Based 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 today:
The pick of the week is
Street Angel #5, the final (for now) issue of Brian Maruca and Jim Rugg's story of a skateboarding homeless teen who fights the forces of evil. You've read all the blog-o-sphere love, so pick it up, okay?
In other comics:
Adhouse Books has
Project: Superior, an OGN with stories by indy creators doing super-heroes.
Aeon has the third issue of Matt Howarth's
Bugtown.
ComicsOne.com (or whatever they're calling themselves now...) has the eleventh volume of
Iron Wok Jan.
Dark Horse has the third issue of
Concrete: Human Dilema, which is so far shaping up to be one of my favorite Concrete stories.
DC has two comics from the mad mind of Grant Morrison:
Vimanarama #2 & the debut of
Seven Soldiers: Shining Knight. Also from DC are the third
Sleeper collection; new issues of
Adam Strange (#6),
Fables (#35),
Gotham Central (#29), and
JSA (#71); and Chuck Austen's final issue (yay!) of
Action Comics (#825).
HK Comics has a new volume of Andy Seto's
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon adaptation (vol. 10).
Marvel has the first issue of
Wolverine: Soultaker, in which
Wolverine fights ninjas and zombies. What more do you need to know? Marvel also has a digest collection of Sean McKeever's
Inhumans and the first issue of his new
Mary Jane series,
Homecoming. Plus concluding storyline issues of
New Thunderbolts (#6) and
The Punisher (#18).
NBM has the collected
Hardy Boys volume, and the second issue of
Cryptozoo Crew--which, I have been assured, has monkeys!
Oni has the final issue of
Blue Monday: Painted Moon (#4).
Seven Seas debuts with two of their 'American-manga' volumes:
Amazing Agent Luna &
No Man's Land.
And finally, if you have $175 dollars burning a hole in your pocket, you can be the biggest geek on the block when you wear your
X-Men Cerebro Helmet Replica.
There's less than 48 hours left in my Spider-Girl contest (details here). I've still received only a few entries, so your chances of winning are good. That's 2 volumes of all-ages super-heroine goodness, and all you have to do for a chance to win is to tell me which actress you think should play Spider-Girl in a movie or tv show (and why).
