It's the day after new comics

what did you pick up?

me: Uncanny X-men, Tales of the TMNT, Knights of the Dinner Table 99, and the Ex Machina tpb.

I also picked up the complete BONE collection and From Hell. caved in.

The uncanny Xmen was so-so. I think Claremont is past his prime, or just that there's a lot of competition lately from Whedon in the x-title department. I thought that this was a weak conclusion to the story arc.

The Tales -TMNT continues to be a really good book. Lawson does the art, which is strangely good for what initially seems to be pretty cruddy.

KODT is starting to show its evolution away from the game table. A lot of the action takes place in BA's pizza parlor. I think this is a good thing. This comic continues to slay me on a regular basis, even though its been like 5 years since the last time I gamed, and I may never game again.

The Ex Machina is a really good, original book. I really like it. The whole twist of the world's lone superhero realizing he does more harm than good and running for mayor instead is brilliant. I also didn't catch whatthe jet photo at the beginning really was until, well, just now, about 12 hours after I finished reading.

what did other folks pick up?
