Shipping May 16, 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.

Here’s my top 7 for this week, and links to more info cos I’m a bit too tired to do much more than that right now:

MAR073498 30 DAYS OF NIGHT EBEN & STELLA #1 3.99 – Props to my friend Kelly Sue DeFraction on her new mini-series with Steve Niles. More at: http://www.kellysue.com/blog/2007/04/11/hey-kid-wanna-buy-a-nine/

FEB070258 BATMAN BLACK AND WHITE VOL 3 HC 24.99 – I like superhero comics when they’re like this: artistically innovative, editorially hands-off, and continuityless. I’ve got the first two hard covers, and this one collected various shorts and back-up stories should be good. http://dccomics.com/comics/?cm=7136

DEC063568 MISERY LOVES COMEDY HC (MR) 24.95 – It’s Ivan Brunetti time! Schizo 1-3 plus a fuckload of other material. Hopefully this will be a big heavy reminder for him to keep doing comics… http://fantagraphics.com/artist/brunetti/brunetti.html

FEB073160 MOUSE GUARD VOL 1 FALL 1152 HC (C: 0-0-1) 24.95 – I’m not actually convinced that this holds together. That said, I’m looking to give it a go, and from what I hear the packaging on this one is gorgeous. http://www.davidpetersen.net/mouseguard/index.htm

MAR073788 NARUTO VOL 14 TP (C: 1-0-0) 7.95 – I’m really going to have to catch up on this one day… For now though, I’ll just let it pay my salary.  http://www.shonenjump.com/mangatitles/n/manga_n.php

FEB070235 PLAIN JANES 9.99 – The first release in Vertigo’s MINX line-up. I’ve had an ARC of this for a little while and just haven’t found time to read it, but the reviews I’m reading all seem to be tending towards “Solid, if unspectacular” which seems very Vertigo-y in a lot of ways. Still, I’m rooting for this line for a couple of reasons: more comics for girls, more concerted effort to market comics at girls, more opportunities for creators working outside of the monthly superhero comic paradigm. http://dccomics.com/minx/

OCT062127 ULTIMATES 2 #13 3.99 – Who had May 16 in the pool? Despite myself, I want to see how this ends. Also this week: All Star Batman and Robin #5. Which I think is like “doubling down” at Blackjack. http://marvelcomics.com/catalog/?book_id=5715
