Comic Book Run
Sunday, February 26
On Thursday night I went on a comic run. One of the last I'll be doing as frequently as I have been. I've been going to Kwality Comics in Lawrence for quite some time now, and having to tell them I'm taking my business elsewhere is like breaking up. It's hard to do.
I'm uncertain just how up to par this new store is going to be starting out, after all, he's new to it. So I'll give it time, and so I'm sure I'll be going to Kwality Comics again in the future, if anything else then to just say hey. After all, the people there were cool to me.
But for now, let's get to the comics, what do we have here? Um, I see my DC Comic stash kind of surrounded. Yep, it's bookended by both Marvel and Image, how can this be?
On the left we have some Marvel books. A Giant-Sized one-shot of Ms. Marvel. Damn, I should have flipped through this before actually buying. This was one impulse buy I regret. Uncany X-Men, wasn't bad... wasn't great. I may pick up the next issue. Just for the hell of it. The New Avengers was almost made up of splash pages. At least 8 or 9 pages worth, starting up an "epic" storyline. Last, we have the Iron Spidey issue. I bought this just to have it. I don't know if I'll continue this arc or not.
Most of the DC Comics wrapped up storylines, getting ready for a universal jump "One Year Later". All the books in the DCU line are jumping OYL due to the mega crossover events of Infinite Crisis. Hope things work out for that. Wait and see is all I can do. Batgirl finished her series out with a last issue. Supergirl was an extra long issue, playing catch up to shipping delays and the up-coming OYL jump. Like Avengers, this too had many splash pages in it.
Last we have The Walking Dead by Image. I've read the first four trades and now have the current issues, so I am totally up to date with The Walking Dead. I've added this title to my monthly rotation. All in all not a bad two weeks worth.
