My shopping adventure today consisted of going to my 2 favorite comic book store; 3 Alarm and Jak's. Ok ok... so they are the only 2 comic book stores in the gulf coast area... but hey who's counting? I happen to be in the market for the new Batman & Robin # 16 that just recently came out last Wednesday becaaaaaause in it, Bruce Wayne has proclaimed his long time secret that he is responsible for funding Batman's war on crime and will fund Batman Inc. (a group of batmen around the world)! Which will allow for a new series to be born... Batman Inc. of course. This is a HUGE deal for us comic book geeks, and for those of you that are not that well in the know... it makes a non-connection between Bruce Wayne and Batman, that he is the MAN behind Batman but not actually Batman himself... but we all know the truth don't we? ;) I am a little surprised that Grant Morrison has let the "bat out of the bag" in this way but I'm still am happy to see it. Needless to say I cant wait for Batman Inc. to come out, which will be coming out next Wednesday! *Squeeeeeeel!* Since I am a few days late on getting my ass to the store, it goes without saying I didn't bring home a copy today... but, I did order the variant cover copy online from TFAW.com which is an awesome website for all things comic related. And waiting a few days and getting the variant cover is worth the wait. ;)
I also managed to pick up Zatanna # 1 for stand price! SCORE!! Most other comic book stores are selling it for around $ 10-15 bucks now. I also got the one shot of Batman Catwoman: Follow the Money Hooray for One Shots! :D All in all it was a great day for finding comics and my collection and inner geek is extremely happy :D
