This Isn’t A Library: New And Notable Releases To The Comics Direct Market



*****

Here are the books that jump out at me from this week's probably mostly accurate list of books shipping from Diamond Comic Distributors, Inc. to comic book and hobby shops across North America.

I might not buy all of the works listed here -- I might not buy any -- but were I in a comic book shop tomorrow I would likely pick up the following and look them over, and as a result, my retailer might eat my leftover birthday cake.

AUG084052 WELCOME TO DINGBURG GN VOL 01 A ZIPPY COLLECTION $18.99
One day Zippy will be gone and we will all miss it a lot.

OCT084157 QUEST FOR MISSING GIRL (MR) $25.00
The surprise of the week -- at least if you barely pay attention to what's coming out, like me -- has to be this huge Jiro Taniguchi volume. Oh, I'd just love to see it.

AUG084286 ASTERIX OMNIBUS HC VOL 02 $27.95
So I'm guessing this is a repackaging of multiple Asterix albums like the ones they're doing with Tintin?

OCT080011 BEANWORLD HOLIDAY SPECIAL ONE SHOT $3.50
OCT082434 THOR GOD SIZED #1 $3.99
SEP084368 NAOKI URASAWAS MONSTER TP VOL 18 $9.99
There are a few respectable mainstream comics series with issues out this week like Walking Dead and Uncanny X-Men, but I'd more likely be drawn to Larry Marder's return to comic book comics and the new Matt Fraction-written mini-series starring Marvel's Thunder God. Similarly, I'm sure there are new volumes from manga series I read out this week, but my eyes feel on a new Monster.

OCT080223 HELLBLAZER #250 (NOTE PRICE) $3.99
250. Wow.

The full list of this week's releases, including some titles with multiple cover variations and a long, impressive list of toys and other stuff that isn't comics, can be found here. Despite this official list there's no guarantee a comic will show up in the stores as promised, or in all of the stores as opposed to just a few. Also, stores choose what they carry and don't carry.

To find your local comic book store, check this list; and for one I can personally recommend because I've shopped there, albeit a while back and probably a bit high, try this.

The above titles are listed with their Diamond order code in the first field, which may assist you in finding comics at your shop or having them order something for you they don't have in-stock.

If I didn't list your comic, it's because no one sees your comic but you and that's because you passed away as a child and this comic that only exists when you look at it is the way you're trying to tell yourself to move onto the next life.
