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 later today:
The Pick of the Week is
Richard Sala's new graphic novella,
The Grave Robber's Daughter, from Fantagraphics. Sala's stories are nearly always fun-spooky, and worth both your $$$ and your reading time.
In other comics:
Asbtract have the latest
Strangers in Paradise (#87)
Antarctic bring the GD love with three comics:
Gold Digger #81,
GD Sourcebook #2, and
Gold Digger 15 Year Anniversary Special #2. There are also new issues of
Ninja High School (#146) and
Dinowars (#2).
Archie have a new issue of
Sabrina (#82).
Dark Horse have the 100th issue of Stan Sakai's
Usagi Yojimbo.
DC have the 5th collection of Grant Morrison's classic
Doom Patrol, and well as the final volume of Morrison's
Seven Soldiers of Victory (vol. 4). There are also new issues of
52 (week 39),
Blue Beetle (#11),
Ex Machina (#26),
Hawkgirl (#60),
Jack of Fables (#7), and
Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters (#7).
Image have new issues of
Elephentmen (#6),
Negative Burn (#8), and
The Walking Dead (#34).
Marvel have the third collection of Whedon & Cassaday's
Astonishing X-Men; a collection of the very fun Giffen/DeMatteis/Maguire
Defenders; and new issues of
Daredevil (#93) &
Kabuki (#8).
Meisha Merlin have the second collection of Robert Asprin & Phil Foglio's
Myth Adventures.
Plus Del Rey, TokyoPop & Viz all have tons of manga volumes dropping this week. I know that Diamond doesn't care about the manga that much, but couldn't they try a little to spread things out a bit more?
