Pre-reviews: The Week of January 24, 2007


Diamond Shipping List

What I'm picking is below.


Please note: I usually drop my regular titles just to make
this shorter. Do any of you care about those?

No?

Good.

Already?!? Jesus, time's flying.

Dark Horse Comics
JUN060044 PENNY ARCADE VOL 3 WARSUN PROPHECIES TP $12.95
This should be just about the point where Gabe's art ticks upward in quality dramatically. Once a man takes away his day job and starts drawing full time, things happen, I guess.

DC COMICS
OCT060228 SHOWCASE PRESENTS BRAVE & BOLD BATMAN TEAMUPS VOL 1 $16.99
Want to get a sneak peek of what you're in for with this volume of Silver Age Cuckookiness, slappy? Check out the first of the "regular" Batman team-up issues on this very site!

Man, I'm really nice to you people.

Other Companies
NOV063511 HOW TO BE A COMIC BOOK ARTIST $4.99
They hired me to do this, but thought asking $5 for a single page that read "Just draw what I fucking tell you to, dammit!" was a bit much.
SEP063175 NINJA TALES #1 $6.99
JUL062993 TAG #3 (OF 3) $3.99
BOOM! Studios did not pay me for this placement.

They pay me to keep the multiple laundering accounts in the Caymans in my name. I do the placement as a bonus.

(I do really like Tag, though, and think that the Tales books allow the market to have a high-quality pop-culture anthology versus a more intellectual/artistic approach.)
DEC063545 WIMBLEDON GREEN GREATEST COMIC BOOK COLLECTOR I/T WORLD HC $19.95
I love Wimbledon Green. I know it's the fluffiest of Seth's works, but there's a sense of joy in it, some heady, bizarre combination of Uncle Scrooge and Jimmy Corrigan that captivates me.
