Dropped in on my Comic Dude last night. Shop was technically closed but they host a Magic the Gathering game night so it was packed. I went in to get my very late pulls and ended up buying a load of impulse buys.

Turns out my Comic Dude is OBSESSED with Dr. Horrible. Even though he is adamantly a non-Buffy/Angel/Firefly fan.

Am loving the 3 part Hellboy series The Crooked Man. I love Mignola.

So, I'm not sure if anyone in the thread knew or cares, but HBO is not picking up the tv show "Preacher" based on the graphic novel.

Ah, I was wondering if there was any official news about that. Alas. Or maybe good, since Mark Steven Johnson is not who I'd really want at the helm.

This is just so adorable. A 7 year-old reviews comics. [link]

My favorite bit:

Spider-Man is happy because someone is finally nice to him

Runner-up:

The aliens look a little like cats and the alien children looked just like kittens. Nova rescues the alien children but then needs to go fight. It was sort of stupid that he went and left them all alone though after saving them. Now they’re going to be in trouble again.

He sounds so resigned!

Comic book thought of the day: Don't fuck with Squirrel Girl!

Attention: Anyone going into a relatively well-stocked comic shop this week--can you please check and see if they have a copy of Buckaroo Banzai: The Prequel Issue #1? I have #2 on order but my guy couldn't get #1 for me.

Lesson learned: Read the Previews a little more thoroughly so I don't miss stuff like this.

If anyone can get me a copy, I will reimburse you for the comic and postage.

Oh, hey, Top Shelf is having a $3 graphic novel sale (and some other titles that aren't $3 but are still nicely discounted: [link]

My store didn't have it, sorry.

Thanks for checking, P-C.
