Also New This Week

Not mentioned in my New This Week for this week, because it wasn't on the NCRL, but showing up in my DCBS shipment nevertheless, was the second volume of Seven Seas' Amazing Agent Luna by Nunzio DeFilippis, Christina Weir, and Carmela "Shiei" Doneza. This definitely would have been my Pick of the Week had I known about it beforehand.

Also in the box but not on the NCRL were the second issue of Shojo Beat from Viz; and the debut issue of the second volume of Craig A. Taillefer's Wahoo Morris from Too Hip Gotta Go Graphics.

The Pack is Back, Again

According to an interview on Newsarama, Marc Sumerak & GuriHiru will return to chronicle the adventures of everyone's favorite pre-teen super-heroes in a four issue X-Men/Power Pack mini. While I'd rather see Power Pack on their own sans X-Men, I enjoyed the first series by this team so much that I'll be happy to see them return to Power Pack in any form.

In the same interview, I also learned that GuriHiru is not some guy, but rather a pair of female artists from Japan who work as a team. They do some cool other stuff too.

For those of you poor souls who missed out on the first Power Pack mini, you'll want to check out the digest sized-collection coming out soon, as well as the Franklin Richards: Son of a Genius comic that collects the back-up stories.

I Love Comics!

I love comics! I really do. Nothing in particular is prompting this statement of emotion, just the realization that it needs to be said from time to time.
