Black Hole

Story & Art by: Charles Burns | $17.95 USD, $22 CAN| pantheonbooks.com



You've got to love any book with a cover like that right?? I love the suspense and the darkness in this book. It's like reading a (good) M. Night Shamalan movie. Even though it's a really thick book it goes by quickly.

Invincible - Family Matters (Vol. 1)

Story by: Robert Kirkman | Art by: Corey Walker | $12.99 USD | imagecomics.com



Life is hard in high school. It's harder still to juggle adolescence PLUS being a superhero. The story is about a boy named Mark. Mark's Dad is from another planet (think: Superman) but Mom is from Earth. Mark's Mom is a crack up. I like this series, I think I'll get volume 2.

Not very into anime myself but I can't resist a good crossover. What can I say, it's cute!

Marvel 1602

Story by: Neil Gaiman | Art by: Andy Kubert | $19.99 USD | marvel.com


I'm partial to historical fiction. Mix in a touch of Marvel into it and I'm in heaven. heh. In this book, the Marvel universe is set in, well the 1600s. The art is very Van Gogh and the story is fun to read.
