I think I got this at Book Thing in Baltimore, MD.
This is the first book I've read from Oni Press (never read Scott Pilgrim). Maybe it's just a printing error, but the edges of some of the panels are cut off, including first lines of some dialogue.
Apart from that the book is great - really interesting concept.
I need to track down Lars and ask him if the bookstore in the series is based on Ball & Cross - it looks just like it.

OK, so I know that there are other books but I don't know if they're connected. Is Conrad's story continuous or do we move on to another character???
I did like this one, but dang it what happened?! He does make some life decisions that seemed to be weighing on his mind, but the case that he's sent out to take care of.....nothing. I mean, the reader knows what's what, but Conrad is clueless.
But yes, I really liked it. There was so mystery, some action, a little love, some family drama....seriously, what more could you ask for? Now I just have to wait for my library to fill my request for the second book....
