New Comics Day
Yep, today is new comics day, Wednesday -- I won't get to the shop until this weekend, but I am really excited about ABSOLUTE WATCHMEN, the deluxed, slipcased hardcover of the Alan Moore/Dave Gibbons deconstructionist superhero masterwork. I've been itching to re-read the trade for months now, but knowing this was coming, I put it off to enhance the experience of digging into the oversized wonders of the Absolute version.

I think I'm starting to get over the cold I've had since last Sunday, feeling a lot better. I haven't posted anything on Kochalkaholic! in a few days, but there hasn't been any Kochalka news that I am aware of, so I have to accept that there's occasionally going to be a lull there.

I remember holding the original slipcased hardcover in my hands, back when it first came out, and thinking, "boy, I'd sure like to get this."

Of course, I didn't, and I've spent the last couple of decades regretting it. I am so buying this new version...assuming Diamond includes it in our shipment, which they've forgotten to do with deluxe hardcovers in the past. Feh.

I'm not sure putting out two expensive Alan Moore hardcovers on the same day was the best idea. Maybe they could have held off on V for Vendetta for a bit, since the film has been moved.
