Weekly Comic Shopping List 11/4/09
What a small week this week which isn't bad. I've actually only got 4 single issues and 2 possible graphic novels that I may pick up if I ever get the chance to. I'm kind of glad I've got Freakangels V3 and BPRD V11 on order to read this week if the US postal service ever get the books to me.
- Sweet Tooth #3-- I wasn't too sure about this series after the first issue but the second issue made me a believer. It took a bit for me to realize that this wasn't the Essex County books or The Nobody but more of a post-apocalyptical road story with a tinge of Lemire's moody styling. Once you can get past the idea that there's no hockey or even Canada in this book, it's dang good.
- Criminal Omnibus HC--Well, here's your third opportunity to catch Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips' excellent Criminal series. So here's the first three trades with a ton of extra stuff. Now I can handle that the trade paperbacks don't have the little essay about noir movies in them but I really miss seeing Sean Phillips' original issue covers. For me, more Sean Phillips' artwork is the really selling point of this collection.
- Stumptown #1-- Rucka doing his take on The Rockford Files? I'm there for that. After last week's excellent Detective Comics, I'm really looking forward to this type of story that seems to fit so well with Rucka's style.
- Grimjack: The Manx Cat #4
- Starstruck #3-- Really enjoying IDW's presentation of these two classic titles, even if I still don't have any idea of what's happening in Starstruck.
- Johnny Cash I See A Darkness TP-- Reinhard Kleist's artwork looks phenomenal. Looking at this website, I'd like to check out a book of his stuff sometime so I guess a book about a boy named Sue wouldn't be a bad place to begin.
