A blessedly small week, finally. 

  • Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season 8 Vol 6 Retreat TP--  I'm hoping this series picks up the pace a bit.  Honestly, I can't remember what's happened in any of the volumes past a giant Dawn rampaging through the streets of Tokyo, which I think was actually in the 4th trade.  What did happen in the fifth trade?  I'd like to know.
  • Sweet Tooth #7-- The last page of Sweet Tooth #6 was absolutely wrenching and it looks like #7 picks up that emotion, capturing the tone that Lemire perfected in his Essex County books.  If you asked me to name my favorite books of the moment, I have the feeling that I would overlook Sweet Tooth but each and every issue is just such a gut punch that I think I want to forget it as much as possible.  But here it is, another Wednesday, and I'm waiting for my gut punch.  Thanks, Lemire.
  • Girl Comics#1-- Anthologies aren't doing much for me right now.  They're filled with some fantastic stories, some crappy stories and some middle of the road stories.  But this one looks like a lot of fun.
