Huh, I was not aware of that. After a quick internet search I have discovered that the Barnes & Noble up the street from work has a copy in-stock, so I guess I know what I am devoting a small portion of my break to today. Thanks!

Fact: Other sites are stupid. :-D

I'm also 1 of the 2 who listed Atomic Robo. The rest of you people clearly suck.

I'm not reading comics regularly at all anymore, but I did pick up digital copies of the first couple of Atomic Robo collections. Excellent stuff.

I made that comment before I realized that the first volume was already out. For some reason, I was under the impression that it didn't come out until March. :oops:

I think the reason for this is that our list was entirely reader-generated as opposed to being bought and paid for by the big publishers. :-)

I bought it a couple weeks ago.

I posted a thread last week asking people to list their top ten books. I then went through those lists awarding ten points to #1 picks, nine to #2 and so on. As I say, there were 100 different titles cited all together...

Aww, dang it. I thought that was just another discussion thread, not a survey.

I don't buy ten books anyway, but still.

I still don't know why I was under the impression it didn't come out until Spring. Oh well, I corrected that mistake on my lunch break and hopefully I will be able to read it this evening.
