On the advice of several New Yorkers, I bought my comics at Bergen Street Comics in Brooklyn last week, and I think I’ve found my new comic shop. Located in a great area of Brooklyn, small but well laid out and neat, with the new books easy to find and the owners pleasant and helpful, it’s my kind of place.
Since I’ve found people I like giving money to, why not give them more of it, right? Since there’s a new Fables trade this week, plus DMZ #44 and the long-awaited Hellboy: The Wild Hunt #5, I know I’ll be shelling out a few bucks this week. As usual, I turn to you, readers: what am I missing?

I’ve heard many good things about Bergen Street Comics and since I live in Canada that’s saying something.
Another book I think you should look at this week would be Sandman By Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. It is a hard cover collection of their work on the character.

I don’t know– I’m all for making comic shops more respectable looking, but that looks pretty sterile to me. That looks like a spa waiting room– nice, but not some place I want to go all the time. I’d rather go some place with more of a bookstore feel.

If you haven’t read it yet, Mazzucchelli’s ASTERIOS POLYP is some of the best comics I’ve ever read. I blew through it in a day and felt like rereading it as soon as I finished. Some of the games he plays with the form had me actually grinning while reading. Can’t recommend it highly enough.
