Fables - Volume 1

Story by: Bill Willingham | Art by: Lan Medina, Steve Leialoha, & Craig Hamilton | $9.99 USD, $13.50 CAN | vertigocomics.com
My new favorite series!! Seriously. Being raised on Disney movies, I'm a big fairy tale fan. This book takes classic fairy tale characters and places them in a modern (and underground) setting. Before you poo-poo the book, let me tell you...it is not for kids. heh. There's all the good stuff; sex, violence, and wealth. I just ordered volume 2 from amazon because my comic book store is out...and I really just cannot wait to read the next trade!!

Intercepting Fist: The Films of Bruce Lee & the Golden Age of Kung-fu Cinema

Jack Hunter | Glitter Books | $16.95 USD, £11.95


Not really a comic book, but I did pick it up at the comic book store. That counts right? This paperback chronicles Bruce Lee's films (with photos & discussion) as well as several other kung-fu flicks. I love Bruce Lee so this one was a no-brainer.

X-Men - Endangered Species

Story by: Mike Carey | Art by: Scot Eaton, John Dell, & Frank D'Armata | $3.99 USD, $4.75 CAN | marvel.com
Mutants are dying off & there's not enough of them to "repopulate." The 17-part set of 8-page back-up stories, runs weekly in the pages of the X-titles. It begins in X-Men #200. The art is beautiful!

Scott Pilgrim - Volume 2

Story by: Brian Lee O'Malley | Art by: Brian Lee O'Malley & Keith Wood | $11.95 USD | onipress.com



Volume 2 adds more video game elements to the fun read. Also, learn how to cook a vegan meal. Random isn't it. Also, Scott's heartbreaking ex will be coming to town. ::dun dun dun:: Plus, how is everyone connected?

Scott Pilgrim - Volume 1

Story by: Brian Lee O'Malley | Art by: Brian Lee O'Malley & Keith Wood | $11.95 USD | onipress.com
While reading this, I was wondering when the action would start. I soon forgot about the action because O'Malley does a great job building the characters' personalities. Also, the action does come. hah. Scott Pilgrim lives in Canada & kind of has 2 girlfriends...one of which has 7 evil ex-boyfriends that he has to defeat. It's graphic novel meets video game...and that equals addictive fun.
