True enough, but there aren't many books I'm getting that you're not - likely Sandman (which has one more issue) & Astro City, that's about it. I find Marvel's website to be spotty with the releases - if I think I missed a book but see you didn't get it, I don't worry about it & assume they were wrong on the website.

Store B:

Siege 1
Civil War 1
GI Joe ARAH 211 (which I'm hoping directly runs into Death of Snake Eyes or I wasted money again)
We Stand On Guard (Brian K Vaughan-written thing that looks to be something about the US invading Canada perhaps)

Still no Renew your Vows #2.

I liked We Stand on Guard - it was pretty cool in a Martha Washington but maybe not so weird sorta way. Brian K Vaughan seems to have had every dream about the end of the world possible.

The GI Joe issue DID help a bit with my understanding of what was going on in the Death of Snake Eyes, could have been marked as a prelude or something to increase sales as NONE of the issues with those words on the cover have sat for any length of time at all. Marketing, people....

With Siege & Civil War I'm now up to 14 of the Secret Wars companion series at least explored. Not sure how I feel about that.

The Fall of G.I. Joe Vol. 2. Haven't read it. With the mass of continuity farts this title has become, and knowing it was cut short, even Traviss can't make me get excited.

Can someone spoil if it completely ends IDW's Joe series, or if it looks like it might go on? If the latter, I might get to it quicker.

From the last two weeks:

Guardians of Knowhere #1 - Stupid Secret Wars. Angela is looking to punish Gamora, who has left Knowhere (a big no-no). Drax and Rocket are there, but no Starlord or Groot. Meh.

Hawkeye #22 - Finally. Great finale, but so sad to see it go, bro.

All-New Hawkeye #4 - Mostly flashback to young Clint and Barney. Also SHIELD and bad guys show up to steal the kids.

Kanan: The Last Padawan #4 - Kanan's backstory continues.

The Punisher #20 - The opposite of Hawkeye #22.

Uncanny X-Men #35 - The kids try to be heroes, but realize they don't have the training.

Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #1 - From a few months ago, after my Facebook post. Fun stuff. I'll probably pick up the rest soon.

Detective Comics #612 & 613 - Grant/Breyfogle goodness from the back issues for $1 each.

There is absolutely no resolution to the series, let alone the overall IDW "saga". Until we hear different, I assume whatever comes next will continue in the same continuity, but will probably adopt yet another "tone" for the books.

That whole thing didn't really feel "in" continuity to me & I would agree with EP, it was left just kinda there... to continue or not I guess. :(

Yeah, Traviss' series wasn't bad perse, but it didn't feel "Joe" at all.
If anything, the recent Snake-Eyes:Agent of Cobra miniseries was more a continuation of the overall IDW-verse than the main short lived series was.

12 books. Two Final Issues. Two SW tie ins. 4 TF books. And 1 Star Wars.

Black Widow 20. Final Issue. Last Days tie in. During the incursion, Nat flashes back to a mission in Cuba where she killed some defectors, a cute gardner boy, her partner who had fallen for the cute gardner boy, and even the cat. I'll be happy if Edmondson never gets Marvel work again.

Daredevil 17. DD fights an unwinnable fight against Ikari. If he loses he dies. If he wins Kingpin kills either Foggy or Kirsten. Then Shroud steps in and "helps" Matt. Which means one of his friends is now dead.

Deadpool's Secret Secret Wars 3. SW! Sorta! Wade continues to be inserted in the original Secret Wars.

Deathlok 10. Final Issue. Henry brings the fight to Biotek. Agent Hope might be a sleeper. Despite Perkins' art this has been a dud series. Oh look, it's by Edmondson.

Guardians Team-Up 8. A mostly silent (because the vacuum of space) team up between Groot and Silver Surfer as they try to rescue a fellow Tree person during a conflict between two alien armadas. They fail. Kind of a downer ending.

SHIELD 8. Agent May and Mockingbird take on human traffickers who specialize in surgically altering people into super powered slaves with wings and such for super rich clientele with fetishes.

Star Wars 7. Flashback story about Obi Wan watching over Luke as a boy and trying to not openly be a Jedi badass anymore because he's in hiding. Normally I don't care for Bianchi's art but it works here. Might be a backdoor 0 issue for a Kenobi mini or ongoing.

Thors 2. SW! The ongoing mystery of who's been serial killing Jane Fosters deepens.

Transformers MTMTE 43. Haven't read it.
Transformers Windblade 5. Haven't read it.
Transformers Combiner Hunters Oneshot. Haven't read it.
Transformers vs GIJoe 8. Haven't read it. As you can see, I'm way behind on TF. I set aside Combiner Wars and haven't read it or anything after it yet. The pile keeps getting bigger.

12 books. 7 SW related. 4 Final Issues(although every one of them as a new #1 coming in a month or two. And one Star Wars book.

A-Force 3. SW! She Hulk figures out there's a traitor in Arcadia and becomes a fugitive from the Thors. I'm guessing the traitor is Loki. Because Marvel is totes original.

Amazing Spidey 20.1 Final Issue! It's weird that ASM ends as a point one issue of a shoehorned miniseries. THERE WAS NO ISSUE 20!!! :frus:

Mrs Deadpool 3. SW! Shiklah and the Howling Commandos find the thing that can kill Dracula and return to use it.

Future Imperfect 3. SW! Ruby and the rest break into Maestro's intending to kill him and rescue Thing and find them having dinner.

Ghost Racers 3. SW! Robbie escapes the races, and Zadkiel punishes him by making his little brother a Racer instead.

Howard the Duck 5. Final Issue! Howard saves the world from the sorta evil Skrull with the kinda omnipotent weapon. Hilarious. Highly recommend you all read this series.

Max Ride 5. Final Issue! For the kid. Didn't read it.

Planet Hulk 4. SW! Haven't read the previous 3 issues. Steve Rogers is on a mission to kill the Red King of Greenland.

Secret Wars 5. Doom tasks Val with finding who murdered Dr. Strange. Even though it was Doom himself.

SW Battleworld 4. Two different Silver Surfer stories.

Squirrel Girl 8. Final Issue! More hilarity! Read it!

Lando 2. Lando and Lobot have to escape three Star Destroyers after they boost Palpatine's private space yacht. And a new bounty hunter is introduced. Chev Chelios? Chook Chutney? Yeah, he's gay.
