Shipping May 2nd, 2007

Hi there folks. These are the comics that are scheduled to ship to The Beguiling Books & Art in Toronto, Canada this week. These books may not show up at all retailers at the same time, but if you see a title here it’s probably at least worth asking your local retailer about…

…I realised I rarely ever go back to a post, so if I don’t talk about this week’s books now I probably won’t. Here are some quick thoughts.

JAN072400 ASTONISHING X-MEN #21 2.99
MAR070018 BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER #3 2.99
MAR072108 RUNAWAYS #26 2.99
Wow, it’s like a Jossgasm. It’s nice to be able to get behind these books as well, because while none of them is perfect comics, they’re all at least pretty good, and very-much what Joss Whedon fans are looking for in a comic book. Nice thing #2? The new books are all bang on time, and that kind of regularity is important for an audience that doesn’t understand why they have to put up with monthly serialisation in the first place… Good stuff.

MAR072059 DARK TOWER GUNSLINGER BORN #4 (OF 7) 3.99
Speaking of which, hands-up if you thought a Jae Lee book was going to ship on time? Anyone who put their hands up is a liar.

FEB073807 KORGI VOL 1 TP 10.00
This would be Top Shelf’s next stab at a series of all-ages graphic novels, after the success of Owly. I think this is going to be a very different thing than that book, but the preview looked pretty good, all things considered, and tying Korgi and Owly together through this year’s FCBD will at least give the book a good head-start.

FEB070298 SHOWCASE PRESENTS WAR THAT TIME FORGOT VOL 1 TP 16.99
Ah cool. This collection reprints many of the classic war stories that inspired the opening chapter of Darwyn Cooke’s DC: The New Frontier (if memory serves). This should be some pretty good reading for $16.

DEC061874 WALKING DEAD SORROWFUL LIFE VOL 6 12.99
JAN071930 WALKING DEAD VOL 2 HC (MR) 29.99
Not a hoax! Not an imaginary story! The new Walking Dead trade, AND the second hard cover (collecting issues 13-24 of the series).

That’s what I saw on the list this week, tell me whatcha think.
