PICKS:
ALL STAR SUPERMAN #11- Every time this book comes out should be considered a national day of celebration.

ANGRY YOUTH COMIX #14-This too.

COMPLETE NEXT MEN TP VOL 01-John Byrne’s last(?) masterpiece is finally collected.

FINAL CRISIS #1-THE MOST ANTICIPATED EVENT OF THE SUMMER begins. Grant Morrison shakes the DC Universe, I can’t wait to see what comes out. People online have been complaining that they don’t know what to expect from this, or that it seems like there will be too much going on. SINCE WHEN IS THAT A BAD THING?

HELLBOY TP VOL 08 DARKNESS CALLS- The latest mini collected!

JACK KIRBYS OMAC ONE MAN ARMY CORPS HC- Weird sci-fi adventure from THE KING.

JUDENHASS- DAVE SIM presents this original graphic novel examining the horrors of the holocaust.

STARMAN OMNIBUS HC VOL 01-DC is finally collecting one of the BEST SUPER-HERO COMICS EVER. Trust me, this is one ingredient in the milk that weaned me.

WHAT IT IS HC-Lynda Barry combines memoir with a freewheeling discussion of creativity and the urge to create something neat.
