- Bernie Wrightsons Frankenstein HC– When this came out, this was one of those high-priced prestigious books that I couldn’t afford. Now that Dark Horse is putting it out again, I just couldn’t resist ordering it.
- Final Crisis Rage Of The Red Lanterns #1 Cover A Character Cover (Blackest Night Prelude)– Wow, that’s a long title, isn’t it? At this point, I’m getting this more because of the Final Crisis tag than the Green Lantern aspect of the book since I’ve relegated Johns’ GL work to trade waiting. Shane Davis is a fine but somewhat generic artist
- Astonishing X-Men Ghost Boxes #1– Filling in some time between issues of the main story I guess. Have Alan Davis and Warren Ellis ever worked on anything together before? For some reason, that seems as odd of a pairing as Ellis and George Perez.
- Wasteland (Oni Press) #21– I got to meet Christopher Mitten over the weekend at the Windy City Comicon and bought two of his earlier books from him; Past Lies and Last Exit Before Toll. It’s taken a bit but Wasteland is one of the books I think I look forward to reading the most whenever I see it pop up on a new release list.
- Acme Novelty Library #19 HC– This is one of the books where I still maintain my indie cred I think.
