I was long overdue for a comics fix, so I paid a visit to the good folks at Big Brain yesterday and they gladly supplied me with an oversized bag to contain the surfeit of reading material I had purchased. I’m looking forward to checking out the first few issues of the new Dark Tower and Buffy the Vampire Slayer series, as well as the three new issues of Astro City that have appeared since my last visit (Kurt Busiek is a genius and finding new material of his on the shelves is always a treat, albeit an irregular one). I thought about picking up the first volumes of Fables and Runaways, but I exercised judicious restraint and deferred those items for a future binge.
What are my fellow geeks reading?
Fables and Runaways are top-of-the-line comics. I bet you’ll love them once you give them a shot. Also check out the other series by Brian K. Vaughan — Ex Machina and Y the Last Man.
I’ve heard of Astro City, but never read it. I’ll have to give it a try.
