Tuesday comics?
My first shipment from DCBS showed up today, so I finally can catch up on the month of comics. The store also included a batch of Free Comic Book Day titles, including Avengers, Wolverine and Shonen Jump. I actually liked the Wolverine one and I'd rather imagine that James "Mac" Hudson and Project H than the one we got in the Wolverine movie. *protective of the original Alpha Flight* I also splurged for the first Trinity trade. It strikes me as classic hammock reading material, if I still had access to one.
Couple of DC-metro area comics related news:
Crystal City regularly hosts an annual summer film festival. This year the film festival is dedicated to super-heroes. The first month showed the Spider-man movies and the Hulk, so I haven't missed much. June is the Superman movies, while July is the X-men movies. Someone clearly hates me because my August birthday is sandwiched around Batman Returns and Batman Forever. At least it's not Catwoman?
The other big news is that Fantom Comics is shutting down its Tenleytown store. But it's not all bad news. Instead, they're adding to their Union Station store and offering a nifty new "home delivery" service for those within a few choice zip codes. So there's finally a comics store close to a Metro station. I visited them on Monday after my short work day and they were unboxing all their stock from the other store. Maybe they won't run out of current issues so quickly.
