Part of the fun of looking over the list of the week’s comics is trying to remember what I pre-ordered. (I really should make a copy, or at least jot down a list as I fill out the Previews form. Given how disorganized I am with stuff that actually matters, I don’t see this happening any time soon.)
I’m almost positive I marked ALC’s Rica ‘tte Kanji! because I wanted to sample some yuri manga. But did I check off Calvacade of Boys from Poison Press? I hope so, if only because it will seem like staging a weird, mini-pride week in my reserves file. My comics are here! They’re queer! You should be used to it by now!
I’m sure I didn’t pre-order the next volumes of Fullmetal Alchemist (Viz) or Othello (Del Rey), and I probably won’t pick them up tomorrow, but they’ll go on the “someday at the bookstore” list. Something tells me I will find a copy of Perfect Day for Love Letters (Del Rey) in my stack. Knowing myself as I do, I’m probably too much of a sap to pass up a title like that.
I’ll probably pick up the Darwyn Cooke issue of Solo from DC, along with the conclusion of the Giffen-DeMatteis-Maguire run on JLA Classified. Marvel actually has a pretty good week, what with the always excellent Runaways, Dan Slott’s delightful Spider-Man/Human Torch, and the insufficiently homoerotic but otherwise entertaining Young Avengers on the way.
Hm. That’s quite a bit.
