- DEC070022 ABE SAPIEN THE DROWNING #1 (OF 5) $2.99The only tragedy about Dark Horse releasing Hellboy related series more often, is that my store inevitably orders too few copies, and the best I can ever do is pick up issues one, two, and four six or seven months later. We finally cracked the vault on Hellboy, and really, I wish there were more overt fight scenes in BPRD so it would make sense to talk about them here.
- AUG073978 ALBION ORIGINS VOL 1 HC $19.95
A fortnight ago [January 23] we mentioned the Jack Staff Special from Image, showcasing a rollicking tale starring Paul Grist's Union Jack homage, and a cast of characters derived from some of Britain's fictional finest. In Albion Origins
the much revered Alan Moore does his own take on these heroes, settling for nothing less than the real deal, as opposed to Grist's letigiously minded analogous copies. Probably not Moore's best known work in the United Sates because it features British characters and is only plotted by the legend, but well worth a look, I'd imagine.- DEC070207 DETECTIVE COMICS #841 $2.99
Freed from the villainous clutches of the Ra's Al Ghul Resurrection crossover, Detective finally has a chance to be worth reading again. Or does it? I'll be honest, as exciting as the announcement of Grant Morrison and Paul Dini on the Bat-books should have been, it never quite lived up to the hype. This issue is set to bring back the new Ventriloquist who's a character I'm yet to warm to, but with Dustin Nguyen's associated cool palette and confident dark inks, I might finally come around to it.
- DEC070262 JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED #42 $2.25
A good seventy cents cheaper, and by the look of things, continuing to pack some pretty decent stories. Really, I can't think of any reason not to care about the kid-friendly Unlimited book at this point. Between this and Marvel's Adventures titles -- it's like living in Bizarro-world!
- NOV073524 SNK VS CAPCOM TP VOL 08 SVC CHAOS $15.95
Given the Street Fighter-fest that's been going on around here for the last half a year, it's probably no shock to see this on the list. I think it's worth clarifying that these SNK/Capcom volumes are nothing to do with UDON, instead published by Dr. Master Productions Inc.
As much as that sounds like a front for an evil boss villain's operations, I'm actually pretty interested in trying to catch up with these books, which I have not yet had any experience with. If you've read one, stop by the comments and drop your thoughts!
