Greg Burgas talks about getting the newest issue of Mental Floss and getting some good deals on Marvel trade paperbacks. He says the trades were part of a clearance Diamond was doing, so maybe some of them will make their way to the comic shops in time for Free Comic Book Day. And I got the new issue of Mental Floss today as well. I was also hoping to get a copy of The Incredible Hulk on blu-ray for $15.99 that's on sale at Best Buy, but they were out. But getting the new Mental Floss was worth it. I link to their blog a lot here, but check it out if you haven't already and see if the magazine interests you. It's a lot more than just reprinting from the magazine, a worthy supplement to it.
While checking out with the magazine, I saw that Star Trek was featured in the latest issue of Newsweek, but I didn't get it. One, I'm still getting copies for some reason even though my subscription expired and I haven't renewed, and two (as you can see from the earlier link) I realized I could read the article online. Says something about the print vs. web thing going on, doesn't it? But I got the Mental Floss because it's a magazine worth consulting again and again. And when you come across an old issue, like an old friend it's well worth revisiting.
