First, I'd like to thank anybody who has used the links from my posts to buy stuff from Amazon. Thanks to you kind folk, I recently received an $11 gift certificate to Amazon.
- Phoenix, vol. 7: Civil War, pt. 1 by Osamu Tezuka. Still working my way through this series. I tend to prefer the volumes set in Japan's past rather than the ones set in the future. This is one of the former, and is quite good.
- Phoenix, vol. 8: Civil War, pt. 2 by Osamu Tezuka.
- Phoenix, vol. 9: Strange Beings/Life by Osamu Tezuka.
- Phoenix, vol. 10: Sun, pt. 1 by Osamu Tezuka. The first part of the biggest and most ambitious Phoenix story, this book ties the a story set in the past with one set in the future.
- Paris by Andi Watson. This is pretty good, but I'm not sure what Watson was trying to do here, so I'm not sure he succeeded.
- Marvel Adventures Spider-Man, vol. 8: Forces of Nature by Peter David & Pop Mhan.
- X-Factor, vol. 4: Heart of Ice by Peter David, Koi Pham, & Pablo Raimondi.
- Fullmetal Alchemist, vol. 16 by Hiromu Arakawa.
- Ghost Rider: Trail of Tears by Garth Ennis & Clayton Crain. I wanted to like this story, and the writing is fine. But the art is dark & muddy, and it is often hard to tell what is going on or even who is speaking.
- The Stardust Kid by J.M. DeMatteis & Mike Ploog. While I normally like DeMatteis's writing, when he's in mystical mode, his work becomes hit or miss for me. It can be very good, but sometimes it's not. In this case, I can tell it's good, but it doesn't resonate with me, and it falls flat.
