Although Naruto Nation is unleashed on the bookstores this week, the direct market is spared the wrath of the spikey-haired ninja until next Wednesday. (I think.)
So, what’s that leave for comic shops? How about a big 50th-issue blowout for DC’s Teen Titans, a giant-robots parody from Jeffrey Brown, and the long-anticipated Mice Templar from Michael Avon Oeming?
All right, it’s a little quiet this week. Consider it the calm before the nine-tailed demon fox storm. Or something.
For a rundown of the titles Chris Mautner and I think are worth special mention, just keep reading.
As always, let us know your choices in the comments below.
Chris Mautner’s pick of the week: CHANCE IN HELL HC
Huh. I thought this was out already, but I was probably confusing it with Speak of the Devil, Gilbert Hernandez’s other stand-alone story (that one being serialized by Dark Horse). This one concerns a young waif adrift in an ugly, poverty-stricken slum and how she spends her childhood bouncing between one potential family after the next. It’s about as grim as Hernandez ever gets, but it’s a masterful work, nevertheless, which is why I’m making it my pick of the week
Kevin Melrose’s pick of the week: HELLBOY DARKNESS CALLS #5 (OF 6)
I love that Mike Mignola has plumbed Russian folklore and fairy tales for this latest miniseries, pitting Hellboy against legendary figures like Koschei the Deathless, and his old nemesis, Baba Yaga. And what can be said about Duncan Fegredo’s artwork, other than it’s stunning? I was a little dissapointed that Mignola wouldn’t be illustrating Darkness Calls, but Fegredo has proved himself the perfect substitute. If that’s not enough to sell you, Ratatosk, the chattering World Tree squirrel, gets what’s coming to him in the opening page of this issue.
JUN070152 AMAZONS ATTACK #6 (OF 6) $2.99
JUN070163 OUTSIDERS FIVE OF A KIND WEEK 5 GRACE WONDER WOMAN $2.99
Kevin: These two miniseries — can we call a series of five related one-shots a “miniseries”? — wind to a close, leaving many to wonder why they were launched in the first place. That’s not a criticism of the creators; Will Pfeifer, Joshua Middleton, Pete Woods, Marc Andreyko, G. Willow Wilson and the others are obviously talented. It’s just that these series didn’t seem to serve a purpose. Oh, I suppose Outsiders: Five of a Kind could’ve been a placeholder, of sorts, creating breathing room for the relaunch of Batman and The Outsiders. But Amazons Attack? I don’t know …
MAY070230 COMPLETE BITE CLUB TP (MR) $19.99
Kevin: I have a strange relationship with Bite Club, the two Vertigo miniseries by Howard Chaykin, David Tischman and David Hahn. I’m a huge fan of Frank Quitely’s covers, and Hahn’s interior art. And what’s not to like about the (high) concept — rich and powerful vampire crime family in Miami? But something about the finished product doesn’t click with me, for some reason. I want to love it, but I end up only sort of liking it.
JUN070146 COUNTDOWN TO ADVENTURE #1 ( OF 8 ) (CD) $3.99
Chris: Except that I don’t want to countdown to the adventure. I want the adventure right now! Call me nitpicky and ADD-addled if you must, but it seems like a comic that claims to be all about sitting around waiting for the adventure to happen is exactly the opposite of what a superhero comic should be. I suggest renaming it to something like “There’s A Big Adventure Happening in the Pages of This Comic” or “Adventure! Now! Now! Now!!!” Those last two exclamation points are so you know I mean business.
MAY070178 MANHUNTER VOL 3 ORIGINS TP $17.99
Kevin: When, oh, when, will we see the promised relaunch of Marc Andreyko and Javier Pina’s series? I’m a little worried that we’ve not seen an announcement. However, the continued release of the collections is surely a good sign.
JUN070219 TEEN TITANS #50 (NOTE PRICE) $3.99
Kevin: DC marks the series’ 50-issue milestone with an all-star lineup of Teen Titans and Young Justice creators past and future: Sean McKeever and Randy Green, Marv Wolfman and George Perez, Geoff Johns and Mike McKone, and Todd DeZago and Todd Nauck. While, as an ’80s New Teen Titans fan, I’m happy to see the contribution by Wolfman and Perez, I’m really looking forward to this as McKeever’s first issue.
JUL071921 MICE TEMPLAR #1 $3.99
Kevin: Although it’s impossible for Bryan J.L. Glass and Michael Avon Oeming to avoid comparisons to David Petersen’s well-received Mouse Guard — hey, they’re both about anthropomorphic, sword-wielding rodents in a quasi-medieval setting — I imagine the differences will quickly become apparent. From what I’ve seen from reviews and preview pages, Oeming’s love for Norse mythology shines through, nudging The Mice Templar more toward J.R.R. Tolkein than Brian Jacques.
JUN072220 HULK AND POWER PACK PACK SMASH DIGEST TP $6.99
Kevin: Wow, it’s a really light week for Marvel; just 12 titles (including four collections and one sketchbook). But any week with a Power Pack book — even if it’s just a collection — is a pretty good one.
JUN072151 LAST FANTASTIC FOUR STORY $4.99
Chris: Oh, it so is not.
MAY073712 ASIADDICT GN (MR) $15.00
MAY073713 ASTHMA GN (MR) $17.00
Chris: Two books from Sparkplug Comics that came out ages ago, but seem to be cropping up on Diamond’s list for the first time. The first is a nice travelogue by Mat!? of his journeys in and around southeast Asia. The second is a collection of experimental, enigmatic short works by John Hankiewicz. Both are worth at least flipping through.
JUN073889 BECK MONGOLIAN CHOP SQUAD VOL 9 GN (OF 19) (MR) $9.99
Kevin: Harold Sakuishi’s slice-of-life/rock manga is one of my favorite series. I don’t know what else I can say about it, really, without repeating myself. It’s good, good stuff.
JUL073964 BILL MAULDINS UP FRONT GN $24.95
Chris: Well, here’s a nice surprise. A companion piece to Fantagraphics’ upcoming collection of Willie and Joe cartoons, Up Front is Mauldin’s classic 1945 prose story of WWII grunts, interspersed with plenty of cartoons and repackaged in a handsome 50th anniversary edition.
JUN073544 DEE SNIDERS STRANGELAND SEVEN SINS #1 (OF 4) (MR) $3.99
Chris: Man, they’ll give anyone their own comic book these days.
JUL073965 EMMA GOLDMAN A DANGEROUS WOMAN GN $17.95
Chris: I know nothing about this book other than the Amazon page I called up, but the idea of a comic about Goldman’s life is interesting enough to me to want to try to track a copy down.
JUN073897 GOTHIC SPORTS VOL 2 GN (OF 3) $9.99
JUN073437 MY HEAVENLY HOCKEY CLUB VOL 2 GN $10.95
Kevin: As I wrote before the first volumes were released, I’m definitely not the target market for these two books — I’m neither a teen-ager nor a girl — but that didn’t prevent me from enjoying them. I’ll be picking up both of these.
MAY073774 INCREDIBLE CHANGE BOTS GN $15.00
Chris: Jeffrey Brown shifts into parody mode for this piss-take on the whole Transformers phenomenon. Brown’s a pretty funny guy, so I imagine that this will be an enjoyable romp, though your mileage may obviously depend upon your love for all things Autobot.
SEP063510 LOCAL #10 (OF 12) (MR) $2.99
Chris: I will be buying this, yes.
JUN073552 MEAN GN $16.95
Chris: A collection of early Yikes comics by Steven Weissman. If you’ve been following Weissman’s work, you’ll want to check this out. If not, you may want to track down some of his previous books, like White Flower Day, first.
MAY073402 PUNKS THE SUMMER COMICS SP (MR) $4.99
Kevin: All right, let’s get this out of the way: I edit and write for Digital Webbing Press, which publishes Punks. That said, Joshua Hale Fialkov and Kody Chamberlain’s absurdist comic is definitely worth a look. You can see a preview at the Punks website, or read Michael May’s interview with the creators.
JUN074113 SQUIRRELLY GRAY SC $12.99
Chris: A god-honest children’s book by the ever-prolific James Kochalka, courtesy of Random House. Aimed at Ages 4-8, according to Amazon.
JUN073913 SUPER SPY GN $19.95
Chris: More stories of espionage from Matt Kindt. Word of mouth on this has generally been good.
APR073681 TOKYO IS MY GARDEN GN (RES) (MR) $18.99
Chris: A story about “how not to sell cognac to the Japanese.” It’s by Frederick Boilet and published by Fanfare/Ponent Mon. That should be enough to whet your appetite.
JUL074050 GIRLS AND CORPSES MAGAZINE VOL 1 FALL 2007 (MR) $8.95
Chris: ‘Cause nothing gets me hotter than the sight of barely clad wimmins standing next to special effects designed to closely resemble rotting flesh. Sex and death, all in one glossy magazine. I’d love to meet the guy who thought this magazine up. On second thought, no, I don’t.

Think you missed the point, Chris. It’s the last FF story done by Stan Lee. (Which opens the door to him doing a “Last” story with all the books…)

Not a ton of great stuff this week. I do like the continuing adaptation of Robert E. Howard’s Rogues in the House in Conan #43 and Robinson’s Bomb Queen IV #1 remains a lovely over the top Supervillain ride.
Sadly, I must also confess to enjoying Amazons Attack which strikes me as a fun JLA story so the final issue is of interest.
The real highlight of the week though may be the Batman Annual #26 which sets the groundwork for the Return of Ras al Ghul.
