Based on the
NCRL, here are some comics you may want to look at picking up at your friendly local comic shop tomorrow:
If you've been
paying attention, it will come as no surprise that the Pick of the Week is
Yotsuba&! vol. 4 by Kiyohiko Azuma. It's funny, it's adorable, it's smart, it's clever, and it's manga. What more do you want for your $10?
In other comics:
In addition to
Yotsuba&!, AD Vision also have the 11th volume of
Cromartie High School.
About Comics have
Schulz's Youth in hardcover and paperback.
Alternative Comics have a new issue of
Hickee (vol. 3 #3).
Amaze Ink/Slave Labor have a new issue of
Wonderland.
Antarctic have a new issue of
Gold Digger (#86) and the second issue of
Gold Digger Peeba Tales Summer Fun Special.
Boom! have trade collections of
Hero Squared and
Tag.
DC have a second trade collection of
Blue Beetle, and a first collection of
Stars and Stripe (under the
JSA Presents pre-title; it's a great all-ages super-hero title from before Geoff Johns got all dismemberment-happy); and new issues of
The Brave and The Bold (#4),
Catwoman (#68),
Countdown (#45),
Ex Machina (#29),
Hellblazer (#233),
Justice League of America (#10),

Delphine.

Jane's World.

Phonogram and the debut issue of
Madame Mirage.
Kenzer & Co. have the eighteenth
Knights of the Dinner Table Bundle of Trouble.
Maerkle Press have the fouth issue of the romantic super-hero comedy
Love and Capes.
Marvel have the third digest of Jeff Parker's
Marvel Adventures The Avengers, which has both the MODOC story and the Ego the Loving Plant story, making it the second-best collection you'll buy this week (after
Yotsuba&!, of course). There's also a hardcover collection of Parker's
X-Men: First Class; and new issues of
Captain America (#27),
Marvel Avengers Iron Man (#2),
Spider-Man/Fantastic Four (#3--that Parker guy again!), and
Ultimate Spider-Man (#110).
Viz have a ton of manga, including the debut of
Gin Tama and the 30th(!) volume of
Inu Yasha.
Go, buy
Yotsuba&! You won't be sorry!
Sunday is Monkey Covers day here at YACB. Because there's nothing better than a comic with a monkey on the cover.
Based on the NCRL, here are some comics you may want to look at picking up at your friendly local comic shop tomorrow:
I've been reading Green Arrow on autopilot for some time now. With last week's end to the regular series I figured it would be a good place to stop, especially since I think that the upcoming GA/BC wedding is coming off as forced and completely ignores 25 years worth of character evolution with both Ollie & Dinah.
Bill Doughty informs me that's he already has Runaways, vol. 5, which was chosen for him in day 40 (rats--I almost made it entirely through FCBM3 without giving someone something they already had!) So instead I'll be sending him issues #8-9 of Larry Gonick's Cartoon History of the Universe, featuring the histories of India and China respectively.
