It Came From the Back Room #12
Standard recap: I’m slowly going through AABC’s one-million-plus back-issue room, restocking the boxes on the sales floor and pulling stuff to sell as discount/overstock/special items. I’m going through the alphabet backwards (don’t ask), and at my speed (even with school on holiday break right now), this amounts to a two-year project. This week, I’ve managed to finish “M” and get started on “L.” As it turns out, there are no Marvel “L” regular series (well, Logan’s Run, which lasted seven issues, but that’s under “Marvel Movie and TV Tie-ins”), so it’s all indy and DC titles for the time being. … Continue reading
Fresh Eyes On Old Books #11 by Dan!

The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #8 by Dan!
Interesting week here kids, let’s do this! My Top Five (The Five Best Comics of the Week): Punisher Max: Tiny Ugly World Writer: David Lapham Artist: Dalibor Talajic This book makes it to the top five based on how many times I went “oh holy S#!*” while I was reading it. Lapham? Still crazy. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Much like Garth Ennis, Lapham often tries to gross out with the extreme, and he succeeds so much. I found myself unable to stop reading this book no matter how bad I might have wanted to. The reason this … Continue reading
