That moment when something screws up in your favor but it doesn’t really matter…
So I do a lot of internet shopping because I live out in the country and sometimes it’s just easier that way, especially when I’m in no hurry to get something, such as the new Marvel books Rogue Touch and She-Hulk Diaries from Hyperion. Being a huge Rogue fan I decided I was going to read the Rogue novel even though I’m pretty sure it will be a bad fan fic. I figured I’d pick up She-Hulk Diaries as well because apparently I’m a glutton for punishment.
Both novels come out June 18th so I checked Amazon and Barnes & Noble to see what would give me the best prices, options, etc. It was then that I noticed that while both books are listed as “Pre-Order” on Amazon, Barnes & Noble will just let you buy them now.
According to the tracking I should get them on Friday, Monday on the outside, I can never be sure around here, as I said, I live in the country. I also don’t know if this will get fixed anytime before the 18th but somehow I seriously doubt anyone will care as I’m sure these aren’t in really high demand.
But seriously… why couldn’t this have happened when I was anxiously awaiting Butcher’s Ghost Story or anything by Rick Riordan?
Well played internet… well played…
X-Men: The (fan fic) Series 
Ha! Love the cover art, anyway. Please post a follow-up after your read ’em!
Oh, don’t worry, I will be reviewing both and will try to maintain a reasonable measure of calmness if they do turn into bad fan fics. 😉
Appreciate it. I watched the 70s ‘Dr. Strange’ pilot recently on youtube. We all have to take one for the team occasionally! 😀
So true. 😉
I haven’t seen that, is it as bad as it sounds? 😦
[…] As I mentioned, B&N is shipping Rogue Touch and The She-Hulk Diaries early. Apparently She-Hulk ships from Indiana and Rogue Touch from New Jersey, so I got She-Hulk first. In a way though, this works out, because I don’t really know that much about She-Hulk beyond what I’ve garnered through reading X-Men comics as I’m not much of a Hulk/Avengers reader. This means that, unlike Rogue, I won’t be bothered by all the ‘little things’ that butt up against established canon which could drive a fan crazy. This makes me a bit more impartial when reviewing She-Hulk Diaries. […]
[…] already mentioned in my She-Hulk Diaries review that B&N shipped both books early, but from different warehouses, so I got She-Hulk Diaries before Rogue Touch. I thought this was a […]
