  • Daytripper #3--  An enjoyable series so far.  As always, the art (mostly Fabio Moon I think but with some parts done by Gabriel Ba) is lovely but I wish that Dave Stewart's colors could show up a bit better on the Vertigo paper.  Like so many Vertigo books, his colors are coming out a bit muddy in this book.
  • Madame Xanadu Vol 2 Exodus Noir TP-- I really enjoyed the first volume of Matt Wagner's take on Madame Xanadu and want to see the Michael Kaluta artwork in this book.  I think this book has an appearance by Dian Belmont (of Sandman Mystery Theater fame) and I can't wait to see her again. 
  • Phonogram 2 Singles Club #7--  For some reason, when I hear the title "Wolf Like Me," all I can think of is "Hungry Like the Wolf."  Maybe Gillen and McKelvie are doing a Duran Duran issue.  I don't really know.  All I know is that I get sad every time I read how this may be the last Phonogram book.  I liked the first volume of stories but The Singles Club has been an excellent series and show how much both creators have grown and developed since Rue Britannia.  I can't wait to have the collection of this book on my shelf.  It'll get read over and over again.
  • Newave Underground Mini Comix Of The 1980s HC--  Underground comics are one of my big blind spots when it comes to the history of comic books.  I may try to pick this book up at some point to read some of this stuff.  Or maybe I should just go out and get an R. Crumb book instead.
