New This Week: May 24, 2006

Buckaroo Bonzai #1Based on the NCRL list for this week's comics shipping from Diamond, here are a few things to look for at the local comic shop tomorrow:


The Pick of the Week is Moonstone's Buckaroo Bonzai #1, bringing one of my favorite films ever to the comic page. Please please please please let it be good...


In other comics:

A-V/Win-Mill have a new Following Cerebus (#8).

Abstract have a new Strangers in Paradise (#82).

AD Vision have a new volume of Cromartie High School (v. 6).

Antarctic habe a new issue of Ninja High School (#138), the debut of the Gold Digger: Throne of Shadows mini, and a new Gold Digger Pocket Manga (v. 8).

Dark Horse have a collection of Concrete: Think Like a Mountain. This is the one where Concrete gets involved with an eco-terrorist group; I recall at the time that, while it was as well done as all Concrete series are, I wasn't sure if I liked it or not. I think it bears re-reading...

DC have the second post-re-reboot collection for Legion of Super-Heroes; the debut of Gail Simone's Secret Six mini; and new issues of 52 (week 3), American Way (#4), Birds of Prey (#94), Blue Beetle (#3), Catwoman (#55), Checkmate (#2), Hawkgirl (#52), Hellblazer (#220), JSA Classified (#12), Supergirl & the Legion (#18), and Testament (#6).
