Danielle Leigh’s Reading Diary — Dogs volume 0 (Prelude)
Today I take a sneak peak at Dogs by Shirow Miwa, to be released later in April by Viz. This volume stands as a “prelude” to the series and as such offers an introduction to the titles’ 4 main characters and its preoccupation with violence all of kinds, while the central plot remains a bit [...]

Ahh, Sunday afternoons. Come home from church, put some sausage on the griddle, ignore your wife and children, and enjoy some links with your links. Here’s what happened on the comics internet in the past week.
Flippin’ through Previews – April 2009
Previews was, annoyingly enough, shipped a week later than usual, so it’s already April and we haven’t even made fun of all the Wolverine comics Marvel has coming out in the upcoming months!
