Weekly Comic Shopping List 12/16/09

What a weird week.  So far, luckily, I don't think I've had any kind of huge week in December.  It's either no one is putting out anything or I'm not reading anything. 

  • Elephantmen #23 --I think the beauty of Elephantmen is that it can be almost any kind of story.  I know I've read almost every issue but I've kind of lost track of the story at this point.  This is part 8 of a storyline that I hate to say I couldn't tell you want's happened in the previous 7 parts.  I need to dig out all of the issues and catch up with this one.

  • Children of the Sea V2 -- I never got much of a chance to write about the first volume but I absolutely loved this book.  The loose art was such a different thing than I'm used to seeing in manga, where everything looks so controlled and deliberate (at least in what I've been exposed to so far.)  I've gotten a bit too used to the bi-monthly release of Urasawa's stuff that I've been anxiously waiting to get this book.

  • Ooku Inner Chambers V2-- I've been told that this is a very good series but for some reason, I haven't read the first volume yet.  Hopefully when this one comes, I'll read both of them and figure out if this is one to stick with or not.
