Here’s the latest one, from reader Snapper52… There was a comic I got [...]
Danielle Leigh’s Reading Diary — Otodama: Voice From the Dead volume 1
Youka Nitta’s latest series to hit stateside is a supernatural mystery that defies easy classification. Because it is published in Wings it is technically considered “shojo,” but besides the fact the male characters are a little too pretty, the story feels more like it straddles the shonen / seinen line.
Committed: A Double Dose of Peter Bagge
This month the world was lucky enough to see two publications by the elusive Peter Bagge: Other Lives and the Hate Annual (#8). How much did these two books enrich the world, in a literary sense, and a human one?

Maybe a few more people will actually buy it this time!
Casanova is back, baby! And it’s at Marvel, through their Icon imprint. Whoo-bleepin’-hoo!!!!!!!!! Sadly, it will probably sell many, many, many more copies even though the original was $1.99 per issue and this … won’t be (to be fair, the issues will be combined, so the price won’t be too prohibitive).
