The collected edition of the four-time Glyph Comics Award winner is released to the direct market this week (of course, you’ve probably seen it in the major bookstores by now).

Also this week:
Archie & Friends #121. Written by Simmons.
The Omen: Positive Issue. Story and art by Robert Walker.

Also notable:
Final Crisis: Requiem. The death of Martian Manhunter gets explored in more detail.
New York Four GN. Brian Wood’s new graphic novel.
Captain America: White #0. Loeb and Sale reunite for another new mini.
Secret Invasion #4 (of 8)

Despite mostly crappy reviews, Will Smith’s Hancock took home over $100 million over the holiday weekend. Here’s a review that draws parallels between Smith and Barack Obama. (Thanks to Fred for the link.)

Speaking of Obama, there’s a cartoon of him that has been misappropriated by certain unsavory elements of society.

There’s a new black comics magazine on the scene called Gritz ‘n’ Gravy.

Here’s an interview with the creator of a new book called Knight Seeker.
