SHIPPERS Into The Mystery (5/6/09)

TONE: BEMUSED, AS EVER

LOEG III CENTURY #1 1910 (MR) $7.95

ooh ooh

LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN: CENTURY #1 - neato.
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #593: First, the Audacity Of Hope and, now, Septuagenarian Sex - truly, this is the House Of Ideas!
INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #13 - God, Marvel - just give Fraction a Namor ongoing already.
SEAGUY: SLAVES OF MICKEY EYE #2 - jury's still out on Cam's nu broad and chunky-line stylings.

And maybe IRREDEEMABLE - I didn't read the first one, but I imagine it'll be very "Kid Miracleman" carnage and I'm kinda in the mood for that right now.

mickey eye, league of extraordinary gents

That's about it.

I'll be packing exactly the same things as Mr Baez.

League of Gents, Eye of Mickey, Archive of Cerebus and crossing fingers that Diamond actually send out Show of Muppets this week,

Same as Oily, though I approach LOEG with a high degree of trepidation. Oh, and AGENTS OF ATLAS.

AGENTS OF ATLAS #4
HUMAN TORCH COMICS #1 70TH ANNIV SPECIAL

For me:
LoEG III Century I--suggested prerequisite "The Threepenny Opera"
FINAL CRISIS AFTERMATH: RUN #1--because I am a sucker
SEAGUY II #2--God I love this comic
INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #13--hasn't failed me yet
MARVEL YOUR UNIVERSE #4--cheap way to catch up on five series I didn't read the first time around
CEREBUS ARCHIVE #1--with the usual trepidation

Iron Man, LOEG and Seaguy for me...
Maybe Universal War One if I can really be bothered with it

hey, that FIN FANG FOUR RETURN is actually Langridge and not some cheesy Marvel hacks! BOO-YAH!

LoEG failed to come to the East Coast altogether--apparently Diamond accidentally lost a bunch of copies.

SEAGUY = best one yet. Fin Fang Four was fun, but was clearly originally intended to be a 7-page backup in some other comic (it's like six 7-pg. stories). Cerebus Archive is incredibly odd--it's all the pre-history of Sim's career, rather than anything to do with Cerebus proper--but entertaining for sure.

How great was Seaguy? GREATERRIFIC

Still no Muppet Show #2 for Australia – Diamond may or may not fulfil the orders if there’s a second printing, apparently. Cerebus Archive was sold out completely; a smart shop might have added it to all the Following Cerebus standing orders, but hey. They get shelf copies of Glamourpuss, but not of this!

Too bad on Muppets #2, it's leaps and bounds better than #1 (which I liked a lot).
