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 tomorrow:
The pick of the week is the new
Gotham Central collection,
Half a Life, collecting what in my opinion is the best story arc from an already very good series, by Greg Rucka and Michael Lark. (BTW,
Gotham Central #6, the first issue in this collection, is still
up for grabs as part of our Free Comic Book Month.)
In other comics:
AAA Pop have the second issue of Michael Allred's
The Golden Plates, adapting the Book of Mormon.
AiT/PlanetLAR have the second collection of Tom Beland's
True Story, Swear to God:
This One Goes to Eleven.
Beckett have
The Ballad of Sleeping Beauty collection.
DC have the first issue of the new
Green Lantern series; new issues of
The Adventures of Superman (#640),
City of Tomorrow (#2),
Hellblazer (#208),
JLA (#114),
Legion of Super-Heroes (#6),
The Losers (#24); the final issue of
Sleeper season 2 (#12); the second issues of two Infinite Crisis tie-ins:
The OMAC Project and
Day of Vengeance; and the debut of their new logo on the first issue of the awkwardly-named
DC Special: The Return of Donna Troy, with sure-to-be pretty art from Jose-Louis Garcia-Lopez & George Perez.
Fantagraphics have the latest issue of
The Comics Journal.
Image have the second issue of
The Expatriate and the first issue of
Girls by The Luna Brothers.
Kandora have the second issue of
Barbarossa and the first issue of
Jade Fire.
Marvel have the debut of
Machine Teen; the conclusion of Peter David's first new story arc in
Incredible Hulk #81; the debut of JMS & Mike McKone on
Fantastic Four (#527); and new issues of
Captain America (#6),
Power Pack (#3),
Runaways (#4),
Spellbinders (#3), and
Ultimates 2 #6).
NBM have the debut of
Zorro.
TokyoPop have a new printing of the first volume of
Paradise Kiss (it's got very nifty art and a halfway-decent story to boot).
Viper have the third collected edition of
Dead at 17:
Revolution.
Wizard have the conclusion of
New West (#2) with pretty Phil Noto art.
Should be plenty of things for reading over the long holiday weekend!
It's still day twenty-four of the YACB Free Comic Book Month; but I feel like giving away another comic!
