We stopped in at Keith’s Komix yesterday not just to pick up this week’s stack but to also wish Keith a Merry X-mas and to thank his friend, Jim, for the working Beta Player. A while back, Keith took his daughter to see New Moon. I had mentioned how I saw an ‘edward’ shirt that had Edward James Olmos instead of Edward Cullen. He then said that if there was a shirt with Eddie Munster on it he’d wear it. And guess what? THOR must have heard him for lo and behold I found it here. So Serena and I ordered one and gave that to Keith for X-mas.

Jim was there and I thanked him and told him how well the Beta Player had worked. I asked him how much he wanted for it and he said just $25. Wow. Had he been like those guys on eBay, he’d be asking for at least $100, maybe more because the Beta Player was in much better working condition than those ones I found on eBay. Thanks again Jim!

CAUGHT SERENA’S EYE: THE GOOD NEIGHBORS, BOOK ONE: KIN

Written by Holly Black; Art and Cover by Ted Naifeh

Rue Silver’s mother has disappeared and her father is suspected of killing her. But it’s not that straightforward. Rue is a faerie, like her mother. And her father didn’t kill her mother instead, he broke a promise to Rue’s faerie-king grandfather, causing Rue’s mother to be flung back to the faerie world. Now Rue must go to save her.

Next week, the only comic book coming out and worth picking up is BLACKEST NIGHT # 6. Even with this week being X-mas week, I kinda wish next week was already here.
