It should come as absolutely no surprise that I am a Tank Girl fangirl. I even love the movie. Of course I own the first collections, but I am sorely tempted to spend money I don’t have buying the “remastered” versions that come out tomorrow. Like any good comic junkie, I can’t resist newer, prettier versions of books I already own. Yet I am broke, and must fight the temptation. Drop me a comment if you buy them and let me know if you think it was worth it, eh?
What am I reading this week? A little Bang! Tango (jury’s still out, but I’m also still reading) and a little The Boys, and that’s pretty much it. So suggestions are welcome. Make me spend my hard-earned cash on books I don’t already own.

You never seem to have too much superhero-ey stuff, but I might recommend Fantastic Four: True Story TPB by Marvel. It’s written by Paul Cornell, who is an excellent author. He’s also written for television, has a Young Avengers series starting next week, and is currently writing Captain Britain and MI:13. Sadly, I have no idea who the artist on FF:TS is.
Cheers,

Rumour has it that League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Century Vol I may be out this week (of course, some thought it would be out last week and were disappointed)…

Track down the collected Hewligan’s Haircut if you haven’t already got it.

Looks like Fin Fang Four Return! is the pick of the week for me.

Atomic Robo and the Shadow from Beyond Time #1! H.P. Lovecraft and Charles Fort team with a Tesla-built wisecracking Robot to save the world. Can’t go wrong with that.

Warren Ellis’ Authority, pretty much the first 12 issues.
Adam Warren’s Empowered, it seems one way at the beginning but develops into something awresome in vols 3 and 4.
Planetary
Three Shadows
Solanin (highly recommend)
