This week’s trip to the comic book store was a well deserved trip. With the move being finalized two weeks ago, we’re slowly working our way to being unpacked and settled in. New furniture needs to be purchased in a one-at-time fashion so that we can keep food on the table and our bills from piling up. We’re both happy with our new place and look forward truly making this apartment our home.

This week we picked up:

• ANGEL # 14
• AVENGERS FAIRY TALES # 4
• BATMAN AND THE OUTSIDERS # 13
• BATMAN CONFIDENTIAL # 23
• BOOSTER GOLD # 14
• DEADPOOL # 4
• FATHOM # 3

Aspen presents the most complete collection of Michael Turner’s first ever creator owned series, Fathom, with this amazing Fathom: The Definitive Edition trade paperback! Inside, readers will find the rare Fathom Preview, issues #0 and #1/2, both of which have never been collected in a trade before now! Issues #1 through #9, including the special add-in pages, plus the sold out issues #10 and #11, also making their first trade debut! Re-envisioned pages and excerpts from issues #12 through #14, focusing on Aspen and Cannon’s ordeal with Vana! Both original Fathom Swimsuit issues featuring pin-ups from a host of today’s top artists, along with a jam-packed cover gallery and more seldom seen Fathom goodies as only Michael Turner and Aspen could deliver!

We’ll also be including the complete Aspen Extended Edition which bridges the gap between Fathom Volume 1 and Volume 2, and also features the first appearance of everyone’s favorite Blue warrior goddess, Kiani! Combine all that together, and you have 496 massive pages of everything that was Fathom Volume 1. ~ Aspen Comics

Again I’ve come to a point where I really need to cut down the pull list. So I’m definitely gonna put forth the effort to NOT pick up any more mini-series spinning off of the current titles I’m picking up (i.e. X-Men: Worlds Apart). I can always pick up the graphic novel that collects them all a few months after it finishes.
