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



*****

Here are the books that make an impression on me staring at this week's no-doubt largely 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. You never know. I'd sure look at the following, though.

*****

NOV100025 BPRD HELL ON EARTH GODS #1 PT 1 GUY DAVIS CVR $3.50
NOV100024 BPRD HELL ON EARTH GODS #1 RYAN SOOK CVR $3.50
The Mike Mignola-verse juggernaut continues. Both those covers are bound to be attractive, although I'm not sure they're an extra $3.50 attractive. Not a publishing move aimed at me, though, obviously.

NOV101133 DODGEM LOGIC MAGAZINE #6 (MR) $7.00
It's such a light weak of material at the comics store that I would imagine it's a good time to check out Alan Moore's magazine effort.

NOV100170 KNIGHT & SQUIRE #4 $2.99
I'm not going to say there's a hitch in the general function of the comics market, but I will say there always seems to be one or two superhero comic books coming out where I think, "It will be fun to read those two years from now when I can buy them for $1 each at my comic book shop. Just sayin'.

NOV100623 CASANOVA GULA #1 (MR) $3.99
This is I believe Marvel's reprinting of the second half of existing Casanova comics, in full color and with lettering.

NOV100546 THOR MIGHTY AVENGER #8 $2.99
Is the last one? I can't remember. Yes, it is. I guess there's still the FCBD offering that would technically be the last one for now. In case you forgot, this was the Roger Langridge and Chris Samnee romantic sitcom-style Thor comic book that was squeezed off the stands. One day this will be remembered by two completely different sets of comics fans as "Do you remember when Roger/Chris did that weird Thor comic?"

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 so your shop may not carry a specific publication. There are a lot of comics out there.

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, 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. Ordering through a direct market shop can be a frustrating experience, so if you have a direct line to something -- you know another shop has it, you know a bookstore has it -- I'd urge you to consider all of your options.

If I failed to list your comic, that's on me. I apologize.
