Rainy days and non-comic Wednesdays always bring me down. Star Wars Vector Vol 2 TP (Rebellion Vol 4 & Legacy Vol 6) (lcs)– Star Wars Legacy is one of the best comic books right now that no one is really that familiar with.  John Ostrander and Jan Duursema have taken the essence of what made [...]

Looking through Previews and DCBS, here’s some stuff that jumped out for July: MODERN MASTERS SC VOL 23 DARWYN COOKE RICHARD STARKS PARKER THE HUNTER HC It’s going to be a Darwyn Cooke month in July with his Hunter book and a Modern Masters devoted to him.  I was a bit disappointed with last year’s [...]

It’s a small but eclectic week for me.  Nothing here is coming from my regularly scheduled trip to the comic shop but I may pick up something while I’m there.  If they have Adrian Tomine’s Shortcomings, I may finally pick that book up.  I’ve read the single issues and loved them but for some reason, [...]

… and actually it will since I’m preordering and prepaying for all of this stuff. You’d think that there was a major convention or something in June that would have all the companies trying to have big releases out that month.  This is actually one of my biggest DCBS orders in some time and I [...]

I feel all out of sorts having to wait until Friday to get my comics. Final Crisis Secret Files #1 (lcs)– I’m really debating on this one.  I’ve already seen it and it just did nothing for me, providing an origin story for Libra and then some sketches.  This may be the first Final Crisis [...]

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, [...]

A couple of trades, two crossover events, a Kevin Huizenga book and an issue of The Comics Journal.  This week looks to be a nice, varied week. Final Crisis #4 Final Crisis Submit #1–  It’s another strong Final Crisis week with two Grant Morrison penned books even though I have to say that I don’t [...]

It’s odd but for the last couple of weeks, it’s been hard for me to get really worked up about new comics.  I don’t know if it’s the economy or just tired comics but I could actually go another week without hitting a comic shop and would barely miss it.  And it’s not just me; [...]

You know, I think I have absolutely no reason to hit the comic shop this week.  Now, I’ve had weeks where I’ve had only one or two books pulled or where even if nothing is pulled, there was still something that I wanted to pick up.  But this week?  Nope.  Nada.  Nothing.  The two things [...]
