January 2008 Comic Previews Picks

My picks for this month:

COLLECTED AND THEN ONE DAY GN VOL 01 – Heard Ryan Claytor mentioned on ISR before; checked out his web site, looks like some good auto-bio comics, which I like.
COMIC BOOK COMICS #1 – New comic by the team who did Action Philosophers, this time the topic is comic books; can’t wait!
COMIC FOUNDRY MAGAZINE VOL 1 SPRING #2 – I liked the first issue, even though the “sound-bite” format got a bit tiresome after a while, so I’m looking forward to this one, and to check out their new format.
DARK IVORY #1 – New Lisner comic. I’ve always liked his work, mostly for the art.
DEAD SPACE #1 – New comic from Antony something, of Wasteland fame.
GUNPLAY #1 – Won the Comic Book Challenge this year. This was the one I voted for, due to the interesting concept. A guy gets a gun and has to kill one person a day or
HOLMES GN – Fear and Loathing take on Sherlock Holmes, too awesome.
NORTH WORLD GN VOL 01 – Hip D&D tales. Dug what I read of the comic online – a young hipster guy who gets hires to kill things (e.g. entities) for $.
PUNISHER WAR JOURNAL #17 – Chakin art.
SCREAMLAND #1 – Turns out the movie monsters are real, and losing work due to CGI. What will they do now? Sounds fun, and the art looks good.
SHARK-MAN #3 - #3 yay! Pete on The Stack said #1 sucked – he’s wrong.
SMUGGLING SPIRITS GN BOOK 02 (OF 2) - #1 was just solicieted last month, so this is quick (why not wait until #1 has shipped, or put both in 1 vol?) but I have faith, since the preview was great.
TERRY MOORES ECHO #1 – Terry Moore (Strangers in Paradise) new book. A no brainer.
YOUNG LIARS #1 – New David Latham (Stray Bullets) book; SB was great so here’s hoping.
PS238 TP VOL 05 EXTRATERRESTRIAL CREDIT – One of my new fav’s; school for kids with super power. This is just a great book, funny, interesting, smart, just great.
MOUSE GUARD TP FALL 1152 – I liked the first volume of this a lot and this seems to be more of the same. Great art, and great story telling.
