newnumber6This week I got two books:
Loners #6 (disappointing ending, felt like half a story)
New X-Men #44 (bit too grim for my tastes, decided I'm not going to pick up the rest of MC, even if it means temporarily dropping books I already buy)
Full reviews up as usual at my comic reviews site for anyone interested.
Also found at the used bookstore World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War. Mmmm, zombies.
At the same used bookstore I noticed they had a lot of Marvel hardcovers right by the cashout, on for fairly cheap, mostly under $20. Some of them were mildly tempting but I was particularly tempted by the Runaways Vol 1 Hardcover (collecting the first 18 issues), for just $20. I already have the individual issues, but still, mmm. Unfortunately, money's a bit tight at the moment and Xmas is coming up so I can't really justify such a purchase to myself, but there was a fair stack of them there, so maybe if they're still there if/when things start looking up. (Anyone on my flist in Toronto who's interested, it's the used bookstore right next to the World's Biggest Bookstore, saw a bunch of different stuff... X-Factor HC, couple different Ultimate Universe HCs, and a bunch of other stuff)
Work was okay, early enough and a light load, but the walk home (and to the comic store) was a killer. 2-3 hour walk through rain. When I got home I could barely type, my hands were so stiff. Getting better now though.
