I’m out of witty comments to make this week–it’s been a busy week, if a good one.
Last week was Northlanders week, and since it was the end of an arc, I wrote a long review of it (short version? Best one yet. Read it). I also read Young Liars, which grows more twisted with each issue, and has me working on comparisons to Lolita, Memento, and a few other works with unreliable narrators. And then there was Warren Ellis’s new mini, Ignition City, which was slow to grab me but had me by the end. I’m always waiting for Ellis to make his typical jaded yet idealistic lead character a woman, and so each time a new series crops up with a female lead, I hope. We’ll see.
This week, DMZ #41 is on my list, as is Air #8. But is there anything else I’m missing?

Flip through Herbie Archives volume 3 if it ships tomorrow…the first two were amazing…was initially turned on to it from a couple Alan Moore interviews…great, eccentric stuff, a nice complement to your Vertigo readings.

REX MUNDI#17 COMES OUT TODAY. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I HAVE READ IN A LONG TIME. MOST OF IT IS IN TPB FORM.
