Week of 3/28:
Cycling back and forth through the stacks of comic books/graphic novels at the local Newbury Comics is quite the task. As you move from left to right in a logical A-Z order, somewhere in the middle it resets back to a random letter you had thought you previously passed. Keep in mind that every path my brain tends to go down to try and put some order to the chaos that is the comics rack seems to end up in some kind of Winchester home-esque hallway.
Basically I am trying to find a copy of Image Comics' "Pax Romana". The first issue is available for your reading purposes on Hickman's website here. It has some pretty over the top graphic design elements, and for people who like to know EVERYTHING there is to know about characters you may very well never see again, this comic will make you run down the street giving out high fives to strangers. In all seriousness, the artwork is certainly engaging albeit a bit busy at times given the random brushstrokes and the total absence of any kind of background artwork.
I'll be checking out Baron's in Bridgewater to see if there's anything else that I have not been able to find in the disorganized mess that is the Newbury's rack.
