New comic day...
Jan. 13th, 2010 05:57 pmThis week I got one book:
New Mutants #9 (relatively good... technically released last week, but I didn't realize).
Full reviews as usual at my comic reviews site for anyone interested.
At the used bookstore (and one at a regular bookstore's discount bin), I picked up the following:
Shadows Bend by David Harbour and Richard Raleigh ("HP Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard really teamed up to fight the type of Cthulhuesque evil Lovecraft wrote about")
Old Twentieth, by Joe Haldeman
Nebula Awards Showcase 2007
Also discovered a new used bookstore. Technically not new, I guess it's been there for a few months now, and technically I saw it about a month or two ago, but I didn't enter the first time I saw it and hadn't had a chance to go in until now. But it's right on my way home from comics, and yet still close enough from home that I can see myself popping occasionally even if it's not a comic day. Respectable size SF shelf, too (they even have a separate shelf for Canadian SF). Didn't buy any of the books from there this time, but I could see myself doing so in the future.
Oh, and I just learned that series 2 of Survivors has FINALLY started airing. Have to get that (through... magic) and watch it, really enjoyed the first season.
