Well, here's hoping the computer doesn't break down again. In any case, I'll be keeping things short, since I'm a month behind.
- Showcase Presents: Supergirl, vol. 2 by various.
- Skin Horse, vol. 1 by Shaenon Garrity & Jeffrey C. Wells. First collection of a web comic about the government agency in charge of social services for non-human sentients. Lots of fun.
- Just a Pilgrim by Garth Ennis & Carlos Ezquerra. (Checked out of the library.)
- Tales Designed to Thrizzle, vol. 1 by Michael Kupperman. Absurdity & strangeness. (Library.)
- Justice League International, vol. 3 by Keith Giffen, J.M. DeMatteis, Kevin Maguire, et al. (Library.)
- Showcase Presents: Bat Lash by Sergio Aragones, Nick Cardy, et al. Western comics.
- Graphic Classics: Oscar Wilde by various. (Library.)
- Birds of Prey: Dead of Winter by Gail Simone & Nicola Scott. (Library.)
- Jack Kirby's The Losers. War comics from Kirby.
- Superman: The Third Kryptonian by Kurt Busiek, Dwayne McDuffie, Rich Leonardi, et al. (Library.)
- A Drifting Life by Yoshihiro Tatsumi. Autobiographical manga. Fascinating look at Japanese life during the post-WWII years. (Library.)
- Uncanny X-Men: Manifest Destiny by Ed Brubaker, Matt Fraction, Greg Land, et al. (Library.)
- The Antarctic Express by Ken Hite & Christina Rodruiguez. Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness retold as The Polar Express.
- More Digressions by Peter David. Essays on comics & life.
- The Boys, vol. 3: Good for the Soul by Garth Ennis & Darick Robertson. Ennis clearly has a goal in mind with this series. I'm looking forward to seeing there he goes. (Library.)
- The Muppet Show Comic Book: Meet the Muppets by Roger Langridge. Very nicely done. Langridge really captures the feel of the show on the page.
- Yokai Attack!: The Japanese Monster Survival Guide by Hiroko Yoda & Matt Alt. (Borrowed from Teena.)
- The Salon by Nick Bertozzi. Mystery set in Paris during the birth of modern art. (Library.)
- 100 Bullets, vol. 13: Wilt by Brian Azzarello & Eduardo Risso. The final volume wraps things up. Unfortunately, it has been so long since I read the previous volumes, that I had a hard time remembering who had betrayed who and just who everybody was. Even with that disadvantage, this is still very good. (Library.)
- Showcase Presents: Eclipso by Bob Haney, Jack Sparling, et al. Man, eclipses happen remarkably frequently in this book. Every couple of months, by my calculations And there are more solar eclipses than lunar ones. It's amazing.
- Secret Six: Unhinged by Gail Simone & Nicola Scott. Simone is a twisted person, which means that this comic about villains is fantastic. Lots of sick fun.
- Justice League International, vol. 3 by Keith Giffen, J.M. DeMatteis, Ty Templeton, et al. (Library.)
- 20th Century Boys, vol. 4: Love and Peace by Naoki Urasawa. Still loving this series.
- Punk Rock and Trailer Parks by Derf. (Library.)
- Wolverine: Not Dead Yet by Warren Ellis & Leinil Yu. (Library.)
- The Witch-Woman: A Trilogy about Her by James Branch Cabell.
- The Invincible Iron-Man, vol. 2: World's Most Wanted by Matt Fraction & Salvador Larroca. (Library.)
- Tangent Comics, vol. 1 by various.
- Herbie Archives, vol. 2 by Shane O'Shea & Ogden Whitney. Wacky stuff. (Library.)
- Scalped, vol. 4: The Gravel in Your Guts by Jason Aaron, R.M. Guera, & Davide Furno. This noir series set on a reservation is getting increasingly dark. Hence, noir. (Library.)
- Fables, vol. 12: The Dark Ages by Bill Willingham, Mark Buckingham, Peter Gross, et al. The war with the Adversary is over, and a new threat has arisen.
- Swallowing the Earth by Osamu Tezuka. Tezuka's first work aimed at a more mature audience. Odd, but I quite liked it.
I'll catch up on movies next time.
