Weekly Comic Shopping List 3/3/10


A blessedly small week, finally.
- Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season 8 Vol 6 Retreat TP-- I'm hoping this series picks up the pace a bit. Honestly, I can't remember what's happened in any of the volumes past a giant Dawn rampaging through the streets of Tokyo, which I think was actually in the 4th trade. What did happen in the fifth trade? I'd like to know.
- Sweet Tooth #7-- The last page of Sweet Tooth #6 was absolutely wrenching and it looks like #7 picks up that emotion, capturing the tone that Lemire perfected in his Essex County books. If you asked me to name my favorite books of the moment, I have the feeling that I would overlook Sweet Tooth but each and every issue is just such a gut punch that I think I want to forget it as much as possible. But here it is, another Wednesday, and I'm waiting for my gut punch. Thanks, Lemire.
- Girl Comics#1-- Anthologies aren't doing much for me right now. They're filled with some fantastic stories, some crappy stories and some middle of the road stories. But this one looks like a lot of fun.
