Well, yeah, for me, lighter than helium; could afford to pick up volume 3 of The Walking Dead, which was okay volumes 1 and 2, and is said to really get underway here. Meanwhile, there's: Wonder Woman #21 A new approach to WW, more pleasing to read than previously, very nice graphics-art. Young Liars #4 Beginning to take on that Stray Bullets edge I’ve missed since the end of Bullets; potentially a very dangerous comic. Jack Staff #17, $3.50 continually a surprising and delightfully intellect… Continue

Oooookay…this’s what I'd recommend; it's what I'm getting for me: This bunch is pretty much pedigreed by previous issues, or in the case of Henry Jones, Jr., previous characterization: Conan 2, Hellboy/Crooked 2, Indy Jones/Tomb 3, Billy Batson 2 (Mike Kunkle writes), Mouse Guard 6, Mde. Xanadu 3, Man with No Name 4, Caliber 4 (Excalibur legend complete with Arthurian name-sakes, as an increasingly engaging western), 1001 Nights/Sinbad, Patsy Walker 2. This group’s stuff I’ve been enjoying for… Continue

Usagi Yojimbo #112, All Star Superman #11, Fables #73 need no explaining: here’re three of my top-ten choices. I like exciting writing, speech that sounds like somebody talking, really nice to look at pictures arranged in narrative, and a sense of humor. Northlanders #6 and Daredevil #107 remain interesting; Marvel Illustrated Moby Dick #4, so far the nicest of the ‘classics’ I’ve seen. I'd still like to see comics adapting some short American classic plays; suit the classics ill'd ‘genre’ bett… Continue

Here we go--! Spawn 178 - Previews claims police detectives Sam and Twitch are featured and I recommend immediate purchase of all things previous featuring Sam and Twitch; some all-time high writing and pictures in the horror/police procedural genre. Hoping 178 is at least in the park. Catwoman #79 - past few issues, a habit-buy; she needs to be back on 'our' earth and down to earth soon to keep my interest. Spirit #17 - this comic book just keeps chuggin' along in the top of the short lists o… Continue

Hey there! A couple of series I like are ending, but others've begun some interesting stories-- Serenity Better Days #3 (final issue, alas): I’m a Firefly fan; the caricatures are pretty good, the story’s entertaining, the colors are sharp: it’s good enough for me: I’m a Firefly fan. Please Sir, can I have some more? Bat Lash #6: a terrific ‘origin’ story of a character I only mildly cared about previously, told really well, and drawn even better; sadly, the last issue of this series. Please Si… Continue
