We have The Spider-man Vault which both Peter and Bob Greenberger worked very hard on.
We have Fable: the Balverine Order (which includes a cool code for Fable III)
And X-Factor 209 with Longshot in Vegas is out.
Enjoy-

PS: use this for this weeks Stash Wednesday and what you are currently reading
Because we didn’t have a Wednesday due to our travel to Australia and crossing the International Dateline.
So what did you get and what is coming out in the future that has your interest?

Fallen Angel #3 came out last week (we missed putting up SW since we were on the road to Dragon*Con) so there’s that plus whatever’s out this week. Knock yourselves out.

There’s absolutely no advantageous situation handed them that they can’t screw up.
Wilson made an idiot of himself. Even hardcore GOP reps shied away from his actions. He apologized to Obama. Obama seemed to be cool with it. That should be that.
Now the Democrats are insisting he apologize from the House floor. Wilson’s refusing to do so because–I dunno. Because perhaps he sees it as an enforced exercise in humiliation and groveling. Which it is. So now they’re talking about rebuking him.
To what end? So that he can be transformed from a loudmouth into a man of principle? So that the GOP can rally behind him? So that the public can hear “You lie!” over and over and over again and, as a result, remember only the accusation, which is what typically happens in these circumstances. That’s why, in a debate situation, you always reframe an accuser’s statement rather than repeat it, because viewers just remember the accusation.
He heckled the President. He apologized. The President seems ready to move on. Move along with him before Wilson is turned into a martyr or even a hero. They’re supposed to be serving the public, and the public will be better served focusing on getting health care done rather than obsessing about a footnote in the debate.

Kathleen took Ariel and her stuff up to college today. I keep thinking of how lucky I was to marry Kath, because second wives sometimes have little interest in children from the previous marriage (probably why stepmothers get such a bad rep in fairy tales.) But Kath has been Ariel’s main maternal figure for the past decade, and done a terrific job raising her, so it was nice that she was able to bring Ariel up to Connecticut (leaving me, on deadline, to get more work done.) And soon Ariel will be heading off to Ireland as part of a freshman program; how’s THAT for an intro into co-ed life?
I’m going to miss her terribly; I’m so used to having her around. But this is the most exciting time in her life ever, and I’m confident she’ll take full advantage of it.

Many years ago, I was attending Mark Gruenwald’s memorial service. I was just standing there, minding my own business, looking quietly at some of the displays, and a woman walked up to me and said, “Excuse me…are you Peter David?” I said yes. She said, “I just wanted to tell you, you’re a terrible writer. Just awful.” I stared at her and said, “Thank you for sharing that.” She walked away.
If Internet blogs had existed as such at the time, I’ve no doubt she would have blogged or twittered about it.
Flash forward to a fan attending the Chicago Wizard Con and he discovers that, unannounced, Rob Liefeld is sitting at a table. Is Rob sitting their boasting abut his greatness? Is he talking about how his contributions to Marvel are the greatest ever? No. He’s just minding his own business, drawing a sketch of Wolverine.
The guy, fulfilling a personal ambition, walks up to Rob Liefeld and thinks it the height of hilarity to tell him that he demands Rob apologize for “Heroes Reborn.”
