I recently dislocated my elbow so it is a good thing it will be a small week for me. I’ll eventually pick up the new Rat Queens. Until then, I’ll stare at the House of Secrets 92 that I bought myself as a mid-life crisis birthday present.
Happy birthday no what a present. HOS 92 not the dislocated shoulder.
6.5 white pages. Best I could afford. Elbow was not hoverboard related. Ha!
This week I got:
Deadpool and cable split second
Howling commandos
Spidey – supposed to be out next week but I didn’t tell him until after I got it and he checked and promptly pulled the rest off the shelves, along with all of the other marvel titles they got early.
Asm – also next weeks
Superman annual
Flash polybagged
Wonder woman polybagged
Justice League polybagged
All three were colour this week for me.
Re: Premature marvel title releases, we had the same situation here. They didn’t shelf any of them however, though I don’t know what difference it makes at this point. I guess promotion, accounting, and customer expectations could be affected by an early release but seems trivial enough to just go with it, particularly since copies will still be sold and probably reviewed this week anyway.
For me,
Rat Queens #14
Henchgirl #3
Infinite Adventures of Jonas Quantum #4 (which actually came out a few weeks ago)
All continue to be outstanding and original.
I’m also picking up NM/VF issues of World of Warcraft (2007) at below cover when I can find them in anticipation of the upcoming summer 2016 film. I commited to spending $100 and think I’ve compiled at least 3 full sets of the 25 issue run and a ton of the Jim Lee variant covers and B&W 2nd prints as I’m nearing that mark. Summer will tell I guess.
I got Obi-Wan and Anakin and Howard the Duck but was then informed neither should have been out til next week. Anyone know what’s up with that?
They were mistakenly shipped early.
Also picked up Strange Tales 147.
ALWAYS ENJOY READING WEDNESDAY FORUM,JUST SAW STAR WARS MOVIE AND WAS JUST THINKING HOW GRACEFULLY CHEWBACCA HAS AGED COMPARED TO THE OTHER ORIGINAL CAST MEMBERS.
Lol. Chewbacca hasn’t led as hard of a life as Princess Leia has.
