So, EDE told me about the new Lone Ranger comic, which looks pretty groovy, and I'm thinking about picking that up.

Pov & Co. introduced me to Liberty Meadows not too long ago and I try to grab an issue here and there.

The Goon by Dark Horse has been consistently awesome for years, and has started coming out again.

Scott will shortly (most likely) tell us how awesome Walking Dead is...

So, what else is out there? I'm talking right now, on the racks this week and the next (2) - (3) months?

I still think Hunter Killer is among the best of what's out there. Tranquility is also extremely good. And the Kirby-esq Galactic Bounty Hunters mini is loads of fun.

Oops! I'm buying all those I mentioned so I probably shouldn't have posted them [Wink]

So you think you know me that well huh? [Wink]

Yes, I would say the Walking Dead is still a shoe-in. Still my favorite book out there. But there are a couple of others.

Anita Blake Vampire Hunter. Was being done by Dabel Bros. but now Marvel is involved. Still a Dabel imprint thought I think and a great book.

Highlander is good whether you preferred the television series or the movie.

Battlestar Galactica isn't too shabby either.

But I've fallen into the same trap Vee did. I buy all these titles.

Actually I've just realized that Cobie has used this thread to con everyone into doing all the research for him so that he knows exactly what to pick up when he goes to his CBS next week [Wink]

Guess I'll have to start calling Cobie Baldric instead. [Big Grin]

P.S.238 just keeps getting better. And Aaron Williams has announced plans to make more pages available for viewing on the website, so you can decide if it's your cup of tea without having to spend a lot of money. Once you fall in love with the series, TPBs are available to help you catch up.

Alas for Liberty Meadows! Marvel is evidently keeping Frank Cho too busy to spend any time on other projects. AFAIK, no new issue has been solicited since the very late #37 was finally released.

Death Note - a manga series I'm hooked on. It's up to volume 9 so far. A Death Note is a notebook from the Shingami realm - if you write someone's name in it, and you know their face, the person will die. One of these books comes into possession of a young man, Light Yugami, and he decides to create the perfect world by killing all the criminals. The plot is complicated, each book has lots of twists and turns. Light is a real devious villain (IMO) and an excellent illustration of "the road to hell is paved with good intentions".

My bud let me borrow Lone Ranger and Highlander. I still haven't read either book. He lent them to me cause I'm a fan of both characters. I gotta read them this weekend sometime.

I haven't read Highlander, but Lone Ranger has been great so far.

I have to agree with Miner. Mouse Guard's last issue comes out this month.

Ursa Minors is a great fun book. It's full of comic geekiness.

That reminds me, I haven't picked up any more Basara manga's in ages. I was really enjoying that. It's set in a postapocolyptic Japan where a young woman leads a rebellion against an evil ruler while disguised as her late twin brother.

Mouse Guard sounds fun; I'll have to look into it when it gets collected.

Shout out to Mouse Guard! I will add the following to the list:

1. Rex Libris (SLG): librarian goes on cosmic adventures to retrieve overdue books ... on a library budget (example: library can't afford a teleport directly onto a certain planet, so Rex is teleported to the planet's orbit and has to figure out how to get to the surface himself)... great supporting cast includes a talking bird intent on world domination.
2. Fallen Angel (IDW): Continuance of Peter David's DC series.
3. Castle Waiting (Fantagraphics): engagingly sweet fairy tale material, by Linda Medley
4. Wasteland (ONI): imaginative post-apocalytpic tale

Why are you laughing at me? It's unkind, as well as puzzling!
