(For your reading pleasure, perhaps you might view a Ghostbusters trailer, as it took me much longer to type than it’ll take you to read.)

Fear agent Vol 1 HC

If you have any type of rate of interest in this huge ol’ over-sized difficult cover whatsoever, I strongly desire you to preorder this book. Word on “the street” (a.k.a.

Calling this a new edition is type of like calling a grapefruit a new edition of an orange. My strange similes aside, the very first two volumes of this series have been doing gangbusters sales in a short amount of time (despite the previous edition having been in print as well as selling well for years). purchase it sooner than later to be sure you don’t have to wait any type of longer than… I don’t know… molasses in winter?

If you have the money as well as you’re not sure whether or not you’re going to want it, just go ahead as well as pre-order it, since they practically always offer out before they ship as well as seldom ever come back into print… as well as they practically always double in value in about a month.

Aw yeah, Hellions in pink!!!

Brilliant #7

Brilliant #7

Honestly, this is just ridiculous.

Issue #4 has come up for final purchase Cutoffs (the thing where sellers can fine tune their numbers about 3 1/2 weeks before a book ships) for the past month, as well as it’s something like 4 months late anyways. The very first thing that ought to occur — after being sure an problem is really done so it can go to press as soon as final numbers are in — is not to keep noting books that won’t be out for one more six months anyways.

Things such as this aren’t assisting creator-owned comics at all.

~

Well, I didn’t truly plan on ending on a unfavorable note, however Ghostbusters is practically over as well as I’m prepared to go to bed. depending upon exactly how things go, perhaps I’ll have one more one of these for you next week (but don’t hold your breath, please).
