What I got @ Comic-Con
What I got at the convention:
$19.99 – “Making Comics” by Scott McCloud
EVERYONE needs to read Scott McCloud’s books. I was extremely excited to get this from my comic book store, but it turns out Diamond screwed up their order. I couldn’t stand waiting for it, so I got it at the convention.
$16.99 – “The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck Companion”
I was a big “Duck Tales” fan and only recently discovered the Scrooge McDuck comics. The orginal “The Life and Times” is one of the best graphic novels I’ve ever read. The pacing and overall story telling is just amazing. So I had to get this follow-up and I loved that I got it signed by Don Rosa.
$12 each – “Amelia Rules” Vol. 1-3
This was my favorite comic book from Free Comic Book Day, this past spring. When I saw the series creator there selling the graphic novels I HAD to get them. Although I’ve only read the one comic, I was able to tell the creator how much I enjoyed it.
$10 – Actor Comic Presents
I didn’t really want this, but bought it to support A.C.T.O.R., which recently changed their name.
$5 – “Batman: Son of the Demon”
I’ve been looking for this since last spring so I love the fact that I found it for so cheap.
$5 – “True Story Swear to God”
My comic book store tells me the order for these on Diamond is all back listed and they can’t get a copy till more are printed, so its cool I got one for so cheap.
$4 each – “Abadazad” Vol. 1 & 2
I’m interested in seeing how they use prose and comic pages in union through these books.
$1 – “Dragon Lance” graphic Novel
It was only a dollar. Don’t mock me.
