This Week's Shopping List: July 13, 2005

Heck of a week, here. That's why I'll be making the 2 hour round trip to Night Flight Comics again. I called my local place, asking when I could get there to actually find copies on the shelf, and it was explained that they just don't order any extras on most titles. I understand the finances of running a shop ... but that just seems off. There's always interesting debate on what makes a good comic shop. I'd like to humbly submit that stocking some comics is a good start.

In any other week, All Star Batman And Robin The Boy Wonder would be the obvious top pick. Or Serenity, as I'm a huge fan of Firefly and so is my wife. Or Desolation Jones, as I'm a whore for Ellis, especially his creator-owned work. Or the start of Mark Millar's Ultimate Fantastic Four run, which sounds just like the sort of high-concept sci-fi fun that suits the team best. And there's more Seven Soldiers, the "Sacrifice" plotline in Action Comics, and the "Crisis of Conscience" arc in JLA.

But this week's real top book? The Boy Who Lived, of course. Preordered from Amazon, and Saturday can't come soon enough.
