Dropped by the comic shop in College Park today - I just read Issue #1 of Transmetropolitan (h/t Blake Stacey), and was jonesing for some more.

Unfortunately, Vol. 1 is out of print. Not Vols. 2, 3, 4, whatever, just Vol. 1. Great timing, Detective Comics - I'm proud of you.

So proud, in fact, I got two other DC-subsidiary books while I was there - The Plain Janes (a Unshelved recommendation that I, who read it on the bus, wholeheartedly second) and Global Frequency Vol. 1: Planet Ablaze (also Warren Ellis, but I mainly got it because of the movie that didn't get made). Oh, and I got Whiteout, Vol. 2: Melt (because I got Whiteout, Vol. 1, which because of Free Comic Book Day 2007, which because of Wings of Change, which eventually because of Dad=[livejournal.com profile] zhurnaly emailing me a link to Mark Sachs and I'm cutting this off before we get ridiculous).

So, a fun evening, even before the lasagna [livejournal.com profile] zhurnaly's got in the oven downstairs. Rawk aut!

I am not a comics person, but I am curious what (h/t) stands for....?

Hat tip (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hat_tip) - I picked up the abbreviation somewhere.

Thanks -- there's my "something learnt" for today.

Global Frequency is great.

There are copies of the pilot that John Rogers mentions still around on the darknet - it really would have worked well as a TV series.

I know I'm enjoying it so far. :)
