FCBM7 Day 13

It's day thirteen of the Seventh Annual YACB Free Comic Book Month!

Our next selected entry is from Bryan Irrera. The five comics that Bryan likes are:

1. Fables
2. Echo
3. Legion of Super-Heroes
4. Tiny Titans
5. Chew

And his other thing of interest is acting in community theater.

For Bryan I have Zatanna #8 by Paul Dini & Cliff Chiang.

And as a bonus comic, Bryan gets a copy of A John Stanley Library Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Halloween Treat featuring Nancy and Melvin the Monster.

Bryan's comics should be in the mail within a week. Enjoy!

Commentary:

* The top debut this week is Chester Brown's Paying for It. Last week's top-ten debut, the newest Lunch Lady, slips off the chart completely. The only other debut this week is the latest Negima! volume, waaay down at #50.

* The massive Simonson Thor hardcover continues to do well; this is the rare instance when a Marvel super-hero movie has such demonstrable coattails for a particular collected edition; all the more impressive when you realize that it's a very expensive edition.
