MONDAY TELEMETRY For May 23rd, 2011

Welcome to another installment of Monday Telemetry, a weekly blog from The Launchpad that covers some of the more interesting releases or events that are coming to the store this week.

A lot of cool stuff this week! Read on! [See the full list of new titles here!]

ITEM! We're getting in a couple of cases of Heroclix Giant-Sized X-men Super Boosters (no regular boosters yet, but stay tuned) this Tuesday. We'll be offering those at a special price point of $19.99! While supplies last!

ITEM! A lot of great superhero books hitting the stand this week: the Reign of Doomsday continues in Action Comics #901, we've got a point one issue in the form of Daken #9, we're getting a restock on some of the Fear Itself titles and Flashpoint #1, the War of the Green Lanterns rages on, and we've got Secret Avengers, Spider-Man, Spider-Girl and so on (and don't forget Kirby Genesis!). But the titles we're featuring in this week's Monday Telemetry are indie books, the kind of titles that might get lost in the mix normally.
