Anticipating new comics

[avram]

After last week’s anguish over not having any new comics to read, I was a bit overwhelmed to see four new items in this week’s scan: Girl Genius #10, Boneyard #12, New X-Men #148, and Ranma 1/2 Vol 24 TPB. Then I remembered that I’d dropped Girl Genius and Boneyard down to buy-only-in-TPB status. (New X-Men will almost certainly either join them there or get dropped entirely after Grant Morrison leaves the book.) And drcpunk or mnemex will no doubt pick up Girl Genius #10 and bring it along to Games Club where I can read it.

Speaking of TPBs, I also see that New X-Men Vol 5, the “Assault On Weapon Plus” TPB, is shipping this week. Props to Marvel for getting these things out so quick; the “Weapon Plus” storyline (not one of Morrison’s best) just wrapped up two or three months ago.

And Thursday should be new comics day this week, because Monday was Columbus Day. I hope we all celebrated appropriately, discovering new continents and enslaving their existing denizens.
