DARK AVENGERS #4 meh

70TH ANNIV ALAN DAVIS POSTER $8.99

I had no idea he was that old.

slim shippings! All I see for me is RASL.

For me:

FINAL CRISIS LEGION OF THREE WORLDS #4--they still publish this?
THE MUPPET SHOW #2

Summer can't come fast enough.

MUPPET MUPPET MUPPET woo!

Fuck you, Diamond: you didn't ship Muppet Show to Australia, and so because I'd already walked into the city carry three bags, just to make sure I didn't get the crappy cover of Boom's retarded variant policy, I decided not to waste the trip out of my way, and went to the bookshop instead. And they were having 20% off all comics and manga today through Saturday, for Free Comics Day, and so I spent $200 on:

- Beto's Chance In Hell pulp hardcover (they still had three copies of this, and never got the second one in)
- A Last Cry For Help by Dave K. on Bodega
- the first of Valentino's dinky little hardcover Ted McKeever Library volumes, collecting Transit. not sure if I'll like the shrunken art (or McKeever's oblique action style these days!) but if I do I could nip back tomorrow night and grab the Eddy and Metropol volumes...
three of the reconfigured shrunkenised DH Paul Chadwicks --
- Concrete Vol 2: Heights
- Concrete Vol 4: Killer Smile
- Concrete Vol 5: Think Like A Mountain
-- skipped 6 and 7 bcz six was painted and looked like complete shit in greyscale, and I suspect the fumes had run very dry on the concept by vol 7 - retelling the origin!
- Batman: Snow, collecting the JH Williams/DC Johnson/Seth Fisher LOTDK that I bought when it came out but what the hell, Fisher's one of only two non-writing cartoonists I'll buy just to eye-adore their drawing
- the nice-looking hardcover of Lethem and Dalrymple and Hornschemeier's Omega The Unknown revamp for Marvel
- Sublife graphic novel/#1/amazing print object by John Pham - most amazing-looking thing Fanta's done without Jacob Covey on design in years?
- second volume of Fanta's Rocky (Swedish cross between Hate and Hepcats, done as a daily) - annoyingly on different cover stock to the first vol!
- and one more FBi joint, the Late Bloomer hardcover by Carol Tyler that I look at every time there's a sale on, and finally gave in to.

Fucking hell, that's a nice haul. Was it Kinokuniya?

Yep – they had a table and bunch of shelves up the front with 50% off stickers too, but that was up since last week and has been scavenged badly.

No way I’m going near the other McKeevers unless Valentino mails me an extra centimetre of spine margin so the panels can be seen, and a magnifying glass so the dialogue can be read. Bloody shrinkwrap.

That forthcoming Carol Tyler book "You'll Never Know" is the best thing she's ever done, which is saying something. Really great.

Great pile. Rocky is wonderful. Late Bloomer is just so so good.

Why is Batman hitting Rorschach?

So Rorschach doesn't hit him in the head with a metal pipe.
