Comics in the rain

[avram]

Slogged through the rain to Kinokuniya Books, hoping to score a copy of the first Read or Die book, but I couldn’t find it. Squishing my way back down to the PATH, I stopped in at Jim Henley’s Universe and found issue #2 of 4 Eyes, an anthology comic from Bries, a small Belgian comics publisher. I’d gotten #3 some time ago, and been looking for the earlier issues. Mmmm, European small press in English. I also got The Couriers, by Brian Wood and Rob G.

And yesterday I picked up the first collection of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Forbidden Planet has ’em for $10, though the cover price is $14.95. I wonder if they overstocked, expecting high sales because of the movie. (Or, possibly, a new edition’s coming out with a movie tie-in cover.)

This makes up for there having been only one comic that I buy (New X-Men) out on Wednesday.
