I used to pick up the monthly edition of Diamond Comics, but as things appeared on the Web, I started to doubt the use of the catalog. While they don’t post the pics and or reviews, Diamond Comics still offers me some insight into what is hot – as in: what I might want to read, what I might want to buy, or what I may want to research some more.
So, if you haven’t added them to your Bookmarks, why not? You can have millions of bookmarks, and it doesn’t hurt anything. Here is a sample of one of the tables that they put out for November 2009 on their aptly titled page: DIAMOND ANNOUNCES TOP PRODUCTS FOR NOVEMBER 2009.

I guess I am feeling nostalgic. As I receive each edition of Wizard, I no longer see a purpose for the magazine, and I still found nothing of use when I visited their website. Maybe Diamond Comics is another Dinosaur, and I am not ready to give up on them. Or maybe, just maybe, you can still enjoy seeing what’s hot and c0ming out —- as I did whenever I picked up one of their catalogs.
Oh – and I need to pick up Boys #5: Herogasm.
