Hummmm....

I called the local big comics shop yesterday to see if Girl Genius collection #4 had come in, and she said no, and she didn't know when it was coming in, since everyone is buying them on-line.

I bought #1, #2 & #3 in that store.

She was trying to be helpful.

No #4 on the horizon, although it is supposed to be out.

Girl Genius rocks! I love Phil's work. I've been following it since the early 80s.

Me, too --

I even loved the two gamers he created to review products. The "real world training" for gaming was a scream.

There are graphic novel collections for Phil and Dixie too...

If your taste runs to such things, there are also xxxenophiles.

Probably not. I'm a typical female in that regard -- pics don't do much for me, I like the real thing real time. Furries need not apply!

I ordered mine online and have already received it. I was advised to order it online when I asked about it at a local shop as well.

Maybe they're not selling through shops anymore?

The real bitch is that distributers hang up distribution. :(

Dragon's Lair hasn't had that issue solicited through their distributors and therefore can't get it through normal channels. It is avalable to the public on the website. :(

David's going to try and order it direct through the web site.

*sigh* I wish we could order direct from each and every press. We just coudn't afford it. :(

Well, that's a pain in the proverbial. I just assumed you would have it.

Growlf!

Just got an update.

Sixteen (16) copies of Girl Genius #4 will be at Dragon's Lair on Wednesday.

Well, in that case, I'd better reserve one!

you want me to ask my local Dark Horse minion to get this?

Turns out distribution is a proverbial on this one -- Drago's Lair finally got some ordered (maybe they broke a few knee-caps, called in a marker or two ... ) but they should have a bunch Weds. So I'll call and request a hold on mine!

The Foglios live in my town.
Our big Con is this weekend.
Their table sold out of the new collection by noon.

I suspect Girl Genius has reached the tipping point. Hope they're ready for it!
