Another Day, Another Sale: AdHouse

AdHouse Books joins Buenaventura Press and SLG as major fixtures in the indy/alt comics market having a pre-Black Friday shopping season launch sales event. The good news is that AdHouse isn't claiming financial hardship in their newly announced sale. The bad news -- not really bad news, maybe the opposite of bad news all things considered -- is that this site is less interested in sales unless there's a survival component involved. Still, a company like AdHouse can never be doing great, and what they're offering are a few of their best books and a lot of "let's see what that cartoonist is like" individual issues, so from that point of view the sales will serve any fans of quality funnybooks.

If I were doing an order it would be a copy of the latest in maybe their flagship series Process Recess Vol. 3; a copy of perhaps the best book they've done, Driven By Lemons; individual issues of J. Chris Campbell's Zig Zag because it's pretty and Zack Soto's The Secret Voice because it's imaginative and cool, and a copy of Lamar Abrams' Remake because it's the kind of new voice, one-shot book that AdHouse routinely does well. But that's a generally strong group at good prices.
