Batman: Harley Quinn by Paul Dini.

Many years ago, I saw this at my old comic book shop. They had several copies of it in the back issue bin and I passed on it every. single. time. After a few years I realized what I had passed on and began kicking myself for it. I finally won it at auction on eBay yesterday paying more than I wanted to for it. However, I'm happy to have finally gotten it.

That's not bad, I saw another one that was bid up to $31 so you got a deal for $20.

I got it for $15 at a comic show last fall, off from $20 since I got other stuff too, so not a bad price. It's a pretty good read, too.

Marvel: 1602 Hardcover

Say what you will, but I actually enjoyed this story. I liked seeing the characters re-imagined in the past. Though I've never read any of the continuation/minis that came over the years after.

I'm actually working on reading this series right now. It took me a long time to get up the interest to read it and I'm 5 or 6 issues in. It's interesting, that's for sure. For the life of me I can't think of who Virginia is in the regular Marvel Universe...

She's not anyone really. She's one of the historical characters in the story, like the Queen and James of Scotland. Virginia is the first child born in the British Colonies.

Checkmate TPB 1 & 3
Madrox: Multiple Choice HC
New Mutants (2009) TPB 1
Thor: Tales of Asgard HC
Jack Kirby's Fourth World Omnibus 1
Wolverine: Logan HC Black & White Edition

All that from cheap-comics.com
The Wolvie HC is a gift as my order was above €75. Been meaning to try some Kirby stuff and the price on Tales of Asgard was unbeatable (€12.5!).

There is more to come from Amazon US, Play.com and Bookdepository (which seems to be a very slow site for processing orders...).

Delivery from Bookdepository today:

Preacher HC book 3
Y: The Last Man Deluxe Edition book 4

Weirdly enough, I also ordered a third book from Bookdepository but it did not come with the other. Hopefully there wasn't a problem with shipping.

No, they always send everything apart from each other. I once got my shipment over the course of a week.

Also, did you know bookdepository.com and bookdepository.co.uk have different prices on some books? It really pays to check it (just change .com into .co.uk when you're on the page for a certain item). The Ultimate DD volume 3 book was €8 cheaper on one of them.
