March 2008 Comic Previews Picks

March 2008 Preview Picks. Nice selection this month, going to be hard to stay at my limit, shucks ;)

ANGEL REVELATIONS #1 (OF 5) – I’m a fan of Angel back from my X-Factor days, so this origin series definitely interests me.
BATMAN GOTHAM AFTER MIDNITE #1 – Will probably get this, Steve Niles and Kelley Jones art, which looks rad.
BODY COUNT SC – Trade of the Image TMNT series by Eastman and Biz; not sure, I’ve been meaning to check this out. Plus I think it’s oversized.
DEAN KOONTZS FRANKENSTEIN VOL 01 #1 (OF 5) PRODIGAL SON – I used to read Koontz books back in college, so I don’t think I can pass this up.
IN ODD WE TRUST GN – Ditto this. One of these is written by Koontz as well. Nice.
DEMO TP – Read one issue of this and liked it; was waiting for the collection.
HOUSE OF MYSTERY #1 – Love new Vertigo stuff.
INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #1 – Iron Man + Fraction, I’ll bite.
JOHNNY DYNAMITE TP – New print of Max Allen Collins and Terry Beatty trade; I guess this doesn’t have the red ink that the original series had.
JUDENHASS GN – New Dave Sim book on the holocaust. No brainer.
PROOF TP VOL 01 GOATSUCKER – I wasn’t blown away by the first issues, but I’m interested in seeing where this went. Pretty cheap, so why not. I think I was just put off bit by the first one, since I am a skeptic and don’t believe in this monsters stuff. But, I can suspend my disbelief when if comes to fiction, and since the “monsters are real?” stuff was in the back matter, that most likely won’t be in the trade I should enjoy this more. Hm, liking the trade because it does not have back matter, heh.
RUNNERS BIG SNOW JOB #1 (OF 6) – New Runners series, this time in color! Great! I really liked the first series, and color really suits this stuff, from what I’ve seen. Can’t wait.
SKYSCRAPERS O/T MIDWEST HC – Yes, wasn’t expecting this, and a nice HC even, great!
UMBRELLA ACADEMY APOCALYPSE SUITE TP -
This blew everyone away, so I have to get this.
USAGI YOJIMBO TP VOL 22 TOMOES STORY – I sporadically get the Usagi trades, but I’ll definitely pick this one up due to the inclusion of the Usagi Yojimbo Color Specials #1-3, which, as no one knows, contain Nilson Groundthumper and Hermy stories! I loved their special in the 80’s, and I’ve been meaning to pick up the color specials for this reason. One of the Usagi issues in this has been called the best Usagi story ever, so this should be a good package.
WOLVERINE AMAZING IMMORTAL MAN BLOODY TALES – Written by David Lapham, not sure on this yet. Still need to read his last Wolverine tale.
X-MEN ORIGIN COLOSSUS – Ah, Colossus, another favorite. Gimme!

I believe only the actual stories featuring Miyamoto Usagi from the old Fantagraphics UY Color Specials will be reprinted in Usagi Yojimbo Book 22: Tomoe's Story .

If you go to the Fantagraphics Books web-site, the second and third UY Color Specials are available, and actually on sale until the end of March. http://www.fantagraphics.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=180&Itemid=62&vmcchk=1&Itemid=62
