BOOK OF THE MONTH:
Gold Digger 15th Anniversary Special (Antarctic)
I don’t think people realize how big Fred Perry truly is. Whenever there’s talk about American manga artists, you have to bring this guy’s name up. Every single month, he’s constantly got either new or reprinted material on the racks, in multiple media, and has quietly built [...]
Book of the Month
Avengers: The Initiative #1 (Marvel)
From looking ahead at the May previews and from the odd interview or two online, it looks as if War Machine will play a big part in this new series, as will Dan Slott’s new character Gauntlet. So I figure that’s just barely enough to make it this [...]
BOOK OF THE MONTH:
George RR Martin’s Wild Cards: The Hard Call #1 (of 6) (Dabel Brothers Productions)
I am a huge GRRM fan. If you’re not reading the “Song of Ice and Fire” series of novels, you’re missing one of the greatest fantasy series ever written. Among Martin’s many other projects was a series of novels [...]
BOOK OF THE MONTH:
Jumper: Jumpscars (Oni)
Sam Jackson’s got a sci-fi film due out in early 2008 called Jumper, reuniting him with his Star Wars co-star Hayden Christensen. This comic will serve as a prequel of sorts. I feel I should also mention that the creative team of Nunzio DeFilippis, Christina Weir and Brian Hurtt is [...]
BOOK OF THE MONTH:
The Bakers Meet Jingle Belle (Dark Horse).

Nat Turner Book Two: Revolution (Image)
Hooray! At long last, the three-time Glyph Comics Award-winning mini-series is concluded, and with the move to Image, this is only the beginning for Kyle Baker. Expect more cool stuff from him later in the year, including new Bakers material.

The Many Adventures of Miranda Mercury #295 (ASP)
This is it! Miranda’s run towards her 300th issue begins here with her greatest adventure yet! I’ve been a Miranda fan for many years, and I think Brandon Thomas is the best writer this book has ever had. The magic is indeed back – and [...]
