This Week In Comics: 03/28/2007

[Clayface]

Welcome to This Week in Comics for March 28th, 2007 - April 3rd, 2007!

This is the place to discuss the comics you've bought this week, whether it be a brand new title or old back-issues. We also welcome and encourage talk about comics in general - news you've read on comic news sites, the state of the industry in general, upcoming issues you're excited about, etc. All we ask is that you please use spoiler brackets in the event that your comments get too detailed concerning a particular storyline. This way the book won't be ruined for anyone who hasn't read it yet.

For a list of the new items shipping this week, please consult Diamond Comics' Shipping List (http://www.diamondcomics.com/shipping/shipping_032807.txt).

To find a comic book store near you, check out the Comic Shop Locator Service (http://csls.diamondcomics.com/).

I still can't bring myself to make Gargoyles my Pick of the Week. Even though I'm excited by the prospect of new stories set in the Gargoyles universe, late comics and blurry artwork have kinda dampened my enjoyment of the whole thing...hopefully the artwork will only improve with time.

Thus, my Pick of the Week goes to Dragon's Lair #3! Even though this cartoon/video game adaption is coming out late as well, it has much better artwork, more suited for my tastes... :D

DC and Everyone Else Month-to-Month sales for February 2007 (http://pwbeat.publishersweekly.com/blog/2007/04/03/dc-month-to-month-sales-february-2007/). Not much love for Wonder Woman or the Flash, it seems.
