The kind folks at NBM have supplied ComicList with their solicitations for comics and other products featured in the November 2010 Previews, scheduled to ship starting January 2011.
Media Release -- This January, NBM has "big" plans! We're bringing together some of our finest works in banded sets... and with lovely prices! Unfortunately, as far as ordering these through your comic bookstore goes, it gets tricky: Diamond distributors decided NOT to carry these banded specially priced sets! That means you can only get them through us and some comic stores who order directly from us (ask them)! Here goes:
BIGGER NOTHINGS: THE LITTLE NOTHINGS SET Vols. 1-3
Lewis TRONDHEIM
Now in a specially priced banded set of the 3 volumes, Trondheim's popular little slice of life vignettes are collected together. "It's very gently funny but splendidly assured and evocative of place — if a friend had drawn you a page of it as a letter, you'd treasure it forever" said The New York Times Book Review of this strip.
3 volumes banded together, 6×9, 384 pp., full color trade pbs with flaps, $39.99 (normally $45), ISBN 978-1-56163-599-3
ORDINARY VICTORIES SET Vols. 1-2
Manu LARCENET
One of the most acclaimed graphic novels of the decade is now available in a specially priced banded set of the 2 volumes. This is the story of Marc, a photographer who's tired, of a very patient chick he meets, of banal horrors and of his pain-in-the-neck cat. It's the story of his art thrown against heavy anxiety attacks; of a really cute woman in his small town who seems to take to him against all odds; of the old neighbor, a peaceful likable fellah until you get to know his disturbing role in the war… Called one of five best graphic novels by TIME magazine on its release, it was also a Booklist top 10 graphic novel of the year: "Superb marriage of literary realism and comics." "Like any great work of art, it is possible to hold the pages up and through them, see the world" said Comic Book Resources.
2 volume set banded together, 61/2 x 9, 248 pp, full color trade pbs, $29.99 (normally $32), ISBN 978-1-56163-600-6
And from NBM/EUROTICA in January (this one is available from Diamond):
OMAHA The Cat Dancer, set of vols. 1-7
Reed WALLER, Kate WORLEY
