It's not quite WEDNESDAY yet but...

Today after work, when I arrived home I found this great surprise I almost completely forgot about....

I put the little cutter on it for size comparison

Wow! That's a big huge flat box!
What could be inside this box? I don't remember anything that was supposed to arrive these days...

It was quite flat, so it could either be a comic(s), some bandes dessinée (franco-belgium comics), posters (did I bought some online? I don't think so...), games, movies??

I started opening it...and surprise! It was some kind of giant-sized comic(??)!


What the?!
What is this thing?


It's...woah! I almost forgot all about this one... A book!
The book!


It's WEDNESDAY COMICS an incredible comic by DC Comics. It's a fun project DC did not that long ago. Various comic strip-styled stories of different characters by various popular creative teams.
This is the collected hardcover edition, the originals run in a newspaper-like format.

I had this one bought from a local library, but they were never able to get a copy back then, so each month I kept asking them news about my order but with no luck...and then, today, randomly...BAM! The book finally!


It's a beautiful book I can't recommend enough. A great way to either dig in (american) comics and/or the DC universe!
Beautiful artwork with lots of fun interesting stories that take these classic characters into reader-friendly tales.
(and it's all in "continuity", so...)

  1. I love getting packages in the mail, especially when I forget what I ordered!

    I loved loved loved Wednesday comics. What a great format, and a great way to get to know so many DCU characters. I loved the Supergirl story with Streaky and Krypto!!

  2. It's probably one of my fav stories form it as well, alongside the Etrigan/Catwoman one^^
    (The Demon's such a fun character)

    Kinda sad they missed doing a Jonah Hex or Captain Marvel one...

    My least favorite - I gotta admit - probably is the Hawkman story. Though I usually love Kyle Baker work (specially is Plastic Man series), when he plays with CGi and his 3D models instead of a good ol' traditional drawing...ugh,,,
