So last week I restarted my off-again, on-again affair with John Constantine (Hellblazer #251) It’s been ongoing for almost as long as my love affair with comics, and it’s always nice to slip back into familiar territory, though it’s a little different, each time, as a different author puts his (or her!) stamp on John.
This time, it’s Peter Milligan, and his Constantine has a new girl in his life and a strange skin condition, and there’s some unexplained-as-yet connection to labor unrest. In short, politics, sex, magic, and a bit of wickedness. Just what we want from John. Why did I ever leave him?
So I’ve got Northlanders this week, and I fully plan on finding 08. Otherwise, it’s a light week for me. Any suggestions?

Mister X Archives. Great classic noir.
And if you haven’t read them, The Losers by Diggle and Jock.

What about a free mystery/science fiction comic that Ain’t it Cool News describes as “a really intriguing debut–a one-shot that leaves quite a mark after the last page is turned”?

It’s free and some people seem to like it… Just sayin’.

X-Force #11 is coming out. Kyle and Yost are doing a great job. It’s the best X-Book since, well, their run on New X-Men.

Sarah I’d recommend Echo which is up to issue 9…..Terry Moore + Strong Female Characters x a lil Govt conspiracy involving a nuclear powered flight suit that bonds with its wearer = comic gold!
