It’s the beginning of the final month of 2012, and treasures await you!

As maybe you can possibly tell from the time stamp, this is One Of Those Weeks, and I don’t have a lot of time for pleasant conversation!

It’s beginning to look a lot like ChristmasBlack Friday

It’s a, frankly, dynamite week for high profile periodicals — Like waiting for a mass transit bus, they’re all coming this week, with four brand new MarvelNOW! #1 launches (and a #9) (and another issue of She-Hulk, so, 6 I guess?), and three installments of the “Death of the Family” crossover. PLUS, the last issue of BOYS, the first post-TP issue of SAGA (yay!), and, mm, yes, ZAUCER OF ZILK. Plus, a number of awesome reprint graphic novels, too.

It’s a mighty fine looking week of comics and graphic novels to kick your November off right!

One of the smaller New Comics Days of the year, for a holiday 5th week. This is the time to come clear out your pull box if you haven’t been in for a while, or to buy that GN you were on the fence about, if you’ve already cleared out your sub — your local comic shop’s cash flow is going to be smaller this week. Though, on the East Coast, I would clearly call ahead to make sure that comics are on sale when they’re supposed to be — the storm might knock shipping schedules way off kilter. (and could, conceivably, impact everyone next week)

The fourth of five weeks in the month brings an eclectic mix… but no MarvelNOW! books? Am I missing something?

I think I will pre-call ZAUCER OF ZILK as the book of the week…

Oh, big week — the SAGA TP leads this week with *gulp* eighty distinct new comics, and thirty-four book collections.

You’ll note that I don’t update the shipping list with Baker&Taylor sourced books (things where it’s cheaper buying them from B&T, rather than Diamond), because most weeks it is 2-3 books, that are 1-2 copy titles (in other words: not exciting material). So, when UPS showed up with FIVE B&T boxes this AM, I was shocked… Unpacking them, it’s like this week is the only week of Major Alternative Hits for the year, we got: BEST AMERICAN COMICS 2012 BUILDING STORIES (Ware) — this this is ENORMOUS! FIREFLY: A CELEBRATION GRAPHIC CANON v2 MARS ATTACKS HC (the book reprinting the original cards) MONSTER TURKEY (Trondheim) MUTTS: BONK SC NEW YORK DRAWINGS (Tomine) RED PYRAMID SC ROOKIE YEARBOOK ONE SAILOR… Read More…

Not so many titles this week, but well-packed with stuff — the end of AvX, the second big WALKING DEAD Omnibus, HVC, Moore, and more!

It is a pretty hefty week of comics this week, if you ask me!

Decently packed week, many favorites shipping! (Some reviews by tomorrow, I swears!)

Sorry this is a little late. Nice looking week –especially because of the new LOVE & ROCKETS (Finally!)

Well, or at least that’s the plan — some stores might possibly not receive their books in time to have them out right at opening on Wednesday AM, you might want to call first just to be 100% sure (though, major metropolitan centers should be just fine)

Much more comics than the last two weeks — and lots of DC annuals.

Damn, first day of school in San Francisco — Ben’s in fourth grade already? Preposterous! To celebrate, it’s a smallish week of comics — 84 line items? We get that much in just comics alone some times! — but there’s a few beauties in there; especially the STARSTRUCK TP if you’ve been waiting all of these years for the series to complete, AND be affordable, or the first PROPHET TP. Check more behind the jump!

Not, numerically, a lot of comics, but there’s some fine fine fruit in there.

Relatively small number of titles arriving this week.
