Weekend Reading-- All Vertical all the time

Somehow, a bunch of Vertical manga showed up on my doorstep this week and I'm looking forward to diving into all of these.

First up is Twin Spica, a new manga series about a girl entering Japan's space school.  It may turn out to be more than that but I'm only a few pages into the book and it's fantastic.  I can't wait to get into more of this book.  If it's as good as the first chapter, this may be the book to really keep an eye on this year.

After that are two offerings from Osamu Tezuka-- MW and Blackjack V10.  I don't know why I've kind of avoided MW before but it's out now in a paperback edition so I broke down and bought it.  I'm looking forward to diving into this book.  And  to fill in some time between books, Tezuka's Blackjack is perfect for that.  There's about 10 or so short stories in this book.  I find I like to read one at a time and then let it sit in a bit before diving into the next story.  The only problem with that is that I've read the front half of most of the Blackjack volumes but by the time I get around to the next story, there's already a new volume out that I start reading.
