So, I went a bit comic-book crazy when I was last in London… and then I got home and went comic-book crazy online. So here you have it: “Stacking the Shelves” the Graphic Novel edition!
- Daredevil by Ed Brubaker & Michael Lark (Ultimate Collection) Vol.1 reprints V2 #82-93
- I love the Brian Michael Bendis run and am interested in seeing what Brubaker does with Matt!
- Bitch Planet by Kelly Sue DeConnick & Valentine De Landro Vol. 1
- OMG this book! I’ve only read the first issue by WOW. It’s amazing and I cannot wait to read more
- Gotham Academy by Becky Cloonan and Brenden Fletcher & Karl Kerschl Vol 1
- A DC book! Alert the media! I’ve already read this one and found it to be super fun.
- The New York Five by Brian Wood & Ryan Kelly
- No idea if I’ll enjoy this but I’ve heard great things!
- Runaways Volume 2 by Brian K Vaughn (4 Books – Digest editions)
- I’ll be honest, I didn’t realise how tiny these would be! I would have prefered the oversized hardcovers or even the regular trades… but oh well. Since I’ve already read this series it’s OK.
- Saga Volume 3 and 4 by Brian K. Vaughn & Fiona Staples
- Obviously
- Saucer Country Volume 1 by Paul Cornell & Ryan Kelly
- I’ve heard that the first volume of this series is great, but that it wraps up too quickly (poor sales).
- Avengers Academy Volume 1 & Volume 2 by Christos Gage & Mike McKone
- Amy Dallen is a big fan of this series, so I didn’t hesitate to pick up both hardcover volumes when I saw them on sale!
I also got a TONNE of single issues! I highly recommend Paper Girls, Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur and Spider-Gwen!
Look forward to seeing what everyone picked up this week! 🙂

This is such a fabulous comic book haul! I’m drooling over so many of these titles. I’m trying to resist buying more comics until I get some of the ones already on my shelf read though. I’ve been extremely tempted to purchase Bitch Planet though and I still need to get around to reading Runaways. I’ve been curious about Paper Girls, since I’ve been hearing a lot of great things about it.

You really really really should give in 🙂 I’m 2 issues into Bitch Planet and it is VERY good. Living up to the hype. Paper Girls is also pretty much my favourite thing ever… so yeah, highly recommended!
(FYI – Bitch Planet Vol 1 and the first issue of Paper Girls are in the Image Comics Humble Bumble (https://www.humblebundle.com/books) – I’m loving what I got in that deal I may write a whole post about it….)
