Debris is the first Riley Rossmo book that I passed on. I tried #1 and didn't get it. It was like Planetoid, but not as good. If you read it all and it makes sense, let me know. I might track it down in the back issue market.

Let me know what you guys think, if you do pick it up. The concept is interesting, but the first issue felt really slow to me.

I went to the shopping mall today, and happened to find a 50 cent sale on a comic/board game/ccg shop.
For 13,50 euros I brought:
- Batman #700 (oversized special)
- Batman & Robin #16 (last issue of the Morrison arc)
- Batman Inc (vol. 01) #1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7.
- The Walking Dead #25, 43, 44, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 55, 56, 57, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 73, 74, 90.

EDIT - OMG, what have I found there?! I have a NM copy of Chew's 1st appearance?! Bought for 50 cents?!

Great buys dude. Also maybe not worth loads but Batman & Robin #16 is a masterpiece, brings together all of Morrison's works from the previous few years into one excellent finale. Also contains possibly my favourite appearance of the Joker too.

I haven't read Chew yet either. Does the character eat people in this book?

Yes. It's wonderful. Not only does he eat them, but he does so to solve crimes.

I'm still slowly but surely turning my floppies into trades and just now got the complete "Planet Hulk" trade in the mail from Amazon (love that site!) for $24. Can't beat that price! I now have the complete Pak Hulk run in trades. :clap:

From what I understand he gets psychic impressions of whatever he eats so if there is a homicide he would eat a bite of the cadaver to help solve crimes. I also think chicken is outlawed as well... The little intro from TWD got me intrigued.
