Arriving 1/26/2011

What a strange week: the death of both WIZARD and the Comics Code. What could possibly make that a trifecta, I wonder? Meanwhile, I'm waist-deep in sorting the BookScan numbers (I'm dreaming in Excel, yes) -- guess I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue!

This week's shipping list (and something else!) behind the jump:

What was the "something else"? Mm, I have to call an ASSHAT OF THE WEEK, this time -- what the hell is wrong with Marvel comics for shipping ALL THREE primary AVENGERS titles this week, as well as THREE different "Ultimate Universe" comics, as well as TWELVE (yes, TWELVE!!!!!!) X-Men comics? That's BEYOND fucked up. Do they WANT them not to sell? *sigh*

Anyway, what looks good to you?
