As usual, there's good news and then there's bad news.

The Good News: Apparently everyone finally got the memo, and Gotham Central's selling like crazy. The latest issue sold out at Criminal Records the day they got it and sold eight copies at the Book Nook in, like, two days. I'd like to think that I've made some converts but I'm not completely delusional and realize that it's quite probably related to Bendis' recent shout-out on the Powers letters page. (BTW, if you love Powers, you should be reading Gotham Central too.)

The Bad News: This means I do not have a copy of the latest issue of Gotham Central. I can still think of a couple of stores to hit, but I'm dying for this issue (it's the conclusion of the Harvey Bullock story arc!) and getting increasingly frustrated. I need my fix, dammit!!

BTW, if you spoil this issue for me, I KEEL YOU.

Go to Oxford Comics, on Piedmont. They're where I get my weekly comics fix. Call first to see if they've a copy, but they should. They're in the phone book.

cheers,
Phil

I was going to say the same thing!

I said it yesterday.

Which was intended as "I'm glad you guys are saying it because I don't know if she heard me or not."

Oops, misinterpreted! Sorry!

You are way too much of a doll. *hugs*

Lunch next week, perhaps?

Methinks that instead of KEELING them you should KEELHAUL them.

Arrr.

Either that or Kellinate with extreme prejudice.

Hey, I like that!

I intend to start reading it. The TPB is on my wish list.

Batman and Pembleton...I'm there. Batman was always a favorite in my comic reading days, and I love the Homicide grit thing. Duh, naturally.

Batty's Best (http://www.battysbest.com/) has issue #22 in stock.

Might not be too far out of your way.

I'm waiting for the start of the next story arc. How about a reminder when that issue comes out?

I'll do my best!

Well, I know of at least one Gotham Central convert who you can take credit for. Not only did I pick up the trade paper back, but also I hunted down every single back issue, all because of you.
Now, the good news, as it relates to you, is that I called my friendly local game store, and they are holding a second copy for me.
Say the word and I'll Fed-Ex it to you straight away. You know, as a last ditch, desperate measure.

Oh... you are a doll. Hopefully it won't come to that, but thank you!!!

I just had to come here to report that I used your fab link you provided a while back to order the book from Amazon (along with a replacement coffee carafe for the Krups espresso/coffee machine I just won on eBay...yippee). So I should be getting it soon! Hoorah!
