This Week's Haul

This was a pretty good (and expensive) week for me. My town has 4 local comic shops, and I shop at all of them to some extent, as well as Amazon when the price warrants. I'll write a post sometime about the economics of shopping around and how I try to stretch my comic dollars as far as they can go, but that's a discussion for another time.

As for today's haul, it will probably take me the rest of the week to read through everything. I am not a particularly fast reader, much to my eternal shame and lament, but I certainly don't enjoy reading any less because of this cognitive shortcoming. What is does mean though, is that I have a massive backlog of unread material that I am slowly working through. I have a "reading pile" that at present consists of the following:

EC Archives Tales from the Crypt vol 2

DC Archives All Star vol 8

Spirit Archives vol 7

Marvel Masterworks Amazing Spiderman vol 8

1602

Tales of the Batman: Tim Sale

Asimov's Foundation's Edge (a non-comic, gasp!)

Virgin's Dan Dare vol 1

and half-a-dozen regular comics, including Star Wars, Savage Sword of Conan, Aztec Ace, and Alien Legion.

So, I'd better get back to it. :)
