Paper Crack Adventures with Giga and Sutekh!

So with the recent holiday, crack day got pushed to Thursday. Since I'm on vacation I decided to join Giga and Sutekh on their paper crack adventures.

We arrived at Discount Paperback, the local crack dealer who supplies Giga's weekly fix of four-color addiction.

DP is pretty much you typical comic shop/geek toy shop/porn shop/miscellaneous paperback shop.

The 50% off bins (above) were rummaged through for goodies. I was going to get a Sandman Mystery Theatre trade and a Judas Contract trade but ended up putting them back since I have no need for more paper here in the House of Love at all.

DP has quite a selection of graphic novels and trade paperbacks. My eventual goal is to only by trades of content I want to own. It takes up less space than the individual issues and of course can sit easily on a shelf where the issues kind of fall all over the place. However, I wish Marvel and DC would trade shit that probably will never be done such as ROM and All-Star Squadron and such.

DP also has a ton of non-transforming-flavored plastic crack running the gamut from superhero shit to mango to a ton of crap that I thankfully don't know about. (It is a point of pride for me that I know so little about a ton of modern current geekage!)

Last night, while at The Family T's house, we discovered Mister T. reads Ramayan 3392AD, an totally kickass beautifully illustrated comic by Deepak Chopra of all people. This book is sweet and I may end up getting it when it is collected... or at least borrowing Mister T.'s copies.

I finally got my hands on a copy of Volume 1 of The Absolute Sandman collection. Damn this is purty.

Of course, I own the originals and the trades already and I can't justify buying yet another version of the same thing but man it is nice. Someday. Maybe. I suppose a lot depends on how much I can make off the comics collection and crap when it goes.

In the end, Giga got 52, the new JLA, and some books I don't read. He got a Weaponer of Qward too.
