Wednesday is new comic day.

Now, the last time I went shopping for comics in the pouring rain, I pretty much cursed my existence and the situation (though, in my defense, it was sunny when I left the house).

In spite of the unpleasant weather, I had a good time today. I picked up some interesting titles:

American Splendor - No. 3: I pretty much came to this title because of the superb film from a few years back. These issues are basically short stories about the life of (and told from the perspective of) Harvey Pekar. This issue starts with a story from Pekar's childhood. It's ultimately a sad story and, I admit, it took me some time to recover. However, a story about Pekar's medication and the calming powers of a cat makes for a nice antidote.

Galaxy Quest - Global Warning: Essentially based on the 1999 comedy, it pretty much follows up on the promise of the ending...a new GQ series is set to hit the air, just as a ship looks ready to invade Earth. Strong artwork and an interesting story make this a title I'll definitely follow up on.

She-Hulk #31: This is a title I've been missing...literally; in the last few months, every time a new issue has been released, it's been sold out. Utilizing an anime-esque art style, the story told of lawyer-turned-bounty hunter Jen Walters and her scrapes with mutant detective agency X-Factor. Maybe I need to get the issues I've missed, but it's wonderful to have a new issue of "She-Hulk" in my hands again.

Teen Titans Go! - Truth, Justice, Pizza: A collection of early issues of the comic. Some of the lines are a tad cheesy, but fans of the show and comic will enjoy it.

This post reminds me of a feature I've been meaning to start up here. Hopefully, it will be soon.
