> Yeah, prices aren't being changed to reflect the strength of our currency. Considering the strength of the dollar for quite a while now prices should have changed. Books in particular are still marked way higher (a $24.99 trade still has a Canadian price of $40). Fortunately my comic store goes by the American price plus I think %10 (for things like shipping).

I sympathize, but I'm glad there are dealers who don't take advantage of that.
Of course, until your coins start working in our vending machines, your currency will continue to be sadly worthless to me. I can't tell you how many times as a child I was screwed because the cashier someplace gave me a Canadian coin or two in my change. The hazards of growing up along the border...

I enjoyed it enough to keep buying the individual issues, but it wasn't until the second storyline that I really grew to love it.

The Farm is such a source of warped fun for the series. When you hit the end of the available Fables books, you'll have to check out Jack of Fables... What I've read of it so far has also been great, and I really didn't care all that much for Jack.
