jazzfishGrant Morrison / Steve Yeowell, Sebastian O
Steampunk, with Illuminatus! levels of sex and weirdness. How quaint. Morrison has yet to really overwhelm me, especially when I could be reading Warren Ellis instead. Even the overall plot is subpar. Bleh.
Jerry Scott / Jerry Borgman , Random Zits
Collections seven and eight. Yet more daily comics about growing up a teenager. The sequence in which the antique VW bus actually starts moving amused me greatly.
Matt Boyd / Ian McConville, Mac Hall volumeOne Whatever
First collection of a fairly amusing webcomic. If I didn't know for a fact this was the first collection I'd feel like I was missing several weeks' worth. A lot of it comes across as in-jokes that I'm not in on. The art is alright, and the guy with a cat on his head for no discernable reason is rather cool. And the in-jokiness gets less as the collection goes on.
Bill Willingham et al, Fables: March of the Wooden Soldiers
Volume four. I really don't know why I never started collecting individual issues of Fables. Too late now, though, especially since Vertigo is being really good about releasing trade paperbacks. Some good development in both character and plot, and the first glimpse of the Adversary's forces. It's definitely going somewhere and will be a good ride as it goes.
Jon Stewart, America: The Book
Amusing history of the US, in pseudo-textbook format. Sort of an American version of 1066 And All That: brighter-colored and more in-your-face, but less clever. Still a fun read. Worth buying if you can get it on sale.
