Weekly Comics Discussion – July 2, 2008

The complete list is available here. Note that those of us in Canada may not see the shipments arrive until Thursday due to the Canada Day holiday. Also, I suggest to all North American readers that you fuel up on Wednesday, as gas prices tend to spike on Thursday when July 4 falls on a Friday.
