Based on the NCRL list for this week's comics shipping from Diamond, here are a few things to look for at the local comic shop tomorrow:
The Pick of the Week is Curses, the collection of Kevin Huizenga's work from Kramer’s Ergot and The Drawn & Quarterly Showcase. Huizenga is a huge fave here, and a hardcover collection will be extra nice. (PDF Preview)
