This Isn’t A Library Special: Love For Comic Shops
The information on Diamond's site makes me think this is a small week for new books, and only from their core partners. That means a new
Hellboy book, which is nearly always of a reliable quality.
I did want to re-mention a few books from last week, because last week was probably super-busy, too, and you may not have gone. I didn't. I barely listed them on this site.

Those Gunnerkrigg Court books have been reliable for enough retailers to have mentioned it to me. I do read those when they come out, and in that form, which I think is rewarding one. The Miller Omnibus is basically everything outside of iconic runs he was doing on
Daredevil while still in that early phase of his career. I'm kind of a sucker for those: it's like watching a young actor nail a bunch of guest-stars on TV program on their way to getting their own Netflix deal. I also know that many have very little patience for Miller. There's this week's Mignola-verse book. As I mentioned last week, I love the
Peanuts Sunday color strips Fantagraphics has been doing, and I'm not sure how much excitement there's been for that series. It's the
Peanuts of my childhood, undisputed ruler of the four steps I'd take through the snow in bare feet to get the Sunday paper inside.
Prince Valiant I want in my library in some form, although I'm not aware of this one (I mean, it's box sets, I just don't remember seeing one). Finally, I bet that Spider-Verse book is gone a lot of places, so if your store has one, good on them.
If I didn't list your book it's because Santa asked me not to.
