Finally Released!

It’s been a while coming and often delayed, but two of the most requested titles are to be released on June 25th.
The first is All Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder (try saying that 3 times real fast). This hard cover reprints issues 1-9 of the controversial series. Why is it controversial? Hang out at the shop and poll our customers. We have never seen so many people hate this title and buy it anyway. Why do they buy it? Because deep down inside, it’s good. Frank Miller’s latest take on the Dark Knight is an ultimate no holds barred version of Batman. This isn’t your father’s Batman. Beautifully illustrated by Jim Lee, this collection is a must have.
Our second most requested paperback this year is Walking Dead Vol. 8 - Made to Suffer. What can I say about this series that hasn’t been said already. This is not an ordinary zombie story. This is the best zombie story ever told. What makes this such a special zombie story is that it’s not about the zombies. It’s about the personal relationships and tragedies of those caught up in a zombie apocalypse. There is no explanation for the origin of the zombies, just a psychological thrill ride carrying the survivors where they never imagined they would go. If you have not read Walking Dead you should take advantage of our graphic novel sale and catch up. Also, Walking Dead comes with a money back guarantee. If you don’t like it, just trade it in for something else.

For the record, Jason, I both hate it AND refuse to buy it.

Yeah, I’m with that guy. Any series that isn’t even worth buying for Jim Lee’s art is just pathetic. I even gave it another try and now want my money back from Miller all most as much as I want it from George Lucas.
And I get the feeling the whole series is there to explain why Dick goes psycho in DK Strikes Back. “Let’s see, I’ll take a ten year old in pornographic underwear, have him watch his parents killed and then immediately have him kidnapped by a frat boy in bondage gear whose apparently gangsta bc he thinks he’s a soldier. Said frat boy will then physically and psychologically torture and emotionally cripple the ten year old. And he’ll grow up to be a villain so the frat boy can be humanity’s savior. BRILLIANT!”
