554
Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch take over the series in this issue. Should be interesting to see where they go with it.

Fantastic Four: The Lost Adventure #1
I know I'm going to regret getting this, because it's written by Stan Lee, and I really dislike the way Stan Lee writes, but I can't resist the concept. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby did 102 consecutive issues of Fantastic Four, and they had an idea for a 103rd story, but never completed it. This is it.

Ghost Rider #20
Jason Aaron from Scalped takes over this book on this issue. Should be interesting to see how he handles superhero comics.

The Goon #21
Woo hoo! More Goon!

Green Lantern Corps #21
Looks like the saga of Kyle and Guy's bar venture is being pushed to the side in this issue in favor of following the story of the Alpha Lanterns. But that's much more interesting anyway, so it's okay with me!

Marvel Adventures Hulk #8
Well, I wasn't a big fan of Marvel Adventures Fantastic Four, but... this has the Hulk!

Nova Annual #1
From the little summary on Marvel's website, this sounds like it'll be a pretty big, important issue, taking a look back at Nova's past and future. Exciting!

Punisher: Force of Nature #1
I was surprised but pleased to see author Duane Swierczynski's name on the credits for this book; I added it to my list immediately. I'm not clear on whether it's a one-shot or the first issue in a miniseries; either way, it seems to be about the Punisher out on a boat with some folks, and wackiness ensuing.

Star Wars: Dark Times #9
Seems like I just bought an issue of this, but apparently it's that time again!

Ultimate Iron Man II #3
I'm not really that impressed with this miniseries anymore, but if I remember correctly there's only one issue left after this one, so it hardly seems worth it to stop reading now. I might as well find out how it ends, at least.

Wolverine #62
I don't usually like to encourage Marvel's obsession with Wolverine, but this is the start of a new four-part story arc with Jason Aaron of Scalped doing the writing, so it seems worth a try.
