First recommendation: Wisdom #5. The best "X" book out there. Second recommendation: Blue Beetle #14. Consistent fun, and it hasn't been hurt by Giffen's departure. Third recommendation: Action Comics #848. Fabian Nicieza comes back to Action (without Busiek though). He's a good writer. This story should be good - even though it's just a fill-in.

A great little series, and each issue has been nicely self-contained so far. Witty, inventive comics. Mark 'Wisdom' #5. A great little series, and each issue has been nicely self-contained so far.

Another would be the Death Of Captain America - Avenger one-shot primarily as it's Ed McGuinness' first full book since returning to Marvel.

On the other hand, you presumably know by now whether or not you like Eisner's <i>Spirit</i>, so you've probably already decided against. The Spirit Archives Vol 21.

A good, fun & funny superhero book. Crossing Midnight is starting a new arc, too, and it's getting better with every issue. A very good read - spooky and mysterious without being confusing or obscure. I'll throw in anothe recommendation for Blue Beetle. A good, fun & funny superhero book.

Castle Waiting is a fun, light-hearted story set in an isolated castle, featuring a twist on some of the fables and myths we know from our childhood. I don't know that this issue is a good "jumping on" point, but I think it is easily accessible for the new reader. Linda Medley's artwork is gorgeous. It is being distributed by Fantagraphics, which is putting out some really beautiful books lately. If you like Usagi Yojimbo and Bone, I think you would enjoy Castle Waiting!

Oh, and yes, Paul Cornell is a GOD--I was going to link to the eBook of 'Human Nature', but it looks like they've taken it down (because they're adapting it for TV in a few weeks' time.) Still, he's a great writer. (Bit sappy at times. Still great.)

Way I figure in terms of sequel using the same characters and storytelling: Four would be derived from the four horsemen of the apocalypse. I'll leave that to your imagination. ;-) To Michael:

It's still probably going to be the most fun this week, though. If you're looking to get into a story that's not so close to completion, I'd recommend Crossing Midnight #6, which I've really been enjoying so far. It makes great use of Japanese folklore and Carey's writing has been superb as usual. Other than that, I want to check out God Save the Queen, but it's a little pricey for me this week. Still, Mike Carey working with the Sandman universe again with art by John Bolton is a pretty tempting package.

Wait! Amazons Attack is this week? I didn't look at the list closely. From one fellow Catwoman fan, don'tcha think you oughtta support Mr. Pfiefer here? Plus the covers are great. Plus, you know, warrior women with spears. (Although I'm still gonna grab Beetle too, ’cause I said I would and it's time to check out the little book. If it's really good, then it deserves the same sort of reprieve from the abyss that Manhunter got.) Oh, wow. Wait! Amazons Attack is this week? I didn't look at the list closely.
