Recent Purchases: 7/10/2006
- Showcase Presents Elongated Man - Haven't had time to read this yet
- PS238: No Child Left Behind! - reprinting the issue up through last issue, plus some bonus strips
- Knights of the Dinner Table #116
- Nodwick #33 - ready for this story-line to end, and then some
- Dork Tower #34 - thinking of dropping this, primarily because of issues like this one that advance none of either the characterization or the plot.
- Sgt Frog Vol 11 - Yay! Finally a resolution to the cliff-hanger at the end of last volume
- Prince of Tennis Vol 14 - dropping this, 'cause I just can't care about whether the characters win or lose, and there's nothing to it except whether they win or lose and how they improve their tennis game
- Hikaru No Go Vol 7 - Woohoo! Although you might be tempted to say the same thing about Hikaru no Go go as about Prince of Tennis, in HnG the character's Go playing is used as a metaphor for their maturing psychologically; where PoT would have a player master (or reveal) a new shot, HnG would have Hikaru improve his game by conquering his fear of Sai's overwhelming play.
- Dr Slump Vol 8 - Deeply wacky--probably too anything goes for a lot of people, but it brings a smile to my lips
- Whistle Vol 12 - The opposite of PoT, where with very similar material, Higuchi makes me care deeply about the player's winning and losing.
- Fushigi Yuugi: Genbu Kaiden Vol 4 - another one I haven't had time to read
- Rurouni Kenshin Vol 28 - The final volume, in which everything is tied up, and there is a nice long coda. This brought a tear to my eye, it did.
