This week on Teenage Wasteland…

J. Michael Straczynski is set to take on both Wonder Woman and the Man of Steel, and I find it interesting. Plus, a small observation on comic sales and the direct market and a run down of reviews on plenty of Number 1 issues.  And, last but not least, Mr. Sandquist stops by to talk all things Sam Kieth.

In what will probably be a slightly controversial episode, host Derek Coward explains why he doesn’t really care about discounts on comic books, but of course will insult some people along the way.

While Derek is off being a good parent with a sick child, Angela and Bockwatcher talk and talk and talk, mostly about how awesome Derek is (especially at writing shownotes), but they talk about other stuff too.

This was a sort of light week for me. I only had four things in my pull list. However, one of them was the newest ‘The Boys’ trade, which I had to leave until next week because I am currently low on funds.

So here is what I left the shop with:
Magog 7 (DC Comics) – I was talking with my comic book dealer and we are both surprised this book hasn’t been cancelled yet. I am pretty sure I am the only one in the shop who gets it, or if I’m not, then the number is definitely in the single digits. Plus, everything I like seems to get cancelled for no good reason.

Pilot Season: Velocity (Image Comics/Top Cow Comics) – I have dug all of the Pilot Season books this year and I’m not sure this will be different. Plus, it’s Kevin Maguire, who I believe doesn’t do nearly enough work nowadays.

Daytripper 4 (Vertigo) – This is one of the most touching poignant books on the shelves right now.
