> CG ENTERTAINMENT
> John Carpenters Snake Plissken #1 Rodriguez Cvr Ed, $2.99
"Heard he was - ", no, wait I've already used that line on another group
today. Bugger. I wasn't going to get this, but I watched "Escape from New
York" again the other night and now I want more.
> DC COMICS
> Global Frequency #8 (Of 12), $2.95
No idea who the artist is this time, but I've been enjoying the mix of
genres and narrative styles in "Global Frequency" so far and don't expect
this issue to be any different.
> Hellblazer #184, $2.75
It's strange - I like Carey's "Hellblazer", but I have trouble remembering
the actual stories more than a week after I've read them.
> HARRIS COMICS
> Vampirella #20 Reg Ed, $2.99
Yay. More John Smith weirdness. That's a *good* thing.
> MARVEL COMICS
> Mystique #2, $2.99
Still undecided about this. The first issue was solid, but lacked any
strong hook to come back for the second issue. I'm also wondering whether a
six-issue opening story arc for a new series is just a little too long.
> X-Treme X-Men Vol 3 Schism TPB, $16.99
Thought I'd check in on X-Treme X-Men again and see how things are going.
I've heard that Claremont has de-purpled his porse somewhat since the early
issues, but even if that's not the case Ransom and Larocca's art is always
easy on the eye.

>DARK HORSE COMICS
I thought the new Usagi was coming out this week...?
>Batman #615, $2.25
More mindless, well-drawn fun.
>Crumb Comics Vol 1 Early Years SC (Star02357), $19.95
I'll probably get this eventually, since I missed out on the Complete Crumb
books, and I've yet to see them anywhere around here.
>Fantastic Four #69, $2.25
I really like where the current story arc is going.
Delayed weeks are always awkwardly eerie...

Got this in the mail today. One of the worst Avengers issues I've read,
approaching Larry Hama bad.

One of the two Tsunami books I'm buying.

Probably drop this in favor of the trades. It reads better that way.

I think I'll drop this, too. That would leave New X-Men as the only
Marvel book I'm still getting as issues (that I'm sure will be
collected - there's still a couple that I get that may or may not be
that are more of a gamble). Most series I've decided to wait on the
trades.

I don't find it slow at all. The pace seems to reflect the way the battle
was waged- basically the Canadians won by attrition. Is there even a trade
available? I thought they were waiting for the story to finish (this is the
last issue, and a fine end to the story. I still haven't sat down and reread
all the issues yet.) The complete story will be collected in September.

The release schedule is slow, not the content. There is a trade of
#1-8. #10 is not the last issue, by far. You have this confused with
something else.

You actually have to pay for it? I get it free with my service at my
comic shop.
Carlos Hernandez
Up until a few months ago he gave it away to subscribers, but he says
Diamond changed its terms and he now needs to charge us. The deal is we
pay for it, then get the money back if we bring it back. Lately, he's let
the payment slide, since he knows I'll bring it back.

Yes.
It's a great, diverse collection of work. There are spectacular sketches - Jim
Lee, Bill Sienkiewicz, Sam Kieth, James Owen, Duncan Fegredo ("way after Ian
Gibson") spring to mind. And some extended articles, and profiles as well as
shorter vignettes.
It starts with Gary Spencer Millidge's own story of Alan Moore compiled in a 12
panel grid with various relevant art both new and from Moore's books.
And the stories range from "inspired by" to "tribute to" Alan Moore, if it was
just an anthology of comics this would be a good buy, but you add in the above
and long articles by Steve Bissette, the conversation with Dave Sim and the
lecture notes of Jose Alaniz and you've got a bargain.
(And I love the Metaphrog story.)

You can rely on them to be good.
If you a have a problem with the long time between issues, well it'll be your
loss.
The latest issue moves the murder mystery along with the village bobby's
ruminations on the suspects, and a Masonic ritual.

The lag time doesn't bother me. It's just that it's a series I've been
getting in trade. My dilemma is do I pass on the issue and count on the
next trade coming out? Or buy the issue in case it never does?
In any case it seems my choice was made for me. My store didn't have any
copies [left?] anyway.

My store owner eventually started giving them to me free, but he gets a

I'd never do that. Previews gives customers the ability to buy comics
without the store risking unsold stock. The store makes a profit with
zero risk.
Any store that pulled that wouldn't be getting my business.

The fact that someone gets Previews at a store doesn't mean that
they'll get items *from* Previews at that store. The store at which I
get Previews is not where I get most of my comics (though I do get a
lot of comics at that store); I use my local shop for impulse
purchases and titles I want to sample before committing to, but get
most of my comics by mail-order.
My situation is odd, but I can't imagine I'm the only person of which
this is true.

Well, there's only one character from the Escape From ... movies in it, and
he's the title character. The likeness is excellent. The writing is
somewhere between poor and above average, depending on whether you've seen

You're not. There are a number of people at my store who only get
Previews, either because they're ordering through the mail to get a
bigger discount or because they want to try to keep up with plotlines
without buying the comics. Either way, it's not something they should
get for free.

If you're pre-ordering from the store, I think it would be a good perk
by the retailer to give away the catalog. To other customers? No, they
should pay.

That's exactly how my old comic book store did it - you order 15 bucks a
month from pre-ordering/pull lists, you get Previews for free. He used to
give it away to everybody for free, but he was trying to drum up the
pre-order business over the course of the year by doing so.

In that case, I can understand it, although I think it's a little
silly to mail order when you have a perfectly good comic shop that
will probably give you better prices and no wait, but to each their
own.

Most stores can't complete directly on price with online deep
discounters, because the online folks don't have to pay for all the
physical costs of having a store. Stores do provide timely service, as
you say, however, and the best ones have better customer service.

No, but you do have to pay shipping most of the time, you can't look
at the comics beforehand and you don't get the comics for a week or
more after they are released. Seems a lot of downsides and not many
upsides for tiny percentage of savings.

Depending on how much I order, shipping is free. I don't need to look
at comics beforehand to know which ones I definitely want to buy. Any
that I'm on the fence about, I don't preorder and instead seek them
out when they're released. I'm not so obsessive anymore that I need my
books the very day they are released. The savings are very significant
for me, something like 35-40% when factoring in no sales tax as well.
Lots of pluses and almost no minuses as far as I'm concerned. ;-)
As far as customer service, the store I order from is a real actual
store with real actual people and real actual regular walk-in
customers (albeit in Illinois), not some mindless automaton
warehouse/catalog company with employees who know nothing about
comics. <g> I'm satisfied with their customer service.
