we have no money
Powers Annual #1
At the rate that the series seems to come out these days, regular issues of Powers are kind of like annuals... but snarkiness aside, this book bucks some of the trends that usually go hand-in-hand with the idea of annuals in that it's produced by the creative team that churns out the monthly (ha) book... even moreso actually, as penciller Michael Avon Oeming contributes some of the writing here.
Brave & The Bold #12
Apparently The Brave and the Bold has been hemorrhaging readers since it's 100 K debut, and I'm about to become one of 'em. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be dropping B&B as of this issue. It's one of the five comics I have on my pull list at my LCS, but I'll be the guy to admit that the draw for the series was Mark Waid AND George Perez... and Perez has been gone since last issue. I like Jerry Ordway's pencils, but not enough to keep on keepin' on. It's a solid book, but I'm looking for places to trim my pull list and I think B&B is gone.
Noble Causes Archives TPB Vol 1
I've been hearing very good things about writer Jay Faerber's superhero-by-way-of The Kennedys ongoing series, but I've never been in the position to sample it. This trade seemingly collects a wealth of Noble Causes material (NOBLE CAUSES FIRST IMPRESSIONS, NOBLE CAUSES #1-4, NOBLE CAUSES: FAMILY SECRETS #1-4, NOBLE CAUSES: DISTANT RELATIVES #1-4, and the NOBLE CAUSES ongoing series #1-12) for under $20 bucks. Looks like a good value for your dollar!
The Complete Peanuts: 1967-1968
One of the best newspaper strips ever, one of the best reprint collections ever... I completely wore myself out on buying this by the second volume. They're great but I just got tired of 'em! I feel bad every time I look at my bookshelf- having the entire Peanuts collection in one place would be amazing, but I just don't feel the inclination. Don't let my ambivelence stop you though!
