From the Shrew Review - they didn’t like this new comic about a librarian. It wasn’t at my comic shop this week for whatever reason, so I haven’t had a chance to read it yet. I’ll still give it a try if I can manage to get ahold of the issue next week.

There were some sample pages up on the creator’s website, and I’m afraid I looked at a few and wasn’t impressed. For all the research this guy did, his sense of librarianship is very shallow (”Overdue fines? MAKE MY DAY” shallow) and the action is standard shoot-’em-up.
Thumbs-down, with much disappointment. Coulda been seriously cool.

Yeah, I might buy the first issue just to have as a cultural artifact, but that might be it.

I couldn’t find one at my local comic book store, or at any of the large booksellers. I can’t even manage to find a copy online.

Nat, if it is at my comic book store next week, do you want me to pick up an extra copy for you? It would be no problem.

[Sigh] So when did drug stores, mom-n-pop groceries, and five-n-dimes stop selling comic books? Because that’s where I started looking when Rex Libris was due out … Gad, I suddenly feel so old. I stopped buying comics in protest when they went up in price to 75 cents … Bad enough when they started charging four bits for a dime comic book (not to mention two bits and up for a nickle candy bar), but six bits?? With that awful, coarse printing on cheap paper?! Forget it!
Still, bad as the comic might be as a librarian comic, it’s nice to see librarians as heroic figures. Good trend. We know librarians rock, it’s high time the rest of the world learned it.
Comic book stores. What a concept …
