Stopped at some local thrift stores this evening and picked up some interesting finds, some of which seem noteworthy here:

1) A copy of R.A. Salvatore's Homeland, the first book in the Dark Elf trilogy. I know that there's been a fair deal of contempt surrounding half-drow in this topic at times >_> tbh, when I was younger, I read some of the other Forgotten Realms novels which featured Drizzt. Haven't read a D&D novel in like over 15 years now, so it should be amusing. Only paid 50-cents so even if it's a disappointment, no real loss.

2) Season 1 of Dragon Ball. Was really cool to find this. I prefer DB to DBZ and it's been ages since I saw the early stuff. Supposedly it's digitally remastered and uncut, which I presume to mean that we actually get to see Goku play pat-pat which may have been cut from the US version. Only cost me $4, which seems a more than fair price.

3) A Jan 2011 copy of Shonen Jump, purchased solely because it still had a copy of Winged Dragon of Ra inside. Just picked it up out of curiosity and noticed it when flipping through the pages. Kinda neat throwback. Also read the first two chapters of Psyren and, while it was so-so, the story intrigues me enough that I'll probably try to watch the anime or read the manga. Whichever takes less effort.

4) The Best American Comics, 2010. I noticed it on the shelf and just flipped through it, found the excerpt from The Lagoon, liked it, and then found part of the excerpt from Asterios Polyp, liked that as well. Took photos with my phone and meant to look up more about those particular comics then realized that the book was only a buck or two so I just picked it up. Apparently it also includes an excerpted chapter from Omega the Unknown (the reboot) which is a neat... I guess it's not old enough to say blast from the past, but I read the TPB some years ago. And, speaking of years ago, I bought the 2007 edition on clearance at a Borders. Remember Borders? >_>
