This is the stuff I'm thinking about in addition to my regular pull list.
I haven't done one of these in a few months because there wasn't any new stuff I was adding except for ’BREED III from Image but I couldn't find the CBR solicitation page at the time.
Also DC dropped five of my comics in the Solicitations for May BATMAN AND THE OUTSIDERS, DOOM PATROL, FREEDOM FIGHTERS, JSA ALL-STARS and R.E.B.E.L.S.

Gage and Isaacs are great so hopefully this will be too, the Buffy series was a disappointment but I will probably still get the new one when it comes.

The International Company known as Vescell specializes in what is commonly known as “Vtrans”, the transferring of a person’s mind and spirit from one body into another. Former Icarus City Detective, Mauricio “Moo” Barrino is now Vescell’s best agent, handling the most high profile and dangerous cases. In the seedy world of a high end corporate espionage, where mysticism and guns clash, and money is tainted with sin, Agent Mauricio Barrino fights against the demons of fate while trying to reach the heaven of his destiny. Be prepared for the bar-raising, sci-fi noir epic that is VESCELL.
There was a preview for this on Bleeding Cool which started out longer than it is when I post this but anyways it looks kind of interesting with great art.

Fully loaded with the Eisner winning writer Greg Rucka (Batwoman, Queen and Country, WOLVERINE) and neo-superstar artist Marco Checchetto (Amazing Spider-Man, Daredevil), the BIGGEST GUN of all returns with blood on his hands and vengeance in his eyes. As New York City's body counts continue to rise, the city's streets are teeming with more methodical criminals than ever and a police force doing it's best to keep its head above water. The Punisher has returned to serve his own brand of justice with everything's he's got... but can he survive the darkness stored in his own arsenal? Plus bonus pages exploring some of the new personalities in Frank's life...and how closely intertwined living is with dying.

The second issue is solicited too, at $2.99 so that's OK and I really enjoyed Checkmate which Rucka wrote.
