4. The one title I was expecting this week didn't ship...

Edited on Wed Feb-09-05 04:14 PM by Spider Jerusalem

which I didn't find out till I went to my LCS, so I got Warren Ellis' Apparat one-shots to tide me over. Interesting concept...the idea is that these are first issues of "imaginary" series, from a world where the "men in tights" phenomenon never happened, and comics instead grew straight out of the '30's pulps without morphing into superhero stories first.

The best of the four are "Frank Ironwine" (a cop; best description I can give...imagine a cross between Columbo and Sherlock Holmes) and "Simon Spector" (the Shadow meets Doc Savage. Oh, and he's black, which I thought a nice touch).
