There's a comic book shop near the psychology building, so I stopped in to have a look. I was hoping they'd have the Devil May Cry comic book, and they did. I'm surprised at how comics have changed over the last decade or so. (Not unlike baseball cards, but I don't know if the practice of comic collecting has gone downhill like baseball card "collecting" has.) They're very artsy and glossy; the thin paper and three color printing are gone. They seem shorter. That might be a result of the increased art and paper quality. (Of course, they're also 3-4 bucks as opposed to 75 cents when I used to buy GI Joe and Transformers.)

Maybe there are some similarities to the baseball card industry:

In 1987, baseball cards used to be about 50 -75 cents for a pack of 15-17 cards. Now it's like 4 bucks for a pack of 5 or 6.

Baseball card collecting got difficult because it got to the point where each manufacturer made like 4 sets of cards, each with subsets. Then subsets had subsets. From 1987 to 1991, I collected 50 different Mark McGwire cards; in 1998 alone, there were over 70 Mark McGwire cards issued.

There used to be one Transformers comic a month. I checked out the Transformers comics, and they had Transformers Beast Wars, and Transofmers Energon, and Transformers and GI Joe, etc. There were like 6 of them. Same with GI Joe. At 4 bucks a pop that can get kind of expensive as a monthly thing.

As far as the DMC comic, it was the second of four. The third might be coming out soon. It followed the videogame almost to a tee, and filled in some blanks. But it covered Dante killing Phantom and ened up with one of his meetings with Nelo Angelo. Not too exciting, but it could have been worse. I don't really like how Dante was drawn, though.
